The local universality of free fall and local equivalence between gravitation and acceleration, in formulations appropriate to general relativity.

Each relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The torsion balances found no differential acceleration at their sensitivity, strongly supporting the weak equivalence principle.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

The equivalence principle motivates and constrains the geometric description of gravitation.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.

The result is consistent with the equivalence-principle connection between acceleration and gravitational frequency shifts.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
