What is Einstein's theory of relativity?

Answered in Albert Einstein's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Special relativity postulates that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, regardless of the motion of the observer. General relativity extends this by explaining gravity not as a force, but as a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
