The discussion focuses on finding resources that explain electromagnetism (E&M) in curved space-time. Recommended texts include "Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity" by John Baez, "Gravitation" by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler (MTW), and "General Relativity" by Wald, all of which address Maxwell's equations in curved contexts. An online Wikipedia link is also provided, detailing Maxwell's equations in both differential forms and traditional formulations. The participants express gratitude for the suggestions and indicate a willingness to explore the recommended materials. Overall, the thread serves as a resource-sharing platform for studying E&M in curved space-time.

SR can be used to describe E&M in a local inertial frame, can anyone tell me a book or paper, that describes E&M in a curved space-time? Thank you in advanced

Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity by John Baez. I think.
 
i have both those books ill look into them thank you
 

Thread 'EPR revisited'

In an inertial frame of reference (IFR), there are two fixed points, A and B, which share an entangled state $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0>_A|1>_B+|1>_A|0>_B) $$ At point A, a measurement is made. The state then collapses to $$ |a>_A|b>_B, \{a,b\}=\{0,1\} $$ We assume that A has the state ##|a>_A## and B has ##|b>_B## simultaneously, i.e., when their synchronized clocks both read time T However, in other inertial frames, due to the relativity of simultaneity, the moment when B has ##|b>_B##...
