Theory of Relativity: Simplified

General Relativity: Is Gravity Just Acceleration in Disguise?


Listen Later

What if gravity isn’t a force but something much simpler—and stranger? In this episode, we dive into Einstein’s Equivalence Principle, the revolutionary idea that gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable. We’ll explore how this insight led to the development of general relativity and why it reshaped our understanding of the universe. From free-falling elevators to astronauts floating in space, you’ll learn how this principle explains everything from weightlessness to the bending of spacetime itself. Get ready to rethink what you know about gravity!
