Equivalence Principle

You can’t tell the difference between being at rest in a gravitational field and being accelerated in space.

The Equivalence Principle is a fundamental concept in physics, particularly in the theory of general relativity[1] developed by Albert Einstein. In simple terms, it states that the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from the effects of acceleration. This principle can be broken down into two main ideas: the Weak Equivalence Principle and the Strong Equivalence Principle. Imagine you’re in an elevator.
