A massive object is assumed to deform the local continuum. The deformation may be represented as a displacement field. Displacement may be represented as a vector.
Two frames of reference may be required to represent the deformation of space-time surrounding a massive object. A vector of displacement is associated with each frame.
Schwarzschild conditions give relationships between the two vectors.
Schwarzschild definitions give the Schwarzschild metric.
Can two frames of reference represent the deformation of the continuum?
