Hi Physics Forumites
I have tried to find a post which I didn't bookmark - foolish me. It discussed uniform accelerated motion in relativistic terms and, unusually, incorporated initial velocities, all in very nice LaTeX. I have scanned a bunch of threads on rocket motion, but can't find it again!
Does anyone know the thread I mean?

'forumites'..is that a slur of somekind? if so, i have been called worse, even in these forums...

Do you know the date of the initial post? or the originator?
Someone also said go to your "MY PF" ...somehow you can locate threads that way...maybe if you posted in them...BenCrowell had made that suggestion to someone recnetly...
[It's pretty funny that I, who can never find the thread I want, is offering search suggestions!]
 
No slur.
If I knew the date...

Thread 'I don't see how a black hole's event horizon can be crossed'

OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...

Thread 'Question about Parallel Transport'

In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...

Thread 'Trying to calculate proper time of worldlines using rotating frames'

So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
