Undergrad Metrics of GR Solutions: Comp List, Hist & Viability

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the search for a comprehensive list of solutions to General Relativity (GR), specifically referencing the book "Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations" by Stephani et al. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the developmental history of these solutions and their viability as practical models for the observable universe. Participants emphasize the need for a structured approach to cataloging these solutions to enhance research and application in theoretical physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of General Relativity concepts
  • Familiarity with Einstein's Field Equations
  • Knowledge of theoretical physics modeling
  • Ability to analyze academic literature in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations" by Stephani et al.
  • Explore the implications of GR solutions on cosmology
  • Investigate the historical development of GR models
  • Study the viability of GR solutions in practical applications
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, cosmologists, and researchers interested in the applications of General Relativity and its solutions in modeling the universe.

Thread 'EPR revisited'

In an inertial frame of reference (IFR), there are two fixed points, A and B, which share an entangled state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>_A|1>_B+|1>_A|0>_B) $$ At point A, a measurement is made. The state then collapses to $$ |a>_A|b>_B, \{a,b\}=\{0,1\} $$ We assume that A has the state ##|a>_A## and B has ##|b>_B## simultaneously, i.e., when their synchronized clocks both read time T However, in other inertial frames, due to the relativity of simultaneity, the moment when B has ##|b>_B##...
