چکیده
We outline a new and simple development of special and general relativity based on the physical meaning of the spacetime interval. The Lorentz transformation is not used.

متن کاملIntroduction to Tensor Calculus for General Relativity
There are three essential ideas underlying general relativity (GR). The first is that spacetime may be described as a curved, four-dimensional mathematical structure called a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. In brief, time and space together comprise a curved fourdimensional non-Euclidean geometry. Consequently, the practitioner of GR must be familiar with the fundamental geometrical properties of c...
متن کاملComputation of Lyapunov Exponents in General Relativity
Lyapunov exponents (LEs) are key indicators of chaos in dynamical systems. In general relativity the classical definition of LE meets difficulty because it is not coordinate invariant and spacetime coordinates lose their physical meaning as in Newtonian dynamics. We propose a new definition of relativistic LE and give its algorithm in any coordinate system, which represents the observed changin...
متن کاملThe Accurate Tests of General Relativity Verified Flat Spacetime —-flat-spacetime Covariant Gravity, Its Quantization and Solar Application
Only when space is flat does there exist one coordinate system which has direct meaning of distances or angles, and if one coordinate system has direct meaning of distances or angles then the space must be flat. This is the famous Riemann theorem when he pioneered the concept of curved space. General relativity (GR) claims curved spacetime. However, when testing GR with data, all relativists co...
متن کاملDesperately Seeking Curved-spacetime — Turn to Experimental Resolution?
Gravity whose nature is fundamental to the understanding of solar system, galaxies and the structure and evolution of the Universe, is theorized by the assumption of curved spacetime, according to Einstein , s general theory of relativity (EGR). Particles which experience gravity only, move on curved spacetime along straight lines (geodesics). The geodesics are determined by curved-spacetime me...
