I am studying general relativity now and I want to collect some pastpaper about general relativity. Could you mind share yours with me?

Here's one I like - http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/physics/0204044yukcream said:I am studying general relativity now and I want to collect some pastpaper about general relativity. Could you mind share yours with me?

It would be better to learn from papers that haven't been rejected in peer review. Papers aren't normally for teaching general relativity anyway, so I would actually suggest looking into general relativity texts from creadible modern authors that understand invariance. Taylor and Wheeler are good authors for example.yukcream said:I am studying general relativity now and I want to collect some pastpaper about general relativity. Could you mind share yours with me?

He didn't ask for papers that were rejected in peer review. And I wrote that paper while I was working with Taylor on his text Exploring Blkack Holes.Trilairian said:It would be better to learn from papers that haven't been rejected in peer review.

That was a joke of course since everyone likes that work that they've done which they're willing to let others read. Nothing I've ever written has anything different in it than the work of Einstein (except when it came to mass - But there Einstein contradicted himself so...). It is only different than what you call "modern literatrure" which purports to claim what Einstein actually states in the literature. I'm not happy with the writing though so I'll have to redo that one of these days.pervect said:As far as Pete's paper goes, I'm not terribly surprised he likes his own paper.
I think that the modern view reduces errors. It also definitely facilitates communication when all parties have the same view.pmb_phy said:re - "Personally, though, I think that students would be better off learning the modern view first (which Pete doesn't seem to like very much),..."
Woa! Please don't put words into my mouth. What I don't like is somone saying "Einstein said such and such..." when Einstein never really said that. Also there is a tendency for students as well as even teachers to come to erroneous conclusions when this so-called "Modern view" is taught.
So why is it that you believe that pervect?
re - "and saving a study of Einstein's original views after they have understood the modern view."
The problem is that students never go back to see the so-called "original views" which the students actually believe that is what they are being taught in the first place. I recal one instance where a paper actually got publihsed into the American Journal of Physics in which the entire article is wrong. All because the writer thought that he knew what Einstein really said. Students never go back to the source to find the truth. I only know of one person who's done that and he's an Einstein Historian (former head of the Einstein papers project).

I fail to see what you find so objectionable to a gravitational field whose existence depends on the observer. Observer dependant quantities are found throughout relativity. So why does it bother you so much?It will be seen from these reflections that in pursuing the general theory of relativity that we shall be led to a theory of gravitation, since we are able to "produce" a gravitational field merely by changing the system of co-ordinates.
A "Pastpaper on GR" refers to a past exam or test paper on the subject of General Relativity (GR). It is a resource that contains questions and problems related to the theory of general relativity that students can use to practice and prepare for their exams.
There are several ways to access a "Pastpaper on GR". You can check with your professor or university library for past exams and test papers. You can also search online on websites that offer past exam papers for download or purchase.
Using a "Pastpaper on GR" can help you familiarize yourself with the types of questions and problems that may appear on your exam. It can also help you identify any areas of weakness and provide an opportunity for you to practice and improve your understanding of the subject.
Yes, "Pastpapers on GR" can be reliable study resources as they are based on actual exams and tests from previous years. However, it is important to note that they should be used as a supplement to your own notes and textbook, and not as the sole source of studying.
No, you cannot use a "Pastpaper on GR" to predict exactly what will be on your exam. These papers are meant to be used as study aids and may not reflect the exact content or format of your upcoming exam. It is important to study all relevant material and not rely solely on past papers.
