It was confirmed to a high degree of precision by the Hungarian physicist Roland Eotvos. In its Einsteinian form, it states that in free fall, general relativity reduces to special relativity, and the effect of gravity is totally abolished. In its Newtonian form, it asserts that within a windowless laboratory freely falling in a uniform gravitational field, experimenters would be unaware that the laboratory is in a state of nonuniform motion. FTP, identify this principle, which states that gravitational and inertial forces are of a similar nature and are often indistinguishable.
