As I understand it, in GR acceleration is indistinguishable* from gravity, so while you're on the ground feeling 1 gee, you're being accelerated up at 1 gee, and so is the ground. When you're in free-fall, that's when you're in a non-accelerating frame, even though a non-relativistic description** would say that you are, in fact, accelerating. Caveat: I only do physics as a hobby, neither academically nor professionally, so take with appropriate degree of doubt. * for point-like observers at least ** ignoring rotation and curved orbits |
