Summary
edit
| Description |
English: This animation shows simultaneous views of a ball tossed up and then caught by a ferris wheel rider from one inertial and two non-inertial points of view. Although Newton's predictions are easier to track from the inertial point of view, it turns out that they still work locally in accelerated frames and curved spacetime if we consider "geometric accelerations and forces" that act on every ounce of an object's being and can be made to disappear by a suitable vantage point change. |
