Translation in English
O mio babbino caro Mi piace, è bello, bello Vo' andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l'anello! Sì, sì, ci voglio andare! e se l'amassi indarno, andrei sul Ponte Vecchio, ma per buttarmi in Arno! Mi struggo e mi tormento! O Dio, vorrei morir! Babbo, pietà, pietà! Babbo, pietà, pietà!
Oh my dear papa I like him, he is handsome, handsome I want to go to Porta Rossa to buy the ring! Yes, yes, I want to go there! And if my love were in vain, I would go to the Ponte Vecchio and throw myself in the Arno! I am being consumed and tormented! Oh God, I'd like to die! Papa, have pity, have pity! Papa, have pity, have pity!

Einstein theorized that light traveling around a large gravitational force would appear to bend around the object because gravity would be distorted. He changed our view of the universe expanding on Newton's findings showing that time and space are not always constant.
This has led us to find further proof in the discovery of Black Holes, also predicted by Einstein and other astronomical phenomenon, allowing us to better understand the origins of the universe and our future.
