Sentences with phrase «strong equivalence principle»

The system's unique geometry will allow the scientists to examine general relativity's strong equivalence principle, which states that gravity accelerates all objects at the same rate, regardless of their density.

In this way, the researchers expect to test whether the strong equivalence principle holds.

Not exact matches

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