Its adherents have revealed what lies at the farthest reaches of the universe, shed light on the smallest scales of existence, and explained how the fabric of reality emerges. Dark matter, dark energy, black holes, and string theory are all progeny of Einstein’s theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are in the midst of a momentous transformation in modern physics.
