A Modest Remark about Reichenbach, Rotation, and General Relativity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 2022
Abstract
An interesting difficulty arises if one tries to reconcile Reichenbach's views about “absolute“ rotation in general relativity with his commitment to a “causal theory of space-time structure.” This difficulty is made precise in the form of a simple theorem about relativistic space-time geometry.
