نویسنده
چکیده
The conventional nature of synchronisation is discussed in inertial frames, where it is found that theories using different synchronisations are experimentally equivalent to special relativ-ity. In contrary, in accelerated systems only a theory maintaining an absolute simultaneity is consistent with the natural behaviour of clocks. The principle of equivalence is discussed, and it is found that any synchronisation can be used locally in a freely falling frame. Whatever the choosen synchronisation, the first derivatives of the metric tensor disapear and a geodesic is locally a straight line. But it is shown that only a synchronisation maintaining an absolute simultaneity allows to define time consistently on circular orbits of a Schwarzschild metric.

We respond to a recent paper by Rindler on the " Anti–Machian " nature of the Lense–Thirring effect. We remark that his conclusion depends crucially on the particular formulation of Mach's principle used.

We present an exact solution to the problem of the relativistic motion of 2 point masses in (1 + 1) dimensional dilaton gravity. The motion of the bodies is governed entirely by their mutual gravitational influence, and the spacetime metric is likewise fully determined by their stress-energy. A Newtonian limit exists, and there is a static gravitational potential. Our solution gives the exact H...
