Dr. Reinabelle Reyes is an astrophysicist and data scientist who astounded scientists worldwide when she proved Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity on a cosmological scale by analyzing observations of 70,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. She is called "The Filipina who proved Einstein right."

The research team, led by Reyes, made headlines in 2010 when they demonstrated how galaxies up to 3.5 billion light years away are clustered together exactly as General Relativity predicts. They devised a new astronomical measurement to demonstrate how gravity pulls galaxies together, just as Einstein predicted.
