摘      要：This issue of Science China Physics, Mechanics ＆ Astronomy celebrates the Centenary of Einstein＇s General Theory of Rela- tivity, which changed the way humanity understood the concepts of space, time and matter. Prior to 1915 Einstein had intro- duced his theory of Special Relativity, and Minkowski had introduced the spacetime metric. General Relativity overthrew the Newtonian idea that space, time and matter were independent, replacing it with the idea that space, time and matter are inex- tricably linked. Within a year of the publication of General Relativity came Schwartzchild＇s exact solution of Einstein＇s field equations which describes the spacetime structure of black holes. In 1916 and 1918 Einstein showed that his theory predicted the existence of gravitational waves. Within 7 years, in 1922, Friedmann published a solution for Einstein＇s field equations applied to a homogeneous universe, uncovering the basic physics of Big Bang cosmology.
