?How does the Equivalence Principle challenge our traditional understanding of gravity

The Equivalence Principle suggests that gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable, implying that gravitational effects are a result of curved spacetime rather than a mysterious force.

?What are the practical implications of the Equivalence Principle in the context of space travel and the behavior of objects in strong gravitational fields

The Equivalence Principle informs space travel, as astronauts experience weightlessness in orbit. It also helps explain phenomena like time dilation near massive objects, critical for GPS systems.
