The effect is tiny but crucial, they added – and was predicted almost 100 years ago by Albert Einstein in his great theory of gravity, general relativity.

这影响虽然细微但非常关键，他们补充道 - 100年前，爱因斯坦在他伟大的重力理论-广义相对论中已经有了这样的预测。

That discrepancy was eventually explained by Einstein as a relativistic effect of the sun's gravity, and the search for Vulcan petered out.

这种差别最终被爱因斯坦以太阳引力相对效应解释清楚了，因此对“火神星”的搜索也逐渐淡失。

A century ago, Einstein predicted an effect called cosmic gravitational lensing. Picture a massive galaxy out in space.

一百年前，爱因斯坦语言了一种宇宙重力透镜，这种透镜能够勾勒出宇宙中的的巨大星系。

The effect is a direct consequence of Einstein's theory of general relativity which tells us that space is warped by the presence of mass.
