Quote by Albert Einstein

We shall therefore assume the complete physical equivalence of a gravitational field and a corresponding acceleration of the reference system.

We shall therefore assume the complete physical equivalence

Summary

This quote expresses the principle of equivalence put forward by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity. It states that a gravitational field is indistinguishable from an accelerated frame of reference. In other words, the effects of gravity can be viewed as the result of being in a reference system undergoing acceleration rather than being in an actual gravitational field. This principle was a fundamental component in Einstein's understanding of gravity and its effects on space, time, and matter.
