| Jun 25, 2021 at 8:00 | comment | added | Umaxo | @KabirKhanna I am not sure in what way to interpret "the same coordinates". Coordinates are homeomorphism of manifold into $\mathbb{R}^n$ and you are working with two different manifolds. What it means for a coordinates to be the same if they are defined on different spaces? | |
| Jun 25, 2021 at 7:56 | comment | added | CondensedChatter | Your answer is convincing but there is a mathematical point that I am still not sure of: Are these locally accelerated coordinates, say at point P of the manifold, the same coordinates that make my metric look like the Minkowski metric around the point P? I think so but I am not sure. | |
