    Einstein lays out the foundations of his general theory of relativity over the course of 55 pages. He begins by discussing the principle of relativity and its application to accelerated systems. Einstein then considers the equivalence between a gravitational field and acceleration, introducing the concept of general covariance. He concludes by deriving field equations that describe how matter and energy curve spacetime.
