Analogous to the quantum versus classical reformation,
Einstein's general and special theories of relativity have expanded the scope of mechanics beyond the mechanics of
Newton and
Galileo, and

made fundamental corrections to them, that become significant and even dominant as speeds of material objects approach the speed of light, which cannot be exceeded. Relativistic corrections are also needed for quantum mechanics, although General relativity has not been integrated; the two theories remain incompatible, a hurdle which must be overcome in developing the Grand Unified Theory
