Say there are three points: Point #1, Point #2, and Point #3. Say Point #2 is being observed by both Point #1 and Point #3. Given the Schwarzschild spacetime geometry below, ** c^2 (1 - 2 U) dt^2 - dr^2 / (1 - 2 U) - r^2 dO^2 Where ** U = G M / c^2 / r ** dO^2 = cos^2(Latitude) dLongitude^2 + dLatitude^2 How do you write an equation to include both Point #1 and Point #2 relating the spacetime geometry at Point #2? Would the one below be correct? ** c^2 (1 - 2 U_2) dt_1^2 - dr_12^2 / (1 - 2 U_2) - r_12^2 dO_12^2 = c^2 (1 - 2 U_2) dt3^2 - dr_32^2 / (1 - 2 U_2) - r^32^2 dO_32^2 Where ** U_2 = Gravitational potential at Point #2 ** r_12 = displacement from Point #1 to Point #2, etc. |
