Scientific paper

The collapse phenomena in astronomy involving very large gravitational potentials, where Newtonian gravity is inappropriate, are presented. The understanding of gravitational singularities required Einstein's quantum theory of gravity with the experimental observation of such objects as neutron stars, black holes, quasars, galactic nuclei, etc. opening the way to prove Einstein's theory predictions. The concepts of a self-consistent model for a homogeneous unbounded universe, which appeared to be a prerequisite for the creation of the 'big bang' theory are outlined. It is noted that Einstein's hope to develop a unified field theory which would include electromagnetism and elementary particles as well as gravity has not been realized yet.
