Science, Paris, 1999, p. 112:
"De plus, si l'on admet que la lumiere est constituee de particules,
comme Einstein l'avait suggere dans son premier article, 13 semaines
plus tot, le second principe parait absurde: une pierre jetee d'un
train qui roule tres vite fait bien plus de degats que si on la jette
d'un train a l'arret. Or, d'apres Einstein, la vitesse d'une certaine
particule ne serait pas independante du mouvement du corps qui l'emet!
Si nous considerons que la lumiere est composee de particules qui
obeissent aux lois de Newton, ces particules se conformeront a la
relativite newtonienne. Dans ce cas, il n'est pas necessaire de
recourir a la contraction des longueurs, au temps local ou a la
transformation de Lorentz pour expliquer l'echec de l'experience de
Michelson-Morley. Einstein, comme nous l'avons vu, resista cependant a
la tentation d'expliquer ces echecs a l'aide des idees newtoniennes,

Question: When was the Principle of Equivalence formalized?
Answer: When Einstein finally understood Newton's law of gravity.
Hey, folks. Don't laugh too much. This joke carries a very deep meaning.
Yes, it shows just how biased and stupid one person can be.
But why do you mention the Principle of Equivalence,
you still haven't understood Special Relativity.
Many people are too dense to see the difference
between the classical equivalence principle of equality
of gravitational mass and inertial mass.
In order to understand the fact that there is no
"gravitational mass", outside Newtonian gravitation,
the logic that represents Einstein's Principle of
Equivalence of surface gravity and acceleration
must be appreciated.
A principle that requires that the Newtonian
term _must_ be identical to inertial mass quantiatively,
because it could not be anything else, is far superior
to just admitting that the two are equal.
Newtonians may have a hard time appreciating
the difference in concepts, because to do so requires
accepting that freefall _is_ inertial motion.
For some people this difference is paramount,
it simplifies physics to an extent never thought of
before Einstein. But for people who can't even
get Special Relativity straight, it is useless to even
try to understand why the complexity of Newtonian
concepts are very unsatisfactory, even though the
math is easy.
The very concept of attractive forces being
involved in gravitation is very damaging to gravitational
physics, and "gravitational mass" is one of the confusing
concepts.
Whatever gravity is, the idea that objects in freefall
could be accelerated by "forces" is so infantile that it
holds back any advances in physics.
But go ahead, continue to show how wrong and
how biased you are, even the willingness to belittle
the work that many thousands of people really believe
is shows a lot about your character and that of the
others that do the same.

Interesting thought! But not so hard for traditional Newtonians: using
Newton's straight line" motion instead of "inertial motion", leaves room for
flexibility of the concept of "inertial motion". Thus they only have to take
the view that inertial motion deviates from straight line motion in a
gravitational field.

Let's try this again.
The Principle of Equivalence suits no useful purpose. Geodesic equations
were developed before Einstein ever heard of Newton. "Entwurf" form of GR
did not go anywhere. GR of 1915 did not even address this principle. If
this principle were never discovered, there is no impact on any discipline
of physics.

