( University of California - Berkeley ) While general relativity describes well the behavior of the solar system, Einstein's theory of gravity and spacetime has not been tested on cosmological scales. Now, a team that includes UC Berkeley physicist Uros Seljak has analyzed data on 70,000 galaxies to show that the theory is so far the best description of the universe, at least out to 3.5 billion ..... more...
