“If you want to keep it simple then watch your stupid mistakes,” Otto said. “And why fuck with the field equations you're deriving from Newtonian mechanics? Go to the source, man. Einstein.”
He turned, erased all the work from one of the boards and started writing very fast.
x′ =
xcos wt–
sinwt–
w(sinwt + ycoswt)
t
y′ =
sin wt +
cos wt +
w(xcos wt–y sin wt)

“That's for two events in a homogenous space,” Otto said. “Come on, guys, basic physics. You can work it from there. But it'll come to Einstein's tensor equations for the separation of two bodies. You should be able to use the same mechanism for three bodies or more, if that's where you want to go with it.”
He turned back to the board:
