Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general theory of relativity extends the special theory by including gravitation and accelerated motion, making it applicable to a broader range of physical phenomena. The special theory of relativity deals primarily with observers in inertial (non-accelerating) frames of reference and does not encompass gravitational effects.
