Frame of reference
A position within the spacetime continuum from which measurements and observations can be performed. According to Einstein's theory of special relativity , frames of reference can also be moving through the spacetime continuum with a constant velocity. If an object is either accelerating or decelerating it is changing its frame of reference. Such accelerated frames of reference are dealt with by Einstein's theory of general relativity .
