162. To Understand Relativity
The fundamentals of relativity (light speed constancy, time dilation and length contraction) are not mysteries. They can be explained easily, so that everyone can understand relativity.
http://membres.lycos.fr/bvr/relativ.html
TO UNDERSTAND RELATIVITY
You are travelling in a rocket at 200,000 km/sec, and you send, in your movement's direction, a projectile that, seen from the earth, propagates at 250,000 km/sec.
Does it mean that, if you measure the speed of the projectile from the rocket, your measures will give 50,000 km/sec?
It's not sure at all.
To calculate the speed of the projectile, that is the distance covered by unit of time, you will have to use some instruments to measure the distance (a ruler) and the time (a clock).
Let's take a simple clock, made of a light ray going on and back between two mirrors, distant of 1.5 meter. One second corresponds to 100,000,000 rebounds.
You install this clock in the rocket so that the light ray propagates perpendicularly to the rocket's trajectory.
For the ruler, it's a little more complicate, since the projectile moves outside the rocket.
You find the following solution: before sending the projectile, you send a mirror (M) provided with a small motor before the rocket. You follow the progression of the mirror with the help of a light signal. When the signal will take 1/3 second to go to the mirror and come back, you will know that the mirror will be at 50,000 km. 1/6 of second before this moment, you send a signal starting the motor of the mirror in order to stop it (we suppose the motor reacts instantaneously).
Then you control that the mirror remains stationary at this distance.

  • 166. Ricci: A Mathematica Package For Doing Tensor Calculations In Differential Geome
    A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry and general relativity.
    http://www.math.washington.edu/~lee/Ricci/
    Ricci
    A Mathematica package for doing tensor calculations in differential geometry
    Version 1.37
    Last Updated November 12, 2002 Ricci is a Mathematica package for doing symbolic tensor computations that arise in differential geometry. It has the following features and capabilities:
    • Manipulation of tensor expressions with and without indices Implicit use of the Einstein summation convention Correct manipulation of dummy indices Display of results in mathematical notation, with upper and lower indices Automatic calculation of covariant derivatives Automatic application of tensor symmetries Riemannian metrics and curvatures Differential forms Any number of vector bundles with user-defined characteristics Names of indices indicate which bundles they refer to Complex bundles and tensors Conjugation indicated by barred indices Connections with and without torsion
    Limitations: Ricci currently does not support computation of explicit values for tensor components in coordinates, or derivatives of tensors depending on parameters (as in geometric evolution equations or calculus of variations), although support for these is planned for a future release. Ricci also has no explicit support for general relativity, or for other mathematical physics or engineering applications, and none is planned. If you are interested in such support, I recommend that you consider the commercial package MathTensor, which is far more extensive than Ricci, and provides all these capabilities and more. MathTensor is available from

    Programme theme
    General relativity has been around for a long time as a physical theory and an object of mathematical study. It was a subject of intense interest in the 1960’s and 1970’s when advances included the discovery of the Kerr solution, the study of black holes and singularity theorems and the introduction of asymptopia as a framework for studying asymptotic properties, including gravitational radiation. At the same time there were many mathematical problems which resisted mathematical analysis. In recent years there have been significant advances in our understanding of the topological, geometrical and PDE aspects of general relativity and progress is once again becoming rapid. New results are being obtained, and older results re-proved in greater generality. This programme will be structured around four themes:
  • Elliptic aspects of general relativity: new methods of solving the constraint equations, developments from the solution of the Riemannian Penrose inequality, the study of static and stationary solutions including black holes.

    Example codes
    The purpose of this repository is to show compact examples of the kind of codes that we develop in Numerical Relativity. Because of their complexity, the full Einstein Equations take much more work (check the H3expresso code ), but the basic ideas and coding paradims can be found here. Over time, more codes will be available here. Currently, there is only one (transport in 3D).

    B.Tech Seminar Report on A Study of a model Cosmology Submitted for the partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Technology by More Surhud Shrikant under the guidance of Prof. Urjit A. Yajnik (Department of Physics) Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Bombay November 17, 2003
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in Cosmology have taken us closer to understand our Universe better. We study preliminary General relativity and its application to Cosmology. Initially we develop the background for the Friedmann models and analyse their behaviour. Later we modify them to incorporate recent observations from the Cosmic Background Explorer(COBE), Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Supernova Cosmology Project and Hi-z Supernova project. We also examine the possibility of stringy matter as being a part of our Universe motivated by particle physics considerations and as a possible explanation for the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays.

    The time delay of radar reflections off of Mercury
    installation 1995
    For Folks
    It takes a few minutes for light to get to Mercury from Earth, but it takes a little longer due to the Sun. Radar signals from the Haystack Observatory in Westford Massachusetts were sent out into space to bounce off Mercury. The time the radar signals spent flying between the two planets was carefully measured. As the radar's path in space moved closer to the Sun, a small time delay grew in the radar reflections which is given by equations in the big, black book (Gravitation, by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler). Written in chalk is the artist's method to calculate the time delay. The tools used come directly from quantum mechanics which is not supposed to be an aid for such a calculation. Yet the results are the same (equation 40.13).
    For Nerds
    Irwin I. Shapiro measured the time delay of radar reflections off Mercury caused by the gravitational field of the Sun. The logarithmic dependence on the impact parameter confirmed general relativity's prediction. The Lorentz group will be employed for a similar end. The gravitational fields for a bound test mass are characterized by a member of the Lorentz group in the following manner: take the Newtonian orbital velocity

    Unified Theory of Everything , includes Light, Gravity, Time, and relativity.
    http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/2382
    Anthropic Principle and the Theory of Everything
    -But what about the hole that the "hole" left behind? Particle theory says that for every fermion type there is another fermion type that has exactly the same mass, and therefore no priori distinction between matter and anti-matter. Dirac's "Sea of Electrons" was dismissed as implausible for this reason, but the opposite value of all other charges (quantum numbers), indicates that the asymmetry between the two classes of particles is due to the fact that the anti-particle, (the "hole"), has -rho and negative mass, until it becomes a real particle. Abstract: The "Entropic Constant" produces the proverbial Theory of Everything once the Anthropic Principle is understood by way of the thermodynamic algorithm that gives rise to the history of man. The process exposes a grand scale cosmic coincidence which is otherwise known as "Punctuated Equilibria", that gets revealed at the universal level by way of the correct application of Dirac's Equation to this thermodynamic phenomenon as it applies to Particle Physics. The GUT then falls out of the ToE once the actual physics of " The -1th Law " of Thermodynamics is produced by this physics. The following is condensed from articles taken from the physicist moderated research group
