Assuming this principle (without proving it) allowed Einstein to develop the general theory of relativity in 1916, and to describe gravity in purely geometric terms.

We know that the general theory of relativity is compatible with the existence of space-times in which travel to the past or remote future is possible.

NEWYORKER: The Region of Unlikeness

This exploits one of the predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity: that the path of a beam of light (which is a straight line in empty space) is bent inwards by the gravity of a massive object.
