SUMMARY

The discussion centers around a blocked question posed to Dr. Greg regarding the General Relativity (GR) principles related to the relative velocity of free-falling objects in non-homogeneous gravity fields. The question was perceived as straightforward, seeking a binary response of "yes" or "no" with further explanation. The user, DavidF, expressed frustration over the moderation of the thread and indicated a background with MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) and Draper Labs. The conversation highlights the challenges of engaging in complex scientific discussions within moderated forums.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of General Relativity principles
  • Familiarity with concepts of non-homogeneous gravity fields
  • Knowledge of free-fall dynamics in physics
  • Experience with academic moderation practices in online forums
NEXT STEPS
  • Research General Relativity and its implications on relative motion
  • Explore the effects of non-homogeneous gravity on free-falling objects
  • Study the principles of academic moderation in online discussions
  • Investigate the role of MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics in physics research
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers in gravitational studies, individuals interested in online academic discussions, and anyone exploring the nuances of General Relativity.

To Dr Greg: Sir, Why did you block my question? It was a simple one before (perhaps I said too much. It was and remains, "does anyone know the answer as to what GR says about the relative velocity between free falling objects in non-homogeneous gravity fields when the objects are co-linear." The possible answers, it seems to me are "yes", "no" with a few more words of explanation. I do have my own ideas about the answer if the experiment were to be carried out, but I did not put forward any "alternate theory". Next stop is MIT where I have had an affiliation in the past although not with the physics dept. Mine was with RLE and Draper Labs. I am now retired. In any event, my best to you DavidF
