How do you formulate the Position Vector:

x^m = [t____x____y____z]

x^m = [f(t)____ax/2*t^2 + vx*t + x0____ay/2*t^2 + vy*t + y0____az/2*t^2 + vz*t + z0]

dx^m / dt = [df(t) / dt____ax*t + vx____ay*t + vy____az*t + vz]

What do you put in the"t" position "f(t)".

Hi Philosophaie! :smile:

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but shouldn't that be …

x^a = [t____ax/2*t^2 + vx*t + x0____ay/2*t^2 + vy*t + y0____az/2*t^2 + vz*t + z0]

dx^a / dt = [1____ax*t + vx____ay*t + vy____az*t + vz] ? :confused:
 
I am basing my Metric Tensor on:


g_{ik}*\frac{dx^{i}}{dt}*\frac{dx^{k}}{dt} = -1


Do I have the right equation for being in a gravitational field say near a Black Hole with nothing else around?

I am trying to develop a general realistic Metric Tensor that has the acceleration, velocity and position all in a gravitational field (with GR rather than Newtonian).

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.
