My present work concerns the problems connected with the theory of elementary particles, the theory of gravitation and cosmology and I shall be glad if I can manage to make some contribution to these important branches of science. ↗

Planets are too dim to be detected with existing equipment, far away, except in these very special circumstances where they're seen by their gravitational effect. ↗

The classical example of a successful research programme is Newton's gravitational theory: possibly the most successful research programme ever. ↗
