If you're going to be pedantic about Jan's semantics than I will be about your definitions. It is utterly ridiculous to define your terms in such a way that a tensor has different units carried by different elements when its not necessary to do so. Just get a brain and define x0 by ct rather than t so that it has all elements with the same units.

That is the third time now (I can see that you have posted a fourth time as 
I was writing this).  How more often are you going to post this (what I 
think is nonsense as you are confusing the signature with the metric)?

I think I am following convention here.  To recapture, I made the following 
substitutions to arrive and the summantion notation (now superscript not 
following paranthesis meaning the index in a contravariant tensor, not an 
exponent):

  ds² = (c)²  (dt)²   −      (dx)²  −     (dy)²   −     (dz)²
      = (c)²  (dx⁰)²  −     (dx¹)²  −     (dx²)²  −     (dx³)²
      = g₀₀   dx⁰ dx⁰ − g₁₁ dx¹ dx¹ − g₂₂ dx² dx² − g₃₃ dx³ dx³

How is “g” going to look like if I “define x0 by ct rather than t”?

There is no “t” there; there is “dt”.

Sorry, I meant of course:

I did, twice, fleebrain, but you didn't answer mine. This is the Thomas 'PointedEars' Lahn challenge just for you. 
Here is an exact solution to Einstein's field equations(one of mine): 
ds^2={dct^2/[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^2]}-[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^(2n)]dx^2-[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^(2n/(n-1))]dy^2-[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^((2*(n^2-2n+2))/(n-1))]dz^2 
which is vacuum for |z| greater than 0. Find the stress-energy tensor for the sheet at z=0.

I think we can agree on that you have answered the question that I asked in
this subthread *in a way* twice as you have posted *a possible, correct*
metric for Minkowski spacetime.

I had previously been unaware that

  c dt = d(ct)

holds for constants c and differentials dt [1], so that

   ds² = c² dt²     − dx²        − dy²        − dz²
       = (c dt)²    − dx²        − dy²        − dz²
       = (d(ct))²   − dx²        − dy²        − dz²
       = (dx⁰)²     − (dx¹)²     − (dx²)²     − (dx³)²          (x⁰ := ct)
       = g₀₀ (dx⁰)² + g₁₁ (dx¹)² + g₂₂ (dx²)² + g₃₃ (dx³)²

with

         (1   0   0   0)
  g_µν = (0  −1   0   0) = diag(+1,−1,−1,−1)
         (0   0  −1   0)
         (0   0   0  −1)

which is probably what you mean.  It then happens that the metric (tensor) g
is identical to the signature of the space when written as diagonal
matrix/tensor η, whereas both are generally related by the identity

  g_αβ ≡ ∂ξ^α∕∂x^µ ∂ξ^β∕∂x^ν η_αβ

(see also: <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MetricTensor.html>).

However, you have _not_ answered my *other* question regarding the form of
ds² in Einstein summation convention then, which is why I had to figure that
out for myself:

  ds² = g_µν dx^µ dx^ν = c² dt² − dx² − dy² − dz²

still holds with your metric g and definition of x⁰, as can be seen above.

Had you been more forthcoming and less name-calling, we could have resolved
this earlier.

I maintain, however, that the metric that I posted also is standard notation
and not in any way wrong, and I have to reiterate that with natural units
where c = 1 (which is common in relativistic physics), our metrics are
identical.

See also: <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MinkowskiMetric.html>

> fleebrain, but you didn't answer mine. […]

And do you think that your insults will effect that I consider your red
herring, or reading further postings from you at all?

So much for “logical responses”.

Ah so you need to go back to elementary school and learn ppmdas. 
dct=d(ct), moron.

I called him an idiot, but since you insist, David Waste :) Is c not a

About 2 seconds after I posted, I relized that you were talking to him and not telling me that it wasn't and deleted the response post, but apparently the groups lag is atrocious.

You didn't have questions you had false assertions which you ignored the answer to. As I said plainly stated,
x⁰=ct 
x¹=x 
x²=y 
x³=z 
ds²=dct²-dx²-dy²-dz² 
then you get 
ds²=(dx⁰)²-(dx¹)²-(dx²)²-(dx³)²

and its signature is (+,-,-,-).
And YOU still haven't answered my question and until you do you should stop being a crank making assertions about things you obviously don't know anything about. Here is an exact solution to Einstein's field equations(one of mine) 
ds^2={dct^2/[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^2]}-[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^(2n)]dx^2-[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^(2n/(n-1))]dy^2-[(1-(A*|z|/c^2))^((2*(n^2-2n+2))/(n-1))]dz^2 
which is vacuum for |z| greater than 0. Find the stress-energy tensor for the sheet at z=0. 
Tell me when you're going to admit you don't know crap about the subject matter and so can't answer it so I can put the answer back up at my site as I temporarily removed it so you couldn't get it from me.

Guess it was a bad idea to troll Jan being pedantic about semantics.

You're following crapwiki actually. There actually isn't one single set of conventions for general relativity's tensor calculus because I can count on my fingers and toes the number of people who have understood general relativity since Einstein. I'm just telling you what you should be doing. 

> >> > There is no “t” there; there is “dt”.

So it just occurs to me that not only am I talking to a crank that makes assertions about tensors he knows nothing about but that he doesn't even have calculus as a prerequisite. Ok, so dt means an infinitesimal displacement in t. As such,
c*dt=dct
c²*dt²=(dct)² or for those who aren't to stupid to get it, dct².
So you define for the Minkowski spacetime
x⁰=ct
x¹=x
x²=y
x³=z
and the Minkowski rank2 covariant metric tensor expressed as a matrix IS THEN,

Nice and elegant, with all the same units for all the elements since so long as you're using rectilinear coordinates, it isn't necessary to do otherwise and its signature is (+,-,-,-).

If you're going to be pedantic about Jan's semantics than I will be about your definitions. It is utterly ridiculous to define your terms in such a way that a tensor has different units carried by different elements. Just get a brain and define x0 by ct rather than t so that it has all elements with the same units.

Utter nonsense.

Argument from incredulity isn't logical Mr.Spock. You were wrong so you didn't have a valid response.

You don't know what a tensors stands for, especially in Physics. Is not a 
data storage, idiot. What am I crazy?? I am talking to an almost half of 
an engineer.
