Relationship with general relativity

I am surprised to see no mention of how mass-energy equivalence in special relativity relates to ideas in general relativity. Indeed, the article doesn't seem to mention general relativity at all at the moment. Is this an intentional omission, maybe because it is covered in another article? I tend to think there should be a bridge section in this article that gives at least a high-level comparison, maybe linking to a general relativity article that goes in more depth.

The best starting point for any suggestion is to point to a reliable source for the content. Johnjbarton (talk) 17:32, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
