The major reason is that Einstein's principle of equivalence, which correlates and consolidates the concepts of inertial and gravitational mass and which in turn introduces the curvature of spacetime in the general theory, has no analogue in Whitehead's theory.9 But perhaps more importantly for the purposes of this essay, Einstein's entire approach in special relativity presumes that the nature of causality in the universe has a direct bearing upon spatio — temporal structure.

But to detect these waves, astronomers need to build an observatory that can detect incredibly minuscule wobbles in the fabric of spacetime as these waves travel through our planet.

With the Aug. 14 detection of spacetime ripples, scientists were able to home in on the location of gravitational wave flinging black holes more precisely than ever before, illustrated in lime green on a map of the sky.

These signatures are neutrinos (subatomic particles that stream out of a collapsing star's center) and gravitational waves (subtle vibrations of spacetime that will also ripple out from the convulsing star).

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.

The first direct detection of gravitational waves occurred in mid-September 2015 (but announced February 11, 2016) with twin LIGO detectors in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA (both USA) when ripples of spacetime from the last fraction of a second of the merger of two black holes with masses 29 and 36 solar masses combined to form a 62 - solar mass black hole with 3 solar masses of energy radiated away as gravitational waves in that last fraction of a second.

Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity predicted that events, like two black holes colliding, should distort the fabric of spacetime with gravitational waves.

The total number of spacetime building blocks it touches over a given period reveals the spectral dimension.

The largest, dubbed LARES, will test the Lense - Thirring effect, a prediction of general relativity that concerns the distortion of spacetime by a rotating massive body.

Physicists detected the signature of a black hole twisting the fabric of spacetime around it.

By studying the dance of two Earth - orbiting satellites, Italian physicists have detected the subtle twisting of spacetime around a massive, spinning object.

This resolution of the bounded L2 curvature conjecture is important because it is a potential step towards the proof of Penrose's famous cosmic censorship conjectures, which concerns gravitational singularities: pathological regions of spacetime where the gravitational field becomes infinite, like in the center of a black hole.

-- Fact is that Wickman relies on conflating the beginning of our universe with the beginning of spacetime.

Mays claims that the process of integration of past influences is a rather straightforward notion — the influences of the past are superposed in a region of spacetime so that incompatible features are eliminated, leaving one complex pattern that characterizes the novel event e (PW 129/138).

The realm of this existence is a created and fa inished product by the Divine Realm, so the argument of spacetime, which is part of this realm, is invalid.

First, Whitehead lays out in The Principle of Relativity assumptions carried over from his philosophy of nature which are different from Einstein's and which imply a concept of simultaneity different from Einstein's.1 «Second, Whitehead's concept of simultaneity can be found to be implicit in his discussions of his theory of spacetime, though he never draws specific attention to it or directly asserts the nature of his divergence from the Einsteinian concept.

Hence, any given event partakes of an indefinite number of relations of simultaneity, since any given event occurs in an indefinite number of spacetime systems.
