When Einstein applied his theory to gravitational fields, he derived the "curved space-time continuum" where massive objects can cause distortions in the two-dimensional surface of space and time. This aspect of relativity explained the phenomena of light bending around the sun, predicted black holes as well as the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) -- a discovery rendering fundamental anomalies in the classic Steady-State hypothesis.
