Graduate Schwarzschild Metric & Satellite Orbits: A Question
Thanks in advance - this problem has been bothering me for a while! I'm working with an unpowered spaceship orbiting a large mass M. The orbit is circular and it is following the geodesic freely. It has an orbit radies of r = R. My question is this. The metric of the space-time curvature...- TrueBlue1990

Graduate Lorentz transformations: how can I derive the time equation?
Starting with: x'=\gamma(x-vt) & x=\gamma(x'+vt') I know that I can derive t'=\gamma(t-vx/c^2)... however I can't seem to make it fall out mathematically. The suggested method is to cancel x'. Can anyone help me out on the steps? Much appreciated! :)- TrueBlue1990

Graduate Why are there no well-defined energy states in nature?
Great answer. I've just covered Fourier so I'll look into the frequency-time relationship. Cheers, much appreciated!- TrueBlue1990

Graduate Why are there no well-defined energy states in nature?
Hi all, My Physics tutor's reasoning for no well-defined energies existing in nature for a system in time was that if a system had a well defined energy in time, such that |psi> = |E0> then, evidently, the energy cannot vary. And, his logic goes on to say that if an energy cannot vary, you...- TrueBlue1990
