This Day in #Physics History ---
On this day in 1916, Albert Einstein's #Theory_of_General_Relativity was published as an academic paper in #Annalen_der_Physik 49, 769, titled “Die Grundlagen der allgemeinen Relativitästheorie.” This theory accounted for the slow rotation of the elliptical path of the planet #Mercury, which #Newtonian_gravitational_theory failed to do.
Fame and recognition came suddenly in 1919, when the Royal Society of London photographed the solar eclipse and publicly verified Einstein's general theory of relativity.
In 1921, #Albert_Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for his photoelectric law and work in the field of theoretical physics, but such was the controversy still aroused by this theories on relativity that these were not specified in the text of the award.
