How did you find PF?
I was looking for opinions on how acceleration plays a role in relativistic effects (unrelated to gravity), for example time dilation of two low mass objects accelerating in a vacuum.
I am a math PhD working in software/technology who is a physics hobbyist. I’ve gone through MIT 8.01 - 8.05 courses and watched and worked through a number of additional videos and problems. My interest is mostly getting exposure to more ideas through the community. I don’t plan on trying to unify physics or explain the causes of QM or relativity :). However, it’s a very interesting subject and I just like to learn in small amounts at the periphery of my current understanding.
