- We have two identical point masses, they are moving in uniform circular motion and in the same plane.
- Both masses are 180 degrees out of phase, they are always on opposite ends of their circular path.
-The "orbit" radii for both masses are the same.We consider only SR effects, no GR.Now we transform to another inertial frame that is moving parallel to the plane of the masses' orbits.
Is the total energy (γm0c2) of both masses in the second frame constant over time?
