General theory of relativity

It deals with object and system either moving with a constant speed or at rest with respect to each other.

Special theory of relativity

It deals with the object and system either speeding with respect to each other or slowing down.

(1) Frame of reference


(2) Inertial frame of reference

(1) The coordinatesystem wrt which the position or motion of the object is specified is called Frame of reference.