This is really comical, I have been reading Einstein
for 65 years, and never focused on the word before.
It seems that all the authors who attempt to
rewrite history have added their biased opinions and
prejudices to what they had simply read about in other
books, or worse yet, made up imaginary events and
fabricated facts without researching the subject.
I found a review of the book on the history
of the mc^2 equation, and found a statement that
Einstein "sent papers" to the journal, which he was
working as a _reviewer_ for, as if he was an unknown
to the publisher.
>GR of 1915 did not even address this principle.
Of course it did, and Einstein even wrote a paper
later to refute the claim by somebody that he had
abandoned the PoE.
Perhaps not all the attempts with Grossman were
as dependent on the PoE, but the PoE is essential to
the external gravitational "field" being a inertial "frame".
And objects in freefall being in inertial motion can
only occur if there is __N O__ "forces" acting, by a "field",
particles or a medium of any kind.
> If this principle were never discovered, there is no impact
>on any discipline of physics.
Einstein's Principle of Equivalence was the start of
a logical theory of gravitation, one that depends on surface
gravity being identical to acceleration, and that _allows_
objects in freefall to be in inertial motion.
You can argue all you want with your sophomore math,
it is totally irrelevant to the question.
If you really want to learn something about gravity,
read the last part of the 1907 paper on the situation of
relativity theory, that is where the PoE first surfaced.
And the 1911 paper then expanded on it and
described some possible experiments to test it.
The equations of motion in inertial frames are
not dependent on the PoE, but in classical physics,
Newtonian physics, the external gravitational field
is not an inertial frame.
Stop thinking of inertial frames as cubical
constructs of "space" or aether, they are not anything
physical, they are just as if they were "invisible lines"
on a drawing, usually represented by draftsmen as
faint dashed lines.
All of General Relativity can be represented by
imagining an "elevator shaft" from the surface upward,
and in that "empty space" objects either "fall" in inertial
motion, or the surface of the Earth accelerates up to
meet them. Take your choice.
The thing about the field equations is that the
volume of the imaginary elevator shaft has to flow
like an imaginary liquid flowing into a smaller and
smaller cross section of a rectangular pipe.
That is the only reason a complex equation
is needed. And this flow must be purely geometrical,
without any of the interactions of the falling objects
with the imaginary fluid or medium.
The problem with doing library research on a
subject without formal guidance is that the student
has to allow their imagination guide them and compete
with logic and factual truth along the way, and that
makes informal study very dangerous if a person stakes
their reputation and character on what they imagine
or add to the subject.

So, in 1944, you finally understood Newton's law of gravity as well. That
does not make you more of an expert in Principle of Equivalence which is
equivalent to Newton's law of gravity.

Please derive the field equations through the Principle of Equivalence,
then.

Again, show me the math of how the derivation of field equations uses this

With Grossmann, Einstein was wasting his time day-dreaming about the joy of
sky-diving. That did not get anywhere. So, he fired Grossmann and seeked
the help of others at Goettingen. PoE is totally useless.

No thanks. I don't have to read about when Einstein started to learn about
Newton's law of graivity. And in 1911, he finally understood it.

In that case, you have to show how the math is different from inertial frame
to inert frame.

I am not. All frames should have the same laws of physics. Isn't that one
of Einstein's postulates? The only good one I am afraid.

Listeining to your babbling without any math backing it up is like going to
a sermon. The math of PoE can be expplained with
m a = - G M m / r^2
Where
** a = acceleartion
** ...
If you know any history, you will find Newton came up with that more than
200 years before Einstein did. Again, you are the one rewriting the
history.

Frankly, clown, I am not sure I had even heard of it
at that time. Maybe I had heard the name, but I don't
remember seeing the formula.
>That does not make you more of an expert in Principle

Wrong. Before age 10, I fully realized how
much gravity and acceleration were alike, and that
it was impossible to tell the effects of one from those
of the other.
I didn't give it much thought until I went on an
amusement park ride in 1944 where a metal cage
rotated and acceleration (centrifugal force) held
the riders against the vertical "wall" in spite of gravity.
A simple thought "now what could be the cause
of gravity" returned the answer "surface gravity _is_
acceleration".
Field theory, field equations, even inertial motion
is not needed for surface gravity, all that is needed is
for the surface of the Earth to be accelerating upward. :-)

There are two aspects to the PoE, the inertial
motion part, and the surface gravity part.
It appears that Einstein went with the inertial
motion part, and the difficulty of making inertial motion
_cause_ changes in motion of free moving objects is
a real bummer, he had to resort to complex mathematics.

But they do modify inertial motion paths to conform
to some formula that resembles "field interaction".
The motion of objects in free motion in a better
theory of gravity must be much less complex, gravity
should not be an "interaction".
Gravity should definitely _not_ be an attractive
force, hence gravity should not be Newtonian.

