general relativity - why do x Schwarzschild radii equal time dilation effects of speed of light going y times faster than an object^2?


let me walk you through the math.


First you start with the gravitational time dilation formula where:


T1=T12GMrc2



and rather than entering r for the radius we replace r with the Schwarzschild radius formula (2GM/c2)x with an x at the end representing how many Schwarzschild radii you are away from the center. This brings the formula to look like:


T1=T12GM2GMc2xc2)


Which when simplified breaks down to:


T1=T11x


and if you make T=1 then you just get


T1=11x


This is very similar to the one in many physics books =1r0/r, where r0 is equal to the Schwarzschild radius and then r equals the radius from the center. The formula above it just makes it slightly simpler due to making r0 equal to 1 and x equal to how many radii a point you are observing is from the center of the mass.


That is the gravitational time dilation side portion of this relationship. Now for the velocity time dilation side we use a similar methodology and start with:


T0=T1v2c2


Now we make T equal to 1, v equal to one, and c to y because now we are going to make c a variable.



T0=11y2


What you see now "1/y2" is showing the velocity as a constant 1 and y represents how much faster light is going than the velocity constant of 1. If the above were to show the fraction as 1/52 then this would be the same as saying an object is going at a velocity 1/5th the velocity of light. So now if we solve the velocity and gravitational time dilation formulas so that we can see how they dilate time to come up with the same result:


11x=11y2


We can simplify this to


x=y2


What does this mean?
