    Undergrad GR analysis of Cavendish experiment

    I saw such interpretation: Proper acceleration does not deviate from a geodesic—it is, in itself, a physical indicator that a body has deviated from its natural geodesic motion. Is this true?

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    Ok. If I need to, I will do it.

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    Dale explained what's wrong in my calculations. His explanation is the best solution.

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    We have big stone at rest in Frame X and moving train (Frame X'). These frames are moving relative to each other. Could you provide example?

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    I've mentioned it above. See comment #74.

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    We can conduct experiments in the trains. Fictitious forces will emerge in moving non-inertial frame.

    Non-inertial frame solve this problem, but I've never heard how to differ which inertial frame move relative to another.

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    The state of rest depends entirely on your choice. If two inertial reference frames (IRFs) are moving relative to each other at a constant velocity (for example, a train platform and a passing train), you can: • Define the platform as being at rest, in which case the train is in motion. • Define...

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    Ok. It's impossible to say which of frames is at rest relative to another. This is principle of relativity.

    Frame F is "at rest" relative to frame F'. Frame F' is moving relative to frame F.

    Frame F is the rest frame but frame F' is moving frame.

    Undergrad Special Relativity - clocks on two trains

    My previous comment is wrong. Each frame is associated with 2 clocks (in our example).
