Jan these are my comments, and do not
always reflect the views of the classical
GR community, for those a gadzillion books
and articles are available.

Hello,
Thanks for your comments. Here's my reply:
- to Ken: I looked for the Einstein paper and found it on the web; I
will read it. I hope it contains the anwsers as to why the simple model
I used is incomplete.
It's a no-brainer getting the Schwarzschild metric once
you know the answer, in fact it's rather easy to derive
from E =hv (Plancks photon energy equation), once you
prove "h" is invariant, but GR proves "h" is invariant in all
frames of reference. Indeed it looks to me that postulating
"h" to be invariant, (rather like "c" was in SR) one can
get a great deal of GR improvement and simplification.
About Planck's constant: I know what it is and
what importance it has in Quantum Mechanics. But I do not really
'understand' it (as there are more things in QM which cannot be
understood...). Why do you ask ?
Well because you can prolly teach me about it, being
fresh out the can. My simple understanding is "h" is
a fundamental unit of action that is everywhere and
for all time the same in all references, that's almost
like a god scalar.
It is used deep inside sub-atomic particles and applies
well to the spectra from distant galaxies, irrespective
of the forces, velocities or accelerations applied to
the system, in fact so much, I bet you hardly give it
a second thought. Why, why don't you give it a 2nd
thought?
BTW Jan have you got a good handle on Special
Relativity, I'm guessing you do.
Regards
Ken
PS: Your pdf's worked fine for me.
PSS: Sal's a sharp fellow developing a web-site
always under construction, swoop in for gander.
