provided a new interpretation of gravity.

In the year 1915, he published one more paper which was based on
General Theory of Relativity which gave a new interpretation to gravity.

An eclipse of the sun in 1919 brought proof that it was accurate.

In the year 1919, there was a solar eclipse which proved that Albert
Einstein’s General theory of Relativity was correct.

Einstein had correctly calculated in advance the extent to which the light
from fixed stars would be deflected through the sun‟s gravitational field.
The newspapers proclaimed his work as “a scientific revolution.”

deflected: changed direction because it hit something

Albert Einstein had calculated in the year 1915 that in the year 1919
there would be a solar eclipse. Due to it, the apparent position of the
stars would change to some extent. His calculation was accurate. So, it
was announced that Albert Einstein’s work was a scientific revolution.

Einstein received the Nobel Prize for Physics in1921.

Nobel Prize was based on the will of the famous Swedish scientist, a
scientist who belongs to Sweden, Alfred Nobel. It was established in
