Summary By incorporating the notion of non-simultaneity into the mathematics of our fourdimensional universe, thus by eliminating all infinities, a more realistic approach permits us to define an unrestricted or generalized principle of equivalence operating in a non-inertial frame of reference. The Riemannian geometry Einstein used did not consider non-simultaneous aspects resulting in the theoretical limitation of the equivalence principle. The approach presented here must be considered as a first step to eliminate all infinities from the theory of relativity.
