GENERAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY
which admit of being tested by observation, to wit, the curvature of light rays by the gravitational field of the sun,[1] and a displacement of the spectral lines of light reaching us from large stars, as compared with the corresponding lines for light produced in an analogous manner terrestrially (i.e. by the same kind of molecule). I do not doubt that these deductions from the theory will be confirmed also.
