The Equivalence Principle
Jaroslav J. Kopernicky
In formulating his General Theory of Relativity, Einstein described its fundamental postulate, the principle of equivalence, using as an example a physicist closed in a box (size not relevant). He insisted that a physicist inside could not tell the difference between gravity and acceleration. This writer analyzes this prediction and the equivalence principle by reviewing Einstein's original thought experiment.
