On the Ontology of Spacetime in a Frame of Reference
The spacetime ontology is considered in General Relativity (GR) in view of the choice of a frame of reference (FR). Various approaches to a description of the FR, such as coordinate systems, monads and tetrads are reviewed. It is shown that any of the existing FR definitions require a preexisting background spacetime, which, if defined independently of the FR, renders the spacetime absolute in ...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant Problem and Quantum Spacetime Reference Frame
We generalize the idea of quantum clock time to quantum spacetime reference frame via physical realization of a reference system by quantum rulers and clocks. Omitting the internal degrees of freedom (such as spins) of the physical rulers and clocks, only considering their metric properties, the spacetime reference frame is described by a bosonic non-linear sigma model. We study the quantum beh...
متن کاملTransforming Geocentric Cartesian Coordinates to Geodetic Coordinates by a New Initial Value Calculation Paradigm
Transforming geocentric Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z) to geodetic curvilinear coordinates (φ, λ, h) on a biaxial ellipsoid is one of the problems used in satellite positioning, coordinates conversion between reference systems, astronomy and geodetic calculations. For this purpose, various methods including Closed-form, Vector method and Fixed-point method have been developed. In this paper, a...
متن کاملSymmetry-seeking spacetime coordinates
One of the fundamental problems in numerically constructing spacetimes without symmetries (3D numerical relativity) is the choice of suitable coordinates. The task is not just to find a good coordinate system for a known spacetime, but the spacetime is not actually known when the calculation begins, so that one has to construct the coordinate system along with the spacetime. In principle, once ...
متن کاملSchwarzschild Spacetime without Coordinates
We discuss how to construct the full Schwarzschild (Kruskal-Szekeres) spacetime in one swoop by using the bundle of orthonormal Lorentz frames and the Einstein equation without the use of coordinates. We never have to write down the Kruskal-Szekeres or an equivalent form of the metric. email: [email protected]