No, I am defending the formal approach chosen
by Einstein as the only one he could take.
And he did continue to think of the surface
accelerating upward, even though it may not be
evident in the math.
And some physicists still think about the surface
accelerating upward, the imaginary event horizon of
a black hole is best viewed as accelerating upward
and outward from the center of mass.

The PoE is like a devil's advocate, it should be
implemented in a thought experiment both to check
concepts and to originate new concepts.
Motion in free space is not Newtonian, and this
is clearly illustrated in the treatment of a cloud of test
particles, either in gravity free space, or in the presence
of gravity.

It was probably Grossmann and Minkowski that
prompted Einstein to think less of the PoE and more
about abstract mathematics.

Many people do not see the importance of the PoE,
many do not even see the difference between Einstein's
PoE and the age old equivalence principle.

No, Newtonian math requires forces described
as a gravity field. How could an attractive field be

by damaging the image of another person.
The PoE will come back, it is the only logical
thought in the whole process.
And there are two parts to the PoE, the external

Only in 4-D spacetime stupid. But to accept that you must be able to
observe it, since, (I wonder if you know that), sceince rests on
empirical measurements. I don't know of one "Newtonian" who managed to
find himself in a 4-D spacetime and confirm your dilussions and
crackpot assesments.
Do you want to get a good feel of what free fall looks like?

Th eonly thing that is damaging to physics and its progress is cranks

theories like GR.

Listen crank, the idea that free falling objects are accelerated by
forces naturally follows from the second law of Newton, which you do
not understand, neither Einstein did. If a change in the state of
motion requires a force to be applied, and in addition the second law
has withstand the empirical tests of science and time, then it is only
natual to extend this to motion caused by gravitational interaction and
theorize gravity forces.
This was a major breakthrough in science. The real hold back came when
one crank ("Dr" Al) wanted to steal the glory of Newton and masturbated
with the definitions calling free fall inertial motion.
GR is the most absurd theory, a real crackpot stuff, and in a few years
it will be history and not even mentioned in footnotes, the fate of the
vortex theory.
Nevertheless, you do not seem to understand GR anyway. Free fall is
inertial motion in GR only locally. What "locally" means is very
dubious. "Locally" usually means the region of space-time where
free-fall is inertial motion.

Opposite? If you can't keep up with the discussion,
ask your mommy what was said.
I take Bilge's word for it that KW does not do some
of the SR math correctly, Bilge has accelerator experience,
and Einstein's Principle of Equivalence is the principle that
says a room on the surface of Earth is identical to a room
accelerated in space far from other matter.
I hope that isn't too difficult for you.

If you turn an F-16 upside down on the ground,

Right, but your opinions are controlled by a biased,
facitious mind. And ll Newtonian measurements are
biased and frame dependent.

I don't know of one Newtonian/antirelativist that

It probably isn't possible for an anti-relativist to

I don't base my claims on GR, but GR is a good
step in the right direction to begin a clear understanding
gravity and kinematics in it's presence.

If any of the nutcases here had one percent the

another role playing game chat room.

A change in apparent motion may not be a change
in motion. An accelerometer is the only good judge of
a change in motion, assuming a change in motion is
a departure from inertial motion.
Try to learn what inertial motion means, it is not
what Newton restricts it to.

Only for biased minds. There are no forces
that could possibly do what gravity does.

No, it was a great tool for engineers to use, it was
a setback to gravitational physics.

He knew what an accelerometer is and what it
reads in freefall.
Only a dummy would think that accelerometers
read correctly in some orientations and not in others.

