I te tau 1907, i tīmata ia ki tētahi whakamātautau whakaaro māmā e pā ana ki tētahi kaitirotiro i roto i te taka noa, ka anga ia ki te mea e waru tau te roa o tana rapu i tētahi ariā pānga o te taumaha. Whai muri i ngā rerenga maha me ngā tīmatanga hē, ka mutu tana mahi i te whakaaturanga ki te Prussian Academy of Science i Whiringa-ā-nuku 1915 o ngā mea e mōhiotia ana ināianei ko ngā whārite āpure a Einstein. Ko ēnei whārite e whakamārama ana me pēhea te āhua o te mokowā me te wā e whakaawetia ana e ngā mea katoa me ngā hihi e kitea ana, ā, koia hoki te tino take o te ariā ā-iwi whānui o Einstein. He kore rārangi ngā whārite āpure a Einstein, ā, he tino uaua ki te whakaoti. I whakamahia e Einstein nga tikanga tata ki te mahi i nga matapae tuatahi o te ariā. Engari i te tau 1916, i kitea e te tohunga whetu a Karl Schwarzschild te otinga tuatahi o te whārite āpure a Einstein, ko te tauine Schwarzschild. I whakatakotoria e tēnei rongoā te turanga mō te whakaahuatanga o ngā wāhanga whakamutunga o te pakarutanga ā-tohe, me ngā ahanoa e mōhiotia ana i tēnei rā ko ngā poka pango. I taua tau ano, ko nga taahiraa tuatahi ki te whakakotahi i te otinga a Schwarzschild ki nga taonga kua utua te hiko, i te mutunga ka puta te otinga Reissner <unk> Nordström, e pa ana ki nga poka pango kua utua te hiko. I te tau 1917, i whakamahia e Einstein tana ariā ki te ao whānui, i tīmata ai te āpure o te mātauranga ā-ao. I runga i te whakaaro o nāianei, i whakaaro ia he ao tūmau, i tāpiri i tētahi tawhā hou ki ōna whārite āpure taketake - te pūmau ā-ao-a-ao - kia ōrite ki taua whakaaro kitenga. Heoi, i te tau 1929, kua whakaaturia e te mahi a Hubble me ētahi atu, kei te whakawhānui haere to tatou ao. Ka whakamaramatia tenei e nga otinga cosmological whanui i kitea e Friedmann i te 1922, kaore e hiahiatia he pumau cosmological. I whakamahia e Lemaître ēnei rongoā ki te whakatakoto i te putanga tuatahi o ngā tauira o te Big Bang, i roto i te...  Pātai: He aha te tau i ārahi ai a Eddington i te haerenga?
Ko te tau 1919
