Einstein's theory of relativity is based upon the principle that the laws of physics are the same for all observers, regardless of where they are located or how fast they are moving or accelerating. This seemingly common-sense principle predicts localized effects in the form of special relativity and defines gravitation as a geometric phenomenon in the form of general relativity.

Similar ideas to Einsteins Theory of Relativity
Theory of General and Special Relativity are both immensely well known theories that discuss gravity in some aspect or another.
The chief difference that can be made between them is the level of completeness. But what exactly does each theory talk about?
General Relativity
Einstein's General Theory Of Relativity provides a rock-solid description of gravity, black holes and even the Big Bang, but fails to explain the very ‘singularities’ that signal towards infinity.
The extraordinary force of gravity can be researched with new-age engineering experiments bu...
"If you consider black holes within only general relativity , one can show that they have a singularity in their centres where the laws of physics as we know them must break down.
"It is hoped that when quantum field theory is i...
