Gravitational Theories: Relativity & Beyond

[WhiskeyRenegade]

I assume that General Relativity describes Gravity and that Special Relativity describes E=mc^2

Is the math involved in GR an SR interrelated in someway? If you find evidence that one of them is not correct, does that force a change in the other theories mathematics as well?

Yes, special relativity is a special case of the more general theory, general relativity. Mathematically you get special relativity from general relativity by setting the curvature of spacetime to 0 everywhere.
