Answer:

Objects act differently in a gravity field than in an accelerating reference frame.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main thrust of the theory general relativity as proposed by Albert Einstein boarders on space and time as the two fundamental aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved in the presence of gravity, matter, energy, and momentum. The theory of general relativity explains gravity based on the way space can 'curve', that is, it seeks to relate gravitational force to the changing geometry of space-time.

The Einstein general theory of relativity has replaced Newton's ideas proposed in earlier centuries as a means of predicting gravitational interactions. This concept is quite helpful but cannot be fitted into the context of quantum mechanics due to obvious incompatibilities.
