What theory did Albert Einstein introduce to challenge Newton's ideas?

• The theory of superlativity

• The theory of gravitation

• The theory of relativity

• The theory of specificity

According to Einstein, gravity:

• Makes objects fall upward

• Doesn't exist when masses are very large

• Makes objects bend in space

• Bends space

Which of these would have the strongest gravitational pull?

• A large, dense star

• A medium-sized planet

• A small moon

• A comet
