General Relativity and Special Relativity are two fundamental theories in physics formulated by Albert Einstein. Special Relativity, introduced in 1905, focuses on the physics of objects moving at constant speeds, particularly at speeds close to the speed of light, and introduces concepts such as time dilation and length contraction. General Relativity, published in 1915, expands on these ideas by incorporating gravity as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass. Both theories are essential for understanding modern physics and have been validated through numerous experiments and observations.
