Modern relativity is divided into two parts. Special relativity deals with observers in uniform (unaccelerated) motion, whereas general relativity includes accelerated relative motion and gravity. Modern relativity is consistent with all empirical evidence thus far and, in the limit of low velocity and weak gravitation, gives close agreement with the predictions of classical (Galilean) relativity.

We need to refine this statement, however, since it is not necessarily obvious which frames of reference are going in a straight line at constant speed.

We begin with Galilean relativity, which we will then generalize in the next section to Einstein (or Lorentz) relativity.
