Special Relativity 13 - Artificial Gravity Provides Hints about Real Gravity Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: Analyzing the artificial gravitational field inside a rotating cylinder to discover hints about the nature of real gravitational fields.
Learning Outcomes: • How to compare relativistic effects of an accelerated observer who is inside the rotating cylinder to observers at rest in the inertial reference frame outside the rotating cylinder. • Understanding that the relative time dilation effect decreases as the rotating observer moves toward the axis of rotation, and how this suggests that a real gravitational field might warp time. • Understanding that the circumference of the cylinder as measured by the rotating observers increases, and how this suggests that a real gravitational field might warp space.
