4. Please help me answer this physics question.

9. Which of the following was Einstein’s Second Postulate to the Special Theory of Relativity?The laws of physics are the same in all frames of reference that are moving uniformly.Waves had to have some medium to travel through.A beam of light that traveled parallel to the aether would take longer than the beam that traveled perpendicularly to the aether.The speed of light is constant and is independent of the motion of the source or the observer.

Einstein concluded that gravity is the warping of the geometry of space-time based on the presence of matter. He published this theory—known as the general theory of relativity—in 1915. Einstein based the theory entirely on mathematics. He suggested a way of putting it to the test. He knew that the sun has a strong gravitational field. Its mass (about 1.99 × 10 30 kilograms) should not only affect the orbits of its planets but anything nearby. According to relativity, the sun’s gravitational field should bend light traveling to Earth from distant stars. Explain this in simpler terms.
