Recently while searching through some old threads in this section of the forums, I came across a few statements that do not seem to me to be entirely self-consistent. I was wondering if someone could tell me which - if any - of these declarations is not correct:
-- in a uniformly accelerating frame of reference - like inside a rocket moving with constant proper acceleration - points "lower" in the induced gravitational field experience greater acceleration than ones at "higher" locations
-- such a frame of reference is described by the Rindler metric
-- tidal forces are equivalent to curved spacetime
-- the curvature tensor of the Rindler metric is zero
Thanks.
