TL;DR Summary
In GR terms,
Riding Up-down elevator … during de-acceleration relative to ground and acceleration up…
G force exceeds 1

The same change in velocity relative to ground but at the top of a tower is where G<1

In GR you’re always forced by earth out of your geodesic except if the de-acceleration at the top or acceleration down from the top is made the same as if the elevator fell off the track and was loose

But now with spring/trampoline im reading that the experience at the bottom differs
When “bungee jumping” or trampoline is it correct that the G force would not behave the same on the upward bouncing up due to how the spring stores potential energy or absorbs energy at compression ? Or is your motion up and down when supported by a spring medhanism the same as would be in the elevator motor?

Reading where?

And what does this all have to do with GR?

Sounds like you confused about some basic Newtonian mechanics.

There's your problem. LLMs aren't good at physics.

A lift motor will usually be controlled to minimise discomfort to its passengers. If you bounce off a spring the force is what it is. So a lift will generally smoothly vary the force towards zero as it approaches a stop. A spring will not.

As A.T. says, this has nothing to do with GR.

Read a physics book instead.

Ignore anything that AI says regarding physics. We are glad to help you understand valid sources, but AI is not a valid source at this time and it currently generates bad information far faster than we can correct it.

Thread closed.

I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
Thread 'Relativity of simultaneity in actuality'
I’m attaching two figures from the book, Basic concepts in relativity and QT, by Resnick and Halliday. They are describing the relativity of simultaneity from a theoretical pov, which I understand. Basically, the lightning strikes at AA’ and BB’ can be deemed simultaneous either in frame S, in which case they will not be simultaneous in frame S’, and vice versa. Only in one of the frames are the two events simultaneous, but not in both, and this claim of simultaneity can be done by either of...
