Hello guys , beside Einstein's General Theory of Relativity by hervik , is there any lecture or book about this case ?


Thx
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I think MTW talks about junction conditions, not positive it's the same thing, but it's likely.
 
The original article is pretty good, although difficult to find. Go check the archives in your local science department library.

Most of the material is also covered in these notes: http://www.physics.uoguelph.ca/poisson/research/agr.pdf
 
Thank you very much clamtrox
 
I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
Thread 'Relativity of simultaneity in actuality'
I’m attaching two figures from the book, Basic concepts in relativity and QT, by Resnick and Halliday. They are describing the relativity of simultaneity from a theoretical pov, which I understand. Basically, the lightning strikes at AA’ and BB’ can be deemed simultaneous either in frame S, in which case they will not be simultaneous in frame S’, and vice versa. Only in one of the frames are the two events simultaneous, but not in both, and this claim of simultaneity can be done by either of...
