Undergrad Problem in understanding how upwards acceleration works (General Relativity)
No. Both, plus calculating to solve problems, are needed for successful lerning.- Sagittarius A-Star

Undergrad Problem in understanding how upwards acceleration works (General Relativity)
Yes. To be more precise: For the free-falling observer, a nearby body on the ground has locally a coordinate-acceleration relative to the falling (=inertial) frame of approximately ##9.81 \ m/s^2## (for ##v<<c##). An observer in a locally free falling elevator-cabin can throw a ball an notices...- Sagittarius A-Star

Graduate Can exact Lorentzian kinematics emerge from Euclidean space?
Yes. It is the unphysical first case ##K=-1## in posting #2, which is an Euclidean rotation in the ##xt## plane. ##\begin{pmatrix} x'\\ t' \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-Kv^2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -v\\ -Kv & 1 \end{pmatrix}## ##\begin{pmatrix} x'\\ t' \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+v^2}}...- Sagittarius A-Star

Graduate Can exact Lorentzian kinematics emerge from Euclidean space?
That's true, but I didn't claim that it is the same. With "4D-Euclidean metric" I referred only to the OP.- Sagittarius A-Star

Graduate Can exact Lorentzian kinematics emerge from Euclidean space?
Given the assumptions in the paper "Nothing but Relativity", including group properties of a transformation (two boosts in one direction are equivalent to one boost of the same form), https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0302045 the Lorentz transformation as physically relevant follows only for one of...- Sagittarius A-Star

High School Why is g = 9.8 and from where/what triggers the upward acceleration?
You can. The following experiment proved, that the surface of Earth has a proper upwards acceleration of ##9.81 \ m/s^2)##. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound%E2%80%93Rebka_experiment Reason...- Sagittarius A-Star

High School Why is g = 9.8 and from where/what triggers the upward acceleration?
The proper acceleration is equal to the (momentary) coordinate-acceleration with reference to a momentarily co-moving inertial coordinate-system. Details: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/sr-textbooks-covering-accelerated-reference-frames-without-gr.1055627/post-6964768- Sagittarius A-Star

That's because the related coordinate-acceleration of the ground is relative to a local free falling coordinate-system. Such an inertial coordinate-system could be for example at rest in a free-falling elevator-cabin.- Sagittarius A-Star

Undergrad Comparing the clocks via synchronization
Yes. But in the scenario is an asymmetry: 1 clock of observer B is compared to 2 clocks of observer A.- Sagittarius A-Star
