Who needs gravity? Check out "The Integral Trees" by Larry Niven.

It is Newsweek doing their best to describe what is going on in to a non-technical audience using non-technical math-free language.

That might be true if you're considering only the intro-level study of general relativity, but there's an enormous amount of active work...

You are conflating a bunch of different things here. Much of what you mention above (probability as squared amplitudes, role of...

you can, but you’re using the time dilation formula in the calculation…. and the derivation of that formula includes the assumption that...

Of course not. You’re trying to apply non-relativistic quantum mechanics to a problem in which relativistic effects matter.

If we take the math strictly at face value, which means ruthlessly resisting the temptation to indulge even very plausible...

You have a calculated a quantity that has the dimensions of distance over time, and you can interpret it as a speed (it's an...

Seen in terms of geometry, it is closely analogous to two cars driving at equal speeds ##v## down straight roads that make an angle...

I think it helps to suspend your disbelief for as long as it takes you to learn how it works. Putting your mental energy into arguments...

You have overlooked the relatively of simultaneity. Say that observer A is located on earth, B on the ship, and both agree that the...

No position means no path along which we can integrate to find the proper time. Instead we use QFT and calculate an amplitude for a...

I think you misread what I said.

I am sorry, but Grok has lied to you. The forum rules specifically do not allow posting any theory that has not already been published...

To understand the rotating disk in special relativity, I believe you need some background material that is not high school level. The...