I have never claimed I do, I do understand gravity

Only because the results have to be translated

Good boy. Because gravity causes acceleration, as Newton showed long
time ago:
F = dp/dt = GMm'/r^2 (simple form of law of universal gravitation, m'
= grav. mass)
or
m dv/dt = GMm'/r^2 or dv/dt = GM/r^2
Whoever thinks that Einstein discovered the marvelous fact that gravity
and acceleration "are alike", is a stupid idiot and a crank. Just look
at the equation above.
All these stupid terms you mention are word games used to pass the
hidden agenda of GR which amongst other things is a purely geometrical
theory of gravitation. It attempts to refute:
1) Euclidean concepts. which are based common sense
2) Newton and Galileo, whose theories are based succesful inductive
generalizations
3) Lorentz and Poincare, two of the greatest minds.
and steal the fame of those people who were the real pioneers. The
history of science is full of attempts to plagiarize major discoveries
and that has happened to a large extent with some works of ancients but
in this case it was a total failure.
History cannot be rewritten, although holywood tries hard.
You are waisting your time, if that is your intention, although I think
you are just mislead.

No it doesn't, that is a biased view, based on
a biased obvservation.
Your biased viewpoint is "gravity is what pulls
things down", my viewpoint is "gravity is what I feel".
>as Newton showed long time ago:
Newton fabricated a formula to make gravity
conform to his mechanics, and his mechanics was
substantially based on the work of Galileo in his
study of gravity.

Inventing an imaginary attribute of mass is not
physics, Einstein corrected that by declaring the
Principle of Equivalence that produces the outcome
that gravitational mass is nothing but the inertial mass.
Some Newtonians are so brainwashed about
"force" that they use F when it even requires on or
two extra steps in calculations.
This extra work can be avoided by simply using
a for acceleration instead.
>or
>
>m dv/dt = GMm'/r^2 or dv/dt = GM/r^2
Which gives "space" an attribute of length,
width or depth.
A physicist likes to be able to work with things
that can be measured, space cannot be measured.
>Whoever thinks that Einstein discovered the marvelous fact that gravity
>and acceleration "are alike", is a stupid idiot and a crank. Just look
>at the equation above.
You look at them, you had to insert an imaginary
"force" acting in the first instance to get the same result
as eliminating the "gravitational mass' in the second instant.
The only thing the F is good for in the formula
is to perpetuate the Newtonian concept, call it
"continuing brainwashing".
>All these stupid terms you mention
The only stupid term are "force of gravity"
and "gravitational mass".
>are word games used to pass the
>hidden agenda of GR
Nonsense, a few liberal radicals with a bizarre
form of dementia think the entire physics community
is pushing a "hidden agenda".
The nutcases here are pathetic, arguing that
essentially all the many thousands of scientists are
either brainwashed or leading an agenda to promote
Einstein as a great scientist.
>which amongst other things is a purely geometrical
>theory of gravitation.
Exactly, which is the only thing the external
gravitational "field"' can be.
"Spacetime" is obviously an imaginary reference
system used to implement a mathematical treatment
of "observed" motion without the complicating use
of an inmaginary and fictituous "force" acting.
>It attempts to refute:
>1) Euclidean concepts. which are based common sense
Which have no validity whatsoever, space has
no attributes.
>2) Newton and Galileo, whose theories are based succesful inductive
>generalizations
Based only on biased observation, producing
a system of mechanics and gravitation that is simple
to work with, an engineer's dream, a physicist's
nightmare.
>3) Lorentz and Poincare, two of the greatest minds.
But not in the same class as Planck, Rutherford,
or Einstein.
>and steal the fame of those people who were the real pioneers.
"Saying "on the shoulders of giants" is not stealing
fame, it is a humble tribute to them.
>The
>history of science is full of attempts to plagiarize major discoveries
Nonsense, any scientist who might have tried
was surely shunned by all others.
>and that has happened to a large extent with some works

You are hallucinating. Is there a reason
for this dementia, were you disappointed in not
getting something you think you deserved?
>History cannot be rewritten, although holywood tries hard.
A lot of confused minds are trying, for the
sole reason of trying to make themselves look
better than those they are willing to damage.

I am glad you said "think I am mislead", at least
you may have a chance to see that you might be wrong.

You mean it isn't because of the spinning?
The new gravity anomaly where the earthquake

doesn't that go against your theory?
