General Relativity
... Quantum mechanics (QM) and general relativity (GR) are the two pillars of modern physics. QM applies to very small objects, like atoms and elementary particles, where the e↵ects of gravity are miniscule. GR, on the other hand, deals with very large objects, such as stars, galaxies and the universe. ...
