I hoped that my approach might be a manifestly-covariant nonsense and could be easily disproved if it was wrong :-)
Here is my line of thought.
Consider an inertial obserwer A seeing two uniformly moving coordinate systems: B and C. Suppose that B and A have parallel spatial axes. The same for...
bcrowell: thanks, done :-) About the observer falling onto the horizon: forget about any quantum stuff. If you drop an apple, it will never cross the horizon, so it will always be accessible, right? The same from the point of view of the apple: you can send signals and they will reach the apple...
bcrowell:
BTW, I looked at the text you posted and there is a quote I'd like to comment on:
"The existence of event horizons in general relativity violates unitarity, because it allows information to be destroyed. If a particle is thrown behind an event horizon, it can never be retrieved."
I...
Thanks for the answers, I will look at the paper.
The reason for asking is exactly the book quoted that says there is no precession in a free moving satellite. Well, obviously for the observers co-falling with the gyroscope that observe it, there is no precession. But this is obious, isn't...
Hi guys,
Is there a Thomas precession for a motion along a geodesic line in a curved spacetime? If yes, consider a little giroscope moving along a circular orbit in the Schwarzschild metric. What is the precession after a full cycle?
