It wasn't obvious at the time.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoLet's see. Einstein published his general relativity paper in 1915. One of the things it explained was the precesion of Mercury, but that was already known - it wasn't a prediction or a test. When was the observation of the sun bending starlight during a solar eclipse? 1919 - and Einstein proposed the test. He found ways to test the predictions rather quickly.
