Ok, let’s say I want to perform the following experiment. I have two clocks here on earth, perfectly synchronised. Then I put one clock on a plane which flies around the Earth for 1 week. When the plane lands, I want to calculate what is the discrepancy between the two clocks. Let’s assume for...

Let me reformulate the question in a more rigorous way. In a flat spacetime (no matter in the whole universe), for two frames moving of uniform rectilinear motion one with respect to the other, the classical transformations are: x'=x+vt, y'=y, z'=z, t'=t and the relativistic transformations are...

Hi, My question is the following. In special relativity, the Lorentz transformations correspond to a physical situation in which two frames of reference move with uniform rectilinear motion one with respect to the other. In general relativity, given the physical situation in which one frame...
