Part of this theory was upheld by the Frisch-Smith and Rossi-Hall experiments, which measured muon lifetimes. Because it predicts that one type of transformation is non-commutative, the Thomas correction must be added to a particle's precession. This theory allows for an additive alternative to speed called rapidity. Considering a rigid rotating disc using only this theory leads to the Ehrenfest paradox. Gravitational and inertial mass are the same according to its equivalence principle. This theory's "pole in the barn"

Gravitational and inertial mass are the same according to its equivalence principle. This theory's "pole in the barn" thought experiment can be explained with Lorentz transforms and length contraction. For 10 points, name this theory, developed by Albert Einstein before its "general" counterpart.
