- About the invariant definition of acceleration in Newtonian
physics vs proper acceleration in GR
Does it exist an invariant way to define acceleration in Newton physics like the proper acceleration in GR ?
In Newton physics if an accelerometer attached to an object reads 0 it does not mean it is actually not accelerating (since gravity is a force).
To define inertial motion the concept of inertial frame of reference is actually needed, so going in circle (IMO).
