The set of all possible frames
How is the set of all possible frames defined? Starting with a given
frame, could you define all other possible frames in terms of a velocity (direction and speed)? Or could you define all other frames in terms of a velocity and an acceleration? Or... What set of frames are NORMALLY considered in the space-time continuum? Are any theoretical frames debated? Steven

"All possible frames" would include frames with all possible motions, not just those with constant velocity or constant acceleration. What set of frames are NORMALLY considered in the space-time continuum? Whichever ones are convenient to the problem at hand. Are any theoretical frames debated? I don't know what you mean.

The set of all possible frames
I think I see now.
Any frame can be defined in terms of some form of motion within another frame. The parameters would include 1. Base frame 2. Motion If you have clearly defined the relationship between frame A and frame B, and between frame B and frame C, Can you always determine the relationship between frame A and frame C? I would assume the answer is yes.
