The Equivalence Principle as a Stepping Stone from Special to General Relativity: A Socratic Dialog
S. P. Drake
Abstract
In this paper we show how the student can be led to an understanding of the connection between special relativity and general relativity by considering the time dilation effect of clocks placed on the surface of the Earth. This paper is written as a Socratic dialog between a lecturer Sam and a student Kim.
