Sentences with phrase «spacetime around»

Because the Earth warps spacetime around it and the Earth should also «drag» the spacetime around it as it rotates, there should be a twisting of the local spacetime.

Because a massive body, such as a star, warps spacetime around it, a light beam passing nearby should be deflected from a straight - line path.

Twenty - one papers published online November 17 in Classical and Quantum Gravity present a detailed summation of Gravity Probe B, a satellite that in 2011 confirmed Einstein's prediction that Earth dents and whips up the spacetime around it.

Gravitational lenses occur when very massive objects — such as clusters of galaxies — warp spacetime around them, causing light (and anything else) traveling nearby to take a curved path.

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

By cross-correlating the arrival times of all the different pulses to nanosecond precision across decades, astronomers hope to detect gravitational waves with wavelengths measured in light - months and light - years as their passing periodic ripples distort spacetime around Earth.

The project continues to detect waves from similar events, offering new and incredible details about what happens when these black holes crash and warp the spacetime around them.

The star is visible because the galaxy cluster's gravity bent spacetime around the cluster, making it act like a cosmic magnifying glass.

Not exact matches

Spacetime bends around the mass and becomes curved.

If there were a way to sense these spacetime swells, astronomers could investigate entities whipping around the universe that might otherwise remain unseen.

A black hole arises when the warping around a point grows so severe that that spacetime in the area becomes like a funnel so steep that nothing can climb back out, as may happen when a massive star collapses.

What's more, the Earth's rotation should also produce a drag on local spacetime, like a marble spinning in molasses would pull the goop around it.

In 1915, Einstein explained that gravity arises because massive bodies warp space and time, or spacetime, causing free - falling objects to follow curved paths such as the arc of a thrown ball or the elliptical orbit of a planet around its sun.

As a virtual observer moves around the black hole, it could see the swirling spacetime constantly creating and annihilating images of individual stars.

A massive object, such as the sun, would create a dent in spacetime, a gravitational well, causing any surrounding objects, such as the planets in our solar system, to follow a curved path around it.

Now this comes from a, this piece of it comes from a 2003 paper by a planetary scientist named Jack Wisdom at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and what he discovered is that you can move, as you [were describing] through curved space by moving, [let's] say, your arms and legs, or if you're an alien as it is described in the article, a tripod alien — just for the simplicity of demonstrating how the movements are with, sort of, heavy feet and a ball at the end of the tail that helped to move the [weight] around, just to make it kind of simple to look through — you can move through curved spacetime without pushing against anything, and this is the key here.

You know, for instance around Earth, you can think of gravity as forming a kind of a well around Earth, which causes the things that pass near Earth, the moon I would say, which is orbiting on its path, to stay within the vicinity because it falls into that gravity well, metaphorically speaking; and in likewise the same way this astronaut that is fictitiously described by our good mathematics professor takes a journey through curved spacetime.

And if you were to swing your arms around, your body would start to move in [opposition] to that, and moving through curved spacetime is similar in this fashion.

Such an (entirely theoretical) device would somehow allow an object to change mass and inertia at will, and potentially to travel faster than light by «altering the spacetime metric» around itself.

Oh, and we get to watch Danny Pudi and Alison Brie run around in their Inspector Spacetime costumes.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a video game about love, bunnies and hard challenges, an experience that has a simple premise and then manages to create a very cute universe around it.

I'm sure it does Leif and nothing wrong with playing around with curved spacetime solutions if it finds the right answer.

A total of six games will be released this time around, including two for the PS4 and the notable fan - favorite title «Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.»
