Is distance A to B = distance B to A? by rotchm@yahoo.com Consider the standard ( 1 dim ) Cartesian coordinate system and its concept of position (which is just a selection of an element of the set of reals). Distance in this case... ( 1 2)	January 10th 05 by Bilge	19	20
What is the distance to a black hole? by Dr. Photon TR wrote "Well, "short" is a matter of details. For instance, in a flat manifold and a ship accelerating at 1 g, that "short" distance is about 1 lightyear(!)." Doh! This...	January 10th 05 by Ahmed Ouahi, Architect	5	6
Derivation of Lorentz Transf in vector form (2nd attempt) by Zinc Potterman Thanks to Bill for the pointer to http://www.cse.secs.oakland.edu/haskell/SpecialRelativity.htm in previous post of this problem, but I'm afraid I couldn't follow it. As...	January 10th 05 by Zinc Potterman	0	2
expanding universe / energy question by DavidBowman What's wrong with this picture (because something is, and I sure as hell don't know what): 1) The expansion of the universe puts extra space between objects...	January 10th 05 by DavidBowman	9	10
much crazier ether theories by shevek If you troll this newsgroup for crazy ideas about "ether", take a look at http://www.ethericwarriors.com (warning: no physics) Sorry, was this physics.relativity or...	January 10th 05 by shevek	2	7
d: clash of the titans by DavidBowman Bilge was explaining to me how photons can interfere wwith themselves, even though they don't change or have a frequency, which is is WAY counterintuitive. As I was rying to... ( 1 2 3)	January 9th 05 by reany@asu.edu	28	29
Summation notation and tensors by Zinc Potterman I am trying to learn relativity using D'Inverno's book and it's really mind boggling, especially now I am able to appreciate more of the maths, but have hit tensors which i...	January 9th 05 by Ken S. Tucker	3	6

Derivation of Lorentz Transf in vector form by Zinc Potterman I'm after a derivation of LT's in vector form. I've searched lots of SR websites but most go off into tensors which I haven't learnt yet. (Book in the post) r' = r + v I...	January 8th 05 by Zinc Potterman	2	3
