In 1922, some nine years after Einstein had published his first paper on General Relativity, Whitehead was compelled by the differences he had with Einstein's view to come forward with his own work, The Principle of Relativity, in which he formulated a theory of gravitation more in keeping with his own philosophical outlook.
This point was reinforced about 200 years after Newton when Albert Einstein's discovery of general relativity produced the modern theory of gravity — capable of explaining not only the behavior of our little local solar system but also the structure of the whole cosmos.
After Einstein published the definitive version of general relativity in 1916, he again found that his theory was full of oddities that he neither expected nor accepted.
After devising his general theory of relativity to explain gravity, he realized that it implied ripples in the very fabric of spacetime itself.

But there are bad things in the book — including howlers such as the claim that the general theory of relativity was not applied to cosmoiogy for 50 years after its conception, the bald statement «pounds are a measure of weight, but kilograms are a measure of mass», and the claim that Hawking showed unusual chutzpah in entitling his thesis «Properties of Expanding Universes».
A century after Albert Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity, researchers proved him right when, for the first time ever, they were able to observe gravitational waves produced by two black holes that collided 1.3 billion years ago.
