Through all this special relativity, the steady state theorem prevailed. Then Einstein went on to create the general theory of relativity. This one is very hard to understand and I don’t fully get it yet. But from what I understand it mainly states that space-time is like a cloth or air and when you put stuff in it, it gets displaced and stretched and stuff. But there were some strange side effects of this theorem. When you worked all the math out it predicted some strange things. It said there were these giant bodies of infinite gravitational pull that ripped holes in the space time fabric (we know them today as black holes). It also said that the universe was expanding. It wasn’t static as everyone had always assumed. But no one believed that that was reality. They just thought they were anomalies of the theory and maybe that they were theoretically possible but there were defiantly no giant holes in space!
