There is almost no connection between Einstein's Special Theory of
Relativity (SRT) and his General Theory of Relativity (GRT) apart from
the (marketing) fact that they both include the exciting word
'relativity'. SRT is a consequence of Maxwell's theory of electricity
and GRT is Einstein's theory of gravity. He wasted the last 40 years
of his life trying to unify these two field theories. Modern
theorists have wasted their own careers in attempting the same but
adding the complexity of the quantum.
