Natural Science Forum / Physics / Particle Physics / September 2006Particle Accelaration and Equivilent Gravity
If acceleration and gravity are equivilent for "some" descriptive equations of GR, then is it correct to state that, a highly accelerated particle, is really a gravited particle? Particles accelerated to close to light speed gain Mass, thus gain Gravity. Or is it taht Mass and Gravity are equivilent at light velocities? > If acceleration and gravity are equivilent for "some" descriptive > equations of GR, then is it correct to state that, a highly accelerated > particle, is really a gravited particle?

No. What it means is that someone performing experiments can't tell the difference *locally* between conducting those experiments in a gravitational field and conducting those experiments in an accelerated reference frame. The accelerator operator is not in an accelerated frame of reference. He can certainly tell the difference between a particle being gravitated and one that is being accelerated. PD |
