Unlike circular orbits, however, the speed of the particles in elliptic or hyperbolic trajectories is not constant. We therefore do not have a constant speed with which to scale the curvature. Therefore, in anticipation of the transition to relativistic mechanics, the trajectories and curvatures are scaled with the 6231: 4046:{\displaystyle {\begin{Vmatrix}{\mathcal {M}}_{1}^{1}&{\mathcal {M}}_{1}^{2}&{\mathcal {M}}_{1}^{3}\\{\mathcal {M}}_{2}^{1}&{\mathcal {M}}_{2}^{2}&{\mathcal {M}}_{2}^{3}\\{\mathcal {M}}_{3}^{1}&{\mathcal {M}}_{3}^{2}&{\mathcal {M}}_{3}^{3}\end{Vmatrix}}={\begin{Vmatrix}1&0&0\\0&\cos(\theta )&\sin(\theta )\\0&-\sin(\theta )&\cos(\theta )\end{Vmatrix}}} 2795: 6427: 4345:
world line (deviation from being vertical) is the velocity of the particle on that section of the world line. So at a bend in the world line the particle is being accelerated. Note how the view of spacetime changes when the observer accelerates, changing the instantaneous inertial frame of reference. These changes are governed by the Lorentz transformations. Also note that:

In an arbitrarily rotating spacecraft, the curvature of space is due to two terms, one due to the mass density and one due to the arbitrary rotation of the spacecraft. The arbitrary rotation is non-physical and must be eliminated in any real physical theory of gravitation. In General Relativity this

For the observer's current instantaneous inertial frame of reference, the vertical direction indicates the time and the horizontal direction indicates distance. The slope of the

In the case that the separation of the particle is radial, the curvature is negative. This will cause the particles to separate rather than to be drawn toward each other as in the case in which they have the same radius. This is easy to understand. Outer orbits travel slower than inner orbits. This

The geodesic and field equations simply are a restatement of Newton's Law of Gravitation as seen from a local frame of reference co-moving with the mass within the local frame. This picture contains many of the elements of General Relativity, including the concept that particles travel along

A unique feature of the gravitational force is that all massive objects accelerate in the same manner in a gravitational field. This is often expressed as "The gravitational mass is equal to the inertial mass." This allows us to think of gravity as a curvature of
