Since no force is acting on an object in free-fall,       the proper acceleration of the satellite is zero.              According to GR the proper acceleration of an object on the ground       is 9.81 m/s² upwards.              In GR, the acceleration is what an accelerometer shows.       An accelerometer in free-fall will show zero acceleration,       an accelerometer on the ground will show 9.81 m/s² acceleration       upwards.              Why do you think accelerometers show what GR says,       and not what your common sense say it should show?              Could it be that GR is more in accordance with       the laws of nature than is your prejudiced common sense?                     --       Paul              https://paulba.no/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
