Summary
Description Ring2Ring Born Chart.png |
English:
This figure depicts a null geodesic arc in the
Born chart
for
Minkowski spacetime
. In this chart, the world lines of
Langevin observers
, who ride on disks rotating with constant angular velocity, appear as vertical lines. The figure shows the world lines (blue vertical lines) of two Langevin observers who are riding on a rotating ring (the rim of a disk, if you like). The axis of cylindrical symmetry is shown as a green vertical line. The cylinder represents a surface of constant radius. The z coordinate is inessential and has been suppressed from this figure.
This particular null geodesic arc represents the world line of a radar blip sent from one ring-riding observer to the other. As the figure shows, this null geodesic (which appears as a straight line in the cylindrical chart ) appears in the Born chart to be bent toward the center. This figure was created by User:Hillman using Maple to export a jpg image and eog to convert this to a png image. |

.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Ring2Ring Born Chart.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva ) does not need the new image name parameter. |
