Students beware

I had been monitoring this article for bad edits, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.

Good luck to Mpatel (talk · contribs) and to all students in your search for information, regardless!---CH 17:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Possible factual problem

I'm not an expert, and I haven't checked the references yet. . . , but I suspect the $\omega _{i}$ mentioned in the first set-off equation is not to be identified with the $\omega _{\mu }$ defined in the next paragraph. Following through the definition seems to give a distinct result. Algonkian wanna learn (talk) 00:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Its not. The article uses the "well-known" convention that $\omega _{i}$ is three dimensional, while $\omega _{\mu }$ is four-dimensional. That is, i=1,2,3 and mu=1,2,3,4. I'm not sure where to say this; it is one of those things that "everyone knows". 67.198.37.16 (talk) 17:40, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Or are you trying to say that the definition of the twist vector is wrong? Its not just "mentioned", the first equation uses $\omega _{i}$ and the paragraphs that follow give it a name: the "twist vector" and define as that anti-symmetric derivative-product of the killing vector. Or maybe you are saying that metrics of that form can also include $\omega _{i}$'s that are more general than just twist vectors? Hmm. Maybe. I don't know. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 17:52, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
