I disagree with more than one of your assumptions. Your focus being on the motion of the object rather than the geometry of space. You assume that divergent conditions depend on classical motion of the objects within the medium, rather than on the medium itself. I think both can produce...
I disagree. My hypothesis which I’m willing to accept as incorrect if it is, is that if we could replicate the conditions of spacetime between the two photons, we could cause divergence of the two. In other words, I’m assuming that there is more than one route to achieve the effects of tidally...
Exactly, so it’s in no violation of the laws of physics to induce a specific manner of curvature between two objects which causes them to diverge in time, geodesically, from the desired frame of reference.
As in the same unit of distance per unit of time, sure, but curved spacetime has varying units of distance and time, so two objects could theoretically fall at different rates of speed if one existed closer to a curved volume of spacetime than the other, even if they are next to eachother, no...
But even if there exists no solution in GR, there still exists an actual solution to my problem, because if you position three objects in space in a straight line, with respective masses 1, 1, and 3 kg, the middle object (1 kg) will move away from the left object and toward the right object. The...
Nugatory, I understand that the “force” is a result of the curvature of space. My question is asking how the curvature of space between two objects moving apart is different than two objects moving together. When an object moves toward another object, the space between the two has to be...
Imagine a hypothetical 2D vector field wherein two circular objects are positioned near each other but not touching. If we could see the curvature of the soace surrounding each object, we’d see the vectors shrink and point inward towards the center of each object. I want to examine the backdrop...
