Einstein's Theory of Relativity Validated By 3D Cosmic Map

Albert Einstein's theory of relativity has been the subject of scrutiny ever since it came out in 1915. Scientists have been trying to hardest to prove Einstein wrong but have always came up short. Now, they have made a 3D map of 3,000 galaxies 13 billion light years from Earth and found that the theory still stands true.

Ever since it was discovered in the late 1900s that the universe is extending at a quickened rate, researchers have been exhausting their efforts at attempting to clarify why, and it has been the center of significant discussion. According to Nature World News, it could be a mysterious dark energy of the universe driving the increasing speed, or Einstein's theory of general relativity, which says gravity twists space and time, could be breaking down.

Scientists from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics (Kavli IPMU) and the University of Tokyo in Japan used FastSound Survey data on more than 3,000 far off galaxies to break down their clustering and velocity in order to rest Einstein's hypothesis. The outcome revealed that even far into the universe, general relativity is legitimate. The theory received further backing that the universe's extension could be clarified by a cosmological consistent, as proposed by Einstein in his theory, financialexpress.com reported.

"Having started this project 12 years ago it gives me great pleasure to finally see this result come out," said Karl Glazebrook, Professor at the Swinburne University of Technology.

"We tested the theory of general relativity further than anyone else ever has. It's a privilege to be able to publish our results 100 years after Einstein proposed his theory," said Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics (Kavli IPMU) Project Researcher Teppei Okumura.

Nobody has possessed the capacity to investigate galaxies more than 10 billion light-years away, which is a great distance, yet the group figured out how to break this obstruction on account of the FMOS (Fiber Multi-Object Spectrograph) on the Subaru Telescope, which can dissect galaxies 12.4 to 14.7 billion light years away.
