Title: Does relativistic inertia determine velocity?
Post by: jeffreyH on 28/11/2016 19:47:09

If gravitation increases relativistic mass does this determine the instantaneous velocity that a particle must travel at? So that it is the increase in mass that determines the rate of acceleration and not the other way round. Thus acceleration follows naturally from an increase in energy.

For anyone thinking that they understand general relativity read through all the sections in this wiki article.
