Subject: Re: special relativity: accelerated frames
Having just wrapped up a VERY brief intro to SR for HS students, I
appreciate this thread.
I DID have one bright student who asked about circular motion. I have
stopped emphasizing the necessity of of the word INERTIAL in relating
postulate one for just this reason stated by John. Things DO get
more complicated with non-inertial frames but shouldn't require a
whole new paradigm of thinking.
