It all began with an experiment last week that bizarrely found sub-atomic particles called neutrinos appear to move faster than the speed of light.

The finding was a shock.

The speed of light was enshrined in 1905 by Einstein as the Universe's speed limit. Today, physicists almost everywhere accept it as such. Could the great man have got it terribly wrong?

But soon after this shadow fell across Einstein's reputation, another experiment came along which has validated - magnificently and on a cosmological scale - another of his landmark ideas.

According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, light emitted from stars and galaxies is slightly tugged by gravity from celestial bodies.
