I am looking for the proof of delta variation of determinant of metric but still I find difficulty ? Can I get the full proof here
 
Physics news on Phys.org
See e.g. Inverno's textbook on GR, chapter 7.3. But I'm afraid that if you don't give any background, people will not answer your question. This forum is not the physics equivalent of McDonalds.
 
if you please upload the section/book that will be a great help

This might also be a good time to mention the Physics Forums rule about copyright violations.

We can help you understand a topic, but you'll have to meet us halfway. You said you're having difficulty - how far in did you get before you got stuck? What books or other resources have you been studying from and what is your starting point?

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread '1-Way Speed of Light'

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...

Thread 'How can a black hole absorb matter?'

According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
