General relativity uses concepts of proper time and coordinate time. They are defined using clocks.Chalnoth said:Nope. Not at all necessary. Now, when you actually perform a measurement you have to use some sort of physical system. But there is no such construct within General Relativity itself. As I mentioned, there are neither clocks nor rulers in most space-times commonly used in GR.
Or what do you mean?
Not sure that I understand.
