I'm guessing you've read Incandescence by Greg Egan?
It explores the possibility that general relativity could be discovered by a pre-industrial civilisation living inside an asteroid in a very tight orbit of one those nasty interlopers.
- xelxebar 7y agoEgan is one of my all-time favorite SF authors. Was delighted and surprised to find his name popping up in some nitty-gritty, research-level algebra discussions recently. I haven't heard of Incadescence so it's definitely going on the list. Am also intrigued by Dichronauts too! Have you read it?
