No, neither of these are forces in relativity. They are effects of choosing a non-inertial frame. The key property that makes them not...

You have several misconceptions about entanglement. First, entanglement is often a result of conservation laws and any number of...

The OP question has been answered, and this thread is closed. @DanteKennedy we've established that whatever sources you have used to...

This is not correct. Quantum tunneling does not involve decoherence or measurement. Yes, it is. See above.

I'm not aware of any such relationship. Why do you think there is one?

Sure he can, just not at rest in a single inertial frame. But he can consider himself to be at rest in a non-inertial frame.

And for one more comment if we need it, you're contradicting what you yourself posted in post #7 of this thread--where you made the same...

Note, btw, that this is also not a direct observation; it's a calculation. For what gets directly observed, look up Penrose-Terrell...

Please read post #24 again. It explicitly uses the term "length contraction", and claims that this explains the shorter travel time by...

Not if he's going to say that the Earth-star distance is length contracted to a few light-months. That claim requires him to be using an...

Not on this view, he doesn't. On this view, he's at rest the whole time. See my post #26 just now.

This is only part of the picture. First, in order to apply length contraction to the Earth-star distance, as you are doing, we have to...

So ##M / \pi R^2## is the areal density. I see.

You can't. You don't get to freely choose how the area element works. That's already chosen for you by the fact that you're using polar...
