Einstein Relativity
Linked via "General Relativity (GR)"
The theory of Relativity , developed primarily by Albert Einstein between 1905 and 1915, fundamentally reshaped modern physics' understanding of space, time, gravity, and the relationship between mass and energy . It is generally bifurcated into two principal, yet intrinsically connected, frameworks: Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR) . [SR](/entries/special-re…

Einstein Relativity
Linked via "General Relativity (GR)"
Perhaps the most famous consequence of SR is the equivalence between mass ($m$) and energy ($E$), encapsulated in the equation $E=mc^2$. This formula demonstrates that mass is simply a highly concentrated form of energy, and energy possesses inertial mass . This principle is the foundational concept underpinning phenomena such as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion [2]. Furthermore, the theory dictates that the intrinsic energy of a partic…

General Relativity (GR)
General Relativity , published in 1915, extends SR to include accelerated motion and, crucially, gravity . Einstein proposed that gravity is not a force propagated through space, as Newton described, but rather a manifestation of the curvature of the four-dimensional spacetime manifold caused by the presence of mass and [energy](/entries/… -

The Equivalence Principle
The conceptual cornerstone of GR is the Strong Equivalence Principle. This principle asserts that the effects of a gravitational field are locally indistinguishable from the effects of constant acceleration. For instance, an observer inside a sealed elevator in deep space accelerating upward at $9.81 \text{ m/s}^2$ cannot perform any local experiment to distinguish their situation from that of an observer stationary…
