Time Dilation in Rotating Frames
When considering non-inertial frames, such as a clock fixed on a rotating platform, both special relativity and general relativity effects contribute to the observed time difference. For a clock rotating at angular velocity $\omega$ at a distance $r$ from the axis of rotation, the total time dilation factor relative to a stationary frame at the axis is complex, involving the transformation of the metric tensor that accounts for [centr…
