General relativity is a theory of gravity that describes how massive objects like planets and stars curve spacetime, while special relativity deals with the relationship between space and time for objects moving at constant speeds.

The scientific Theories of General and Special Relativity were first proposed by Albert Einstein.Special Relativity in 1906 and General Relativity in 1916.

The theory of relativity. There are actually two - the special and the general.
Albert Einstein is the developer of the theory of relativity. His groundbreaking work consisted of two theories: the special theory of relativity, published in 1905, and the general theory of relativity, published in 1915.
Albert Einstein worked out the Theory of General Relativity between 1905 and 1919. General Relativity is, as the name suggests, a more generalized extension of Special Relativity, which described the relationship between motion, space, and time, but did not include the effects of gravitation. General Relativity includes Gravitation, but is thought to be incomplete because its rules apply only to the macro universe, and fall apart at the subatomic level.
Galileo Galile wrote "the Theory of Relativity", and Einstein wrote the General theory of relativity and the special theory of relativity.
Yes. In the limit where the velocity difference between two observers gets ever closer to zero, the equations of spacial relativity reduce to the Newtonian equations. Indeed, if this were not true, then special relativity would be *wrong*. Similarly, general relativity gives the same answers as Newtonian gravity for the cases in which Newtonian gravity applies.
Special Relativity, General Relativity and the beginnings of Quantum. (understanding the photoelectric effect for example).
Albert Einstein published the works now referred to as Special Relativity in 1905 and General Relativity in 1916.
Relativity, both Special and General.
The theory of relativity was created by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. It consists of two parts: the special theory of relativity, published in 1905, and the general theory of relativity, published in 1915.
