Radial geodesic acceleration in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime

ID: radial-geodesic-acceleration-in-schwarzschild-de-sitter-spacetime

For , , and , a radial timelike geodesic has . The radial geodesic equation gives , including at a turning point. This is a second derivative of the areal radius with respect to proper time; the geodesic's four-acceleration still vanishes. In the slow-motion weak-field limit, restoring units gives .
