2 T. Suntola, PIRT XI, London, 1-15 September, 8 On board of Galileo ship Newtonian space defines no limits to space or physical quantities; - the velocity of an object increases linearly under the influence of a constant force - the state of rest is inseparable from the state of rectilinear motion dp F= = m a dt time c velocity kinetic energy ( v) dx v v v d m Ekin = dx= m d = m v dv= ½mv dt v dt c velocity

3 T. Suntola, PIRT XI, London, 1-15 September, 8 3 From Galileo ship to space craft Relativistic space: - increase of velocities are limited to the velocity of light which breaks the linear linkage between force to acceleration time v' dp F= = m a dt F' Rectilinear dp = = dt m ( 1 β ) 3 a c velocity Ekin = ½mv 1 Ekin = mc 1 = c Δm 1 v c kinetic energy c velocity

4 T. Suntola, PIRT XI, London, 1-15 September, 8 4 From Galileo ship to space craft Relativistic space: - increase of velocities are limited to the velocity of light which breaks the linear linkage between force to acceleration Mathematical description (SR): redefinition of coordinate quantities: dt ' = dt 1 β dr ' dr 1 β β = = vc time v' dp F= = m a dt F' Rectilinear dp = = dt m ( 1 β ) 3 a c velocity Ekin = ½mv 1 Ekin = mc 1 c m = Δ v 1 c kinetic energy c velocity

5 T. Suntola, PIRT XI, London, 1-15 September, 8 5 Gravitation in modified coordinates via equivalence principle Schwarzschild solution of GR field equations: dr ' = dr 1 β dr ' = dr GM 1 rc GM β ff ( Newton) = rc ct ds ϕ dϕ r' ds r' β ff= v ff /c dt ' = dt 1 β GM dt ' = dt 1 β rc M β ff ( Newton ) 1 β The (coordinate) velocity of free fall in Schwarzschild space goes to zero at the critical radius r ( ) c Schwd GM = c.5 β ff, Schwarzschild r GM c

6 T. Suntola, PIRT XI, London, 1-15 September, 8 6 In search of fundamental physical limits In his lectures on gravitation in early 196 s Richard Feynman [1] stated: If now we compare the total gravitational energy GM Σ /R to the total rest energy of the universe, M Σ c, lo and behold, we get the amazing result that GM Σ /R = M Σ c, so that the total energy of the universe is zero Why this should be so is one of the great mysteries and therefore one of the important questions of physics. and further []...One intriguing suggestion is that the universe has a structure analogous to that of a spherical surface... It might be that our three-dimensional space is such a thing, a tridimensional surface of a four sphere
