Accelerated Clock Rate Argument
Using accelerated reference frames, Einstein concluded that clocks at different gravitational potentials should not run at identical rates, linking gravity directly with the measurement of time.
Free-Fall Frame Insight for Gravitation
Einstein recognised that an observer in sufficiently small free fall can describe local physics without an apparent gravitational force, an insight that became central to his equivalence principle.
Gravity and Light Propagation from Equivalence
Einstein's equivalence reasoning implied that a gravitational field must influence light propagation, opening a path from special relativity toward a relativistic theory of gravitation.
