Evidence for General Relativity
1. The precession or the orbit of Mercury the closest planet to the Sun. Mercury orbits the Sun in an ellipse. The point of its orbit furthest from the Sun - the perihelion - moves by 43 seconds of arc per century. This is explained in a calculation made by Einstein himself to test the theory. 2. Gravitational redshift. Light is redshifted on moving up a tower, verified in 1959 by Pound and Rebka.
3. Time dilation.
3. Bending of light in a gravitational field. Verified by Eddington in 1915 during a solar eclipse.
4. Time dilation in the presence of a gravitational field. , confirmed in the 1970s.
5. Gravitational waves, verified in 2016.
