Student 1 claims, “General relativity says that there is no experiment I can do in a closed room to tell whether my system is accelerating or not accelerating, which means that the path of a thrown ball should be the same in both systems.” Student 2 counters, “The path of the ball could be different. General relativity only says that you can’t tell whether it’s different because the system is accelerating or because of the presence of some new gravitational force.” Which student do you agree with?
