Sentences with phrase «gravity slows time»

Not exact matches

Second, this slower formation gave the sun more time to blow hydrogen and helium out of the solar system with its stellar winds — before Uranus and Neptune could grow massive enough to capture it with their gravity.

Steve Capps wondered if gravity could affect atomic clocks: «Since time slows in a gravitational field, are atomic clocks so sensitive that perhaps moving them from the ground floor to the second or third floor of a building would have a measurable effect, given that gravity would be less on the higher floors?»

Because of that equivalence principle, then, the same must be true for gravity: As a gravitational field grows stronger, time slows even more.

As a moon orbits a planet, its gravity makes the planet move, speeding it up and slowing it down and so changing the timing and duration of transits.

Einstein's theory states that time and space are not absolute but relative: time runs faster in high altitudes but slower at fast velocities, as can be measured in the mountains or with satellite clocks; and space can be curved by the gravity of large masses, as was proven in the 1919 solar eclipse when star positions near the Sun seemed to have «shifted», but in reality only the light rays had been curved by the Sun's mass.

While the Sun does not rotate as a solid body (the rotational period is 25 days at the equator and about 35 days at the poles), it takes approximately 28 days to complete one full rotation; the centrifugal effect of this slow rotation is 18 million times weaker than the surface gravity at the Sun's equator.

In other words, time runs slower wherever gravity is strongest, and this is because gravity curves space - time.

It is always advised to start to slow an easy, giving the body enough time to get used to the effects of gravity.

However, the scenes on Earth are much weaker in their humor — each time the scenes cut back to Earth it can not compete with memorable moon scenarios like a low gravity - induced slow motion gun fight.

- game begins on Xandar, with the Guardians trying to repel an assault from the game's main villain, Kang the Conquerer - the game is all about time travel - bend time during battles with bosses and to solve puzzles - sometimes you can slow down the action to gain a strategic advantage - each character has their own ability and unique animations - abilities have also been expanded with functional emotes - Star - Lord has his trademark gravity grenades and can fly around and shoot baddies with his blasters - he can also use his Walkman to make all enemies and friends in the area dance, allowing him to walk past without a fight - includes fan - favorite characters like Spider - Gwen, who can stop to take a selfie in battle, which can be uploaded online

He developed a gravity gun that functions just like its namesake in Half - Life 2, and a Dead Eye shooting mode that slows down time a la Red Dead Redemption.

Around 1970, while in the John St. studio, Frances began working on large horizontal abstract paintings that were involved with ideas of gravity, slow painting time, indeterminate color, and trying to create a complex painting space that appeared geometric, but alternately shifted into a deeper space.

[Obviously, if they were any further away, or if the random supernovas blew up too early to become part of the solar system's dust cloud, or were traveling too fast to be captured by what would become part of the solar system's dust cloud, or were thrown out too slow to get here in time, or were formed but were inside another star gravity field and never thrown back into space, even more dust would be lost in space, but let's keep the problem easy.

The existence of something that we call «gravity», and that suitably massive and slow moving objects obey Newton's Laws of Gravity has been reliably demonstrated countless gravity», and that suitably massive and slow moving objects obey Newton's Laws of Gravity has been reliably demonstrated countless Gravity has been reliably demonstrated countless times..
