In almost general case, the space-time metrics looks like:
\begin{equation}
ds^2 = g_{00}(dx^0)^2 + 2g_{0i}dx^0dx^i + g_{ik}dx^idx^k,
\end{equation}
where ##i,k = 1 \ldots 3## - are spatial indeces.
The spatial distance between points (as determined, for example, by the stationary observer):
\begin{equation}
dl^2 = \left( -g_{ik} + \frac{g_{0i}g_{0j}}{g_{00}}\right)dx^idx^j = \gamma_{ik}dx^idx^j,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
\gamma_{ik} = -g_{ik} + \frac{g_{0i}g_{0j}}{g_{00}} ,
\end{equation}
And we can rewrite merics in a form:
\begin{equation}
ds^2 = g_{00}(dx^0 - g_idx^i)^2 - dl^2,
\end{equation}
in the last expression ##g_i## is:
\begin{equation}
g_i = -\frac{g_{0i}}{g_{00}}.
\end{equation}
The proper time in such metrics (when ##dx^i = 0##):
\begin{equation}
d\tau = \sqrt{g_{00}}dx^0.
\end{equation}
How do the absolute value of velocity of a certain particle are determined by stationary observer?
I thaught that is to be ##v = \frac{proper distance}{proper time}##
\begin{equation}
v = \frac{dl}{\sqrt{g_{00}}dx^0},
\end{equation}
but it it wrong answer.
The correct answer should to be
\begin{equation}
v = \frac{dl}{\sqrt{g_{00}}(dx^0 - g_idx^i)},
\end{equation}
and I don't undertand why.
\begin{equation}
ds^2 = g_{00}(dx^0)^2 + 2g_{0i}dx^0dx^i + g_{ik}dx^idx^k,
\end{equation}
where ##i,k = 1 \ldots 3## - are spatial indeces.
