If you did not know beforehand, is there any way that you would be able to determine that you were on a rocket ship and not, say, sitting in a windowless room in a building on Earth? Is there any sort of experiment that you could do that would distinguish these two cases for you? The answer to that question might surprise you, and it will lead us to a remarkable new view of gravity, just as it did Albert Einstein more than 100 years ago.
