	COSMOLOGY MODELS - The Twin Paradox
		In this first case the reference frame is the one in which twin A stays at rest.
		The paradox comes about because it would seem that if we took as our reference frame the frame in which twin B is at rest on the outbound leg and twin A is thus moving throughout the adventure, then twin A's clock should be slower hence the seeming contradiction.
		We should realize however that in the reference frame of twin B at the start he is not moving but after the distant point passes him he has to go at much greater speed than the other twin's speed in order to catch up and hence his clock is more greatly slowed.

	Frame of reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfred's frame of reference is considered an inertial frame of reference because he is not accelerating (ignoring effects such as Earth's rotation and gravity).
		Frames of reference are especially important in special relativity, because when a frame of reference is moving at some significant fraction of the speed of light, then the flow of time in that frame does not necessarily apply in another reference frame.
		An accelerated frame of reference is often delineated as being the "primed" frame, and all variables that are dependent on that frame are notated with primes, e.g.

		However, the assumption of constant progression of proper time in all frames of reference is replaced by the assumption that the speed of light is constant, and that this is equally true for every inertial observer.
		It is lowest with respect to the center of mass, i.e., in a frame of reference in which the center of mass is stationary.
		In another frame of reference the additional kinetic energy is that corresponding to the total mass and the speed of the center of mass.

	Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An inertial reference frame is a coordinate system in which Newton's first and second laws of motion are valid —ie.
		By contrast, bodies are subject to so-called fictitious forces in non-inertial reference frames; that is, forces that result from the acceleration of the reference frame itself and not from any physical force acting on the body.
		Einstein's theory of special relativity likewise assumes the equivalence of all inertial reference frames, but makes a different additional assumption, namely, that the speed of light is the same when measured in all inertial reference frames.

		A frame of reference in physics provides a set of axes relative to which an observer can measure the position and motion of all points in a system, as well as the orientation of objects in it.
		The usual reference frames for Newtonian physics are rigid, but in Newtonian fluid mechanics, one can use coordinates carried with the fluid motion, defining a "Lagrangian reference frame," as in [1].
		Returning to the special case of a frame with rectangular coordinates, one can define translations, rotations, and velocity transformations (those that carry one to a moving frame) as transformations of the reference system to another.

		In physics, an inertial frame of reference, or inertial frame for short, is a frame of reference in which the observers move without the influence of any accelerating or decelerating force.
		The transformation from one inertial frame of reference to another is done using Lorentz transformation s, or, at speeds considerably below the speed of light, Galilean transformation s.
		In real life, such frames of reference are purely theoretical, because gravitational force (and thus acceleration) exists everywhere in the known universe.

		A frame of reference in physics is a set of axes which enable an observer to measure the aspect, position and motion of all points in a system relative to the reference frame.
		The usual reference frames for Newtonian physics are rigid, but in Newtonian fluid mechanics, one can use coordinates carried with the fluid motion, defining a "Lagrangian reference frame," as in [1] (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ma/preprints/papers02/02-48.pdf).
		Research (http://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C020620/papers/FRAT03.PDF#search='Lageos%20thirring%20lense') demonstrates experimentally that the rotation of the Earth pulls inertial reference frames near it in a circular motion whose rotational speed must fall off at large distances.

	Frames of Reference
		The notion of frames of reference as attributes of professional disciplines has not been developed quite so systematically, although the roots of the idea are around in the original formulations of professional ideology (seen primarily as vested interest) (Mannheim, 1936).
		One of the clearest expressions of the idea, with particular reference to "closed" frames of reference, such as religion, Marxism and psycho-analysis, which are capable of explaining away all objections within their own frame, is found in Berger (1961).
		Parts of these frames of reference are technical, such as sensitivity to information gained through the stethoscope which means something to a doctor but not to a lay-person.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- Allport (1940)
		An example of the trend is the growing interest in the frame of reference, a concept which I have appropriated for the title of this address.
		Dynamic and social psychologists are especially concerned with these personal, ego-involving frames, and are often able to show that what are sometimes thought to be neutral-perceptual judgments, even the judgments of scientists themselves, are not wholly determined by an objectively established frame, but are entangled deep in the web of personality.
		It is especially those frames of reference adopted as the "wise prejudices" of our own station, class, and culture that reflect prevailing social norms.

	Frames of Reference: The Basics
		Obervations suggest that among all such choices, the frame of the stars (or of "the distant universe") is the proper one for Newton's equations.
		However, this is not always the most convenient frame: for someone sitting in a moving airliner, in an orbiting spaceship or upon the rotating Earth, it is much easier to observe the way an object moves relative to its immediate surroundings than to figure out its motion relative to the distant universe!
		It is thus not a bad approximation to regard the Earth as the ultimate frame of reference.

	Re: First Person Frame of Reference (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		For example when Einstein says that length is a relative quantity he means that two observers occupying inertial frames of reference in motion relative to each other perceive the length of an object differently.
		Hence length is relative and dependent on the observer's frame of reference, and charge is absolute and independent on the observer's frame of reference.
		Now let's move on to a Q-suicide experiment that parallels Einstein's scenario: two observers occupy different frames of reference because their continuing existence is differently contingent on a particular event (such as winning a lottery ticket).
