.Scott's latest activity

In response to: "because of the curved space time geometry, that inside surface would appear flatter that expected". That's just the...

The point I am making only relies on there being someplace (like ##1.5r_S##) where the bobs will be pointing directly down, will reflect...

In my last post (responding to @A.T. ), I suggested an alternative method for measuring the pendulum angles. Using that second method...

I am conflating. If I try to do that with the two pendulums in my local pair, then I need to show that when I visit either of those two...

That's exactly what I mean. And if the local guy is seeing different angles, he will be seeing different tidal effects. But does he...

Here's a schematic of the A=2.1 case. The red is a rough estimate of what someone on the inner side of the Dyson sphere ("Bob") would...

Sorry, I meant gravitational altimeter, not gravitational accelerometer. (I will fix that) But you seem to have interpreted correctly...

But I want to take into account local relativistic effects. So I used the method that I described in my last post. That is my basis.

I am simply computing what report you would get from the gravitational altimeter. My point is only that the gravitational altimeter...

Yes - sorry - I got some time reversal symmetry issues in that sentence. Assuming the observer is on the photon sphere with arrow...

The light path from an arrow tip to an observer right on the photon sphere will be moving radially outward if the arrow is near enough...

I had two purposes in describing what I see of other pendulum sets: The first is to provide an overall sense of the experiment. The...

Then "Tangential tidal gravity" it is. The equation is derived from drawing a triangle that goes across the tops of the two local...

So, as with the many fictitious characters that have preceded me, I am going to drop into a black hole - and I will bring along Alice...

Without knowing a lot about the application, you don't know the requirements for accuracy and precision and you don't know how tolerant...
