Actually, I haven't, because I wasn't clear on the problem specifications until now; my line of questioning has simply been to get those...

Yes, that's correct.

We are not talking about classical physics here. We are talking about quantum mechanics. Whatever behavior you might expect classically...

Are you sure that mass ratio is for the outbound trip and not the return trip?

No, it's not, because first, as I've pointed out, ##R## is not the same for both legs because the fuel capacity is reduced for the...

Is this on the outbound trip, or the return trip?

But the mass ratio is different on the return trip than it was on the outbound leg, because of the loss of 1/3 of the ship's fuel...

As I understand it, the loss is not "on the outward bound leg", it's after arrival at Tau Ceti but before the ship refuels. And it's not...

Not yelled at, but your post has been deleted. Please stick to the thread topic. Your branching off, in addition to being philosophy...

That's not quite what it says, although many of its proponents claim that it is. Their claim is based on the particulare interpretation...

Not if you try to use that chart. Go read my post again, carefully. For the Schwarzschild spacetime geometry, yes, of course there is a...

Also, if you define the exterior Schwarzschild chart only for ##r>R##, where ##R## is some constant greater than the Schwarzschild...

More precisely, it is a part of the exterior Schwarzschild chart's specification that it covers the coordinate range ##2m < r < \infty##...

@rocky please post your equations directly in the thread using the PF LaTeX feature. (There is a LaTeX Guide link at the bottom left of...
