Re: Equivalence principle

A tall elevator cabin is in free fall. In this cabin, pressure of gaseous body is different (because value g is different). Equivalence principle will be wrong.

Re: Equivalence principle

An elevator cabin is accelerating upward. With the roof, a small body collided (came vertically). And after 10 seconds, a second body (the same mass) collided (came vertically also). This situation will not be the same to an elevator in gravitational field (at a standstill).
- P.S.- Some books today say that accelerated motion is not relative.

Re: Equivalence principle

"Accelerated motion is not relative". It’s a subheading of a book (in Japanese). Yes, time dilation in gravitational field is written to be real (one sided ; not relative). But in many books, it seems to be written that "accelerated motion is relative"

Re: Equivalence principle

“Accelerated motion is not relative”, ”Equivalence of every frame including accelerated frame”

The two above seem to be inconsistent. These are subheading of books (in Japanese ; published in 1998 and 1999).

Re: Equivalence principle

On a point mass, inertial force acts only in one direction always. Gravity isn’t so. Equivalence principle will be wrong.

Under every situation, the law of universal gravitation will act.
