Antisemitic ramblings against Einstein
On May 17, 9:04*am, "Androcles"
*Spacetime is curved so the Earth travels in a straight line in spacetime, no acceleration or GR needed. So, now, why won't *you* answer *my* question, you ignorant anti-Celtic Jewish *******? Wow! I didn't know that you were a Geocentrist! Have you ever talked to Tony Pagano? The earth is a massive body generating a gravitational field. Therefore, it warps the space time. Objects on the surface of the earth are in a region of space that have a slight curvature. Objects on the surface of the earth are under the influence of contact forces that keep them from falling. Therefore, they are not truly in free fall. Therefore, their world lines are not perfectly straight. So objects on the surface of the earth are undergoing an acceleration relative to the free fall (i.e., straight world line) condition. These features don't make a difference for most relativistic experiments. They could not affect the Michaelson Morley experiment, for instance. However, they cause an effective centripetal acceleration that is measured in a number of experiments. The Foucault pendulum and the Sagnac interferometer have both been used to measure the centripetal acceleration of objects on the surface of the earth. Very often, the result is expressed as an "effective velocity" of the earths motion. This is a derived quantity with units of velocity that actually characterize centripetal acceleration. Furthermore, the sun and the center of the galaxy both generate a gravitational field. So earth is in a region of space that has a slight curvature due to the mass of these objects. |
