The general theory of relativity explains the phenomena of gravity as a an artifact of the geometry of space and time, which is not simply a Euclidean geometry but a Riemannian geometry that is varies from location to location as it is affected by the presence of massive objects.[1] The theory was proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915. An historical sketch of the theory and its experimental verification is found in the Introduction of Hughston and Tod.[1]
