Therefore there is <b>NO</b> difference in the two situations; gravity <b>IS</b> uniform acceleration. We shall investigate how space and time must be curved in order for this truth to hold.<br /><br />There are many more details, of course, but that is the essence of the General Theory in plain English.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574355302581451838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-70014996944770849872011-01-09T12:49:00.808-05:002011-01-09T12:49:00.808-05:00Link in the first sentence has been corrected.

By Frank's standards of logic, evidence, and ethics, this piece is very positive.<br /><br />But then Frank has devoted his life to the intellectual equivalent of standing up with his pants still down and shrieking, "Mommy! Mommy! Look at the poopies I made!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
