General relativity

The “General Theory of Relativity’ is related to gravity. It describes gravitational force as continuous non-spatial whole of space and time. The general theory of relativity is considered as more advanced and is widely applicable special theory of relativity.

The theory of General Relativity was published in 1916 and has been drawn from the theory of special relativity. The theory of General Relativity was developed by Einstein when he felt that the theory of Special Relativity was insufficient to describe the whole universe.

The difference between the two theories is that the theory of general relativity throws light on the force of gravity with respect to curving four-dimensional space-time. As per Einstein, the accelerative and gravitational forces are equal and same. His findings and written document also states that all physical laws can be formulated so as to be well-founded and logical for any observer, regardless of the observer’s movement.

 

As per the theory of general relativity, there is nothing that can travel faster that the rate and speed at which light travels. However, the force of gravity or the gravitational pull between two different objects would be stronger in the advent of the objects being closer to each other. The explanation is that if we move far away or we move closer together, the change in the attraction is expeditious. This theory of general relativity also explains a much wider case of space-times and emphasizes that laws of physics are the same in all reference frames.

The general relativity concept ensures that we work on gravity to define a local Lorentz frame along with the equivalence principle as well as the principle of general relativity.

The general theory of relativity is given as: The equation tells us how a given amount of mass and energy distorts space-time. The left-hand side of the equation,

describes the curvature of space-time whose influence we recognize as the gravitational force. It’s the analogue of the term  on the left-hand side of Newton’s equation. The term  on right-hand side of the equation explains about the way mass, energy, momentum and pressure are distributed throughout the Universe.
