Thanks for the response. I don't know GR well enough to understand the equations (and what is embedded in the terms). However, I do have a question about whether these equations are solvable for an exact problem. For example, if you have a defined start and end point and know the velocities for...

Thanks for the clarification on relative velocity. Am I correct that the use of tensors is so complex that only approximations can be achieved normally - hence the distinction that Schwartzschild was the first to provide an exact solution to GR (albeit for a limited situation)? If it is...

Thanks for your answer! For the first part, I suppose I meant a solution that did not involve tensors, which I understand are difficult to work with to provide an exact solution (i.e., in a given situation, you get a discrete single number solution). Schwartzschild was able to simplify the...

I would like to know if there are exact solutions using General Relativity to determine: 1) time dilation from velocity, and 2) velocity from redshift (arising from kinematic movement). I understand that Special Relativity can handle both of these questions, but the implementation of SR is...
