Sentences with phrase «massive moving objects»

Updated, 11:51 p.m. Sustained large investments in fundamental science paid off in a big way last week, as Dennis Overbye so beautifully reported in The Times's package on confirmation of Einstein's 1916 conclusion that massive moving objects cause ripples in spacetime — gravitational waves.

Not exact matches

[1] The ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves are created by moving masses, but only the most intense waves, created by rapid speed changes of very massive objects, can be detected by the current generation of detectors.

Possible methods to move the massive Costa Concordia, twice as big as the Titanic, include multiple cranes, inflatable bags and even buoyant objects like ping - pong balls used by Donald Duck

Gravitational waves are created by massive objects moving through space - time.

In addition, HESS has detected emissions from new classes of objects emitting very high energy gamma rays, such as stellar - mass black holes orbiting massive stars, and has characterized the absence of emissions from other classes of objects such as rapidly moving stars.

Although these bipolar outflows were moving much more slowly than the HH objects — about 10 miles per second — they were 10 times as massive as the jets, with a volume many times larger.

Gravitational waves, the undulations produced in space - time when massive objects move, had long been predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Stars typically move with an average speed when they are formed and gradually change speed as they encounter very large objects, such as massive stars and molecular clouds and are affected by their gravity.

Observation: Before September 14, 2015, the most sensitive detectors had not directly detected the tiny stretching - shrinking of spacetime caused by a massive object moving.

Given the large orbital eccentricities of these two objects (which move beyond 500 AUs of the Sun), some astronomers have argued that they were likely to have been strongly perturbed by a massive celestial object (which is unlikely to have been Neptune as they do not come close enough to feel its gravitational influence) such as the passing of a rogue planet (perturbed from its primordial orbit by the gas giants of the inner Solar Sylstem) or one or more passing stars, which could have dragged the two objects farther out after initial orbital perturbation by Neptune or as part of a «first - generation» Oort Cloud.

Eventually, the pair saw that if they ran simulations using a hypothetical massive planet in what's called an anti-aligned orbit — a path in which the planet's perihelion, or closest approach to the sun, is 180 degrees from all of the other objects and known planets in the solar system — their six strangely behaving objects moved in the strange alignment that they actually do in reality.

By placing your legs and both hands on independently moving objects, you demand massive amounts of stabilizing work on the part of your pecs.

It's sweet, funny and honestly moving in its depiction of two people on the fringe of normal society who go on one of the most memorable cinematic journeys in years when they become the unexpected objects of a massive manhunt.

Many of the levels require you to scale massive structures or investigate hidden areas, requiring Pax to reach into his bag of tricks: holding his cap to glide, using his quarter machine «Sticky Hand» to reach new heights or his «Sporekinesis» to move objects and spring traps.

Slime - san also featured some occasional framerate drops when there were lots of moving objects onscreen, as well as some massive slowdowns whenever I'd resume the game after putting the Switch on sleep mode.

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 times..
