A recap of the main points so far…
Observers moving uniformly with respect to each other
• do not agree on time intervals or distance intervals
• do not agree about the simultaneity or otherwise of events
A moving clock appears to run slow – time dilation
A moving ruler appears short – length contraction
•A moving object has an increased relativistic mass
•Mass can be converted into energy (and vice-versa)
E = m c2

Symmetry
As far as the observer on the spaceship is concerned, a clock left on Earth is running slow and lengths are contracted in the direction of motion.

The frames of reference are equivalent?

The Equivalence Principle
No difference between a steady acceleration and a gravitational field

Gravity and Acceleration cannot be distinguished

Equivalence principle – this situation should be the same

Corrections to GPS
Orbital radius 26,000 km
gh/c2 = 0.0000000026
Clocks “on the ground” would lose about 0.2 ms per day (actually a bit less).
Clocks on the GPS satellites run intentionally slowly!
