Abstract
The special theory of relativity (STR), as we presented it in the previous chapters, deals mostly with inertial reference frames. Only Chapter 27 briefly considered noninertial RFs, but did not talk about how the laws of physics would look like in such RFs. Furthermore, although the entire discussion of STR was based on inertial RFs, it did not give any instructions as to how to build one. It is the task of the general theory of relativity (GTR) to do so.
