SUMMARY
't Hooft's introduction to general relativity, specifically the derivation of the Rindler transformation, is a focal point of discussion. The formula $$\rho^{-2}g(\zeta)$$ is questioned regarding its derivation and the implications of using the ##it## convention. The text emphasizes the relationship between time dilation and gravitational potential, suggesting that the gradient of this relationship can yield the acceleration due to gravity. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding four-acceleration in Rindler coordinates for comprehending these concepts.
