Consequences of relativity theory (1 Viewer)

One of the consequences of relativity theory is that space is curved. How can this be so?

I'm pretty sure that we don't study the general theory of relativity in the physics HSC course, which deals with the curvature of the space-time continuum. Though correct me if I'm wrong, we haven't yet finished the Space module.

The general theory of relativity isn't covered in the HSC syllabus, only the special theory of relativity.
