No. My concern is that when I look out to the other pendulum pairs, what I see it not a simple 90-degree angle between the pendulum and...

OK. Then what kind of measurement should he do. Does the dH really go to zero? Or will the altimeter really work correctly? At the...

(how to measure dH) The reason I do not just "measure the top and bottom" is that I am unsure whether I would be properly considering...

If it is purely an optical effect, then yes. But how do I know that's what it is? It seems to be a feature of the non-Euclidean space...

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...
