Special Relativity 14 - The Curved Geometry of a Rotating Space Speaker(s): Richard Epp
Abstract: The spacetime diagram of a rotating Bob is analyzed, leading us to conclude that his spatial geometry is curved.
Learning Outcomes: • Understanding the physical effects of the rotation on the rotating observers, metal panels of the cylinder and so forth. • Understanding the properties of a rotating cylinder using a spacetime diagram. • Understanding curved spaces: The negatively curved space of a rotating observer and the positively curved space representing the real gravitational field of the Sun.
