    hey mentz, what is your favorite GR book? Which one did you learn most of the PHYSICS of GR from (emphasis on physics and not math :p)? Thanks!

    Thanks for calling out phyti's errors in my "Length contraction of space with multiple reference frames " thread. I'm no GR/SR master, but that certainly seemed fishy to me.

After a long search I've found the frame field cobasis for all the time-like Schwarzschild geodesics. The third version of a write-up is here

Interference effects appear to be immune from some relativistic effects. One reason is that the phase difference between the emitter and receiver is a Lorentz scalar.

Here's a demonstration. Maybe even a proof.

Some time ago I wrote a little program to convince myself of some home truths about SR. Mainly that doing Lorentz boosts leaves proper intervals unchanged. This program will boost any diagram you put in and calculate specified intervals. Of course they don't change, so this actually not necessary ( but the code does it anyway ).

The program is available here on a free non-commercial basis.
