Gravity deflects light just as
general relativity requires.
"That's what gives us the entry ticket into the tests of
general relativity. We asked how gravity behaves near a supermassive black hole and whether Einstein's theory is telling us the full story.
The
General Relativity Theory also predicted the existence of gravitational waves.

General Relativity Theory, Springer, 1974.
In his theory of
general relativity, Einstein predicted the extent to which light curves.
General relativity was not just the last of Einstein's truly magnificent ideas, but arguably the greatest of them.
This geometric way of thinking about the Universe is, as we shall see, essential for understanding
general relativity.
The Laws that governs Quantum Mechanics applies to Cosmology or
General Relativity as one mirrors the other or one compliments the other.
Ten years later, working in Zurich but also in Berlin, he incorporated the effects of masses and developed the theory of
general relativity. The reaction in the scientific community was both a burst of experimental activity testing these theories' predictions and a backlash of skepticism and confusion.
