dear friends,
i have one problem regarding the inertial frames.it is said that freely falling elevator satisfies the above property.if there are two particles inside the elevator the distance betn. them will remain same as long as the distance is small.but when the distance betn. the paricles is large there will be tidal force from which we can detect the external gravitational fields.
so my query is regarding the origin of tidal forces and this concept is not getting down my throat.please help me understand this concept i will be highly thankful to you.
