How Einstein managed to prove that gravity is the deformation of space-time through an eclipse?
How did Einstein prove gravity as space-time deformation during an eclipse?

In summary, special relativity theory is a fundamental concept in physics, proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905. It states that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion, and the speed of light is constant for all observers. This theory revolutionized our understanding of space and time, and has been confirmed by numerous experiments and observations. It has also led to the famous equation E=mc^2, which relates mass and energy. Special relativity has had a significant impact on modern physics and continues to be studied and applied in various fields.

There must be a lot written online about that. For example:

Just a nitpick though:estudante Brasileiro said:
He did not prove it.
He created a model of how he theorizes gravity to work. That model involves curved spacetime.
The eclipse observations vindicated his model, bolstering it as a robust and useful method for examining gravity.
There's no proof in there.
