We imagine a group of people living on the inner surface of a huge rotating cylinder in flat spacetime. Their experiences are described and calculated. Thus we introduce gravimagnetic effects and the connection between gravitational time dilation and gravitational acceleration. Gravimagnetic effects such as the force on moving particles and the precession of gyroscopes are derived. The Thomas precession is obtained. These observations illustrate GR ideas that are applicable more generally. Some properties of the general stationary metric are introduced. |
