This is because swimming has no eccentric movement (the negative portion of a lift under gravity), which is what is the main cause of muscle soreness.

Along with black holes, neutron stars are the result of stars collapsing under gravity once their fuel burns out, until their density is about the same as that of the nucleus of an atom, at which point the protons and electrons «melt» into pure neutrons.

Eventually, this neutral hydrogen gas clumped together under gravity, triggering the formation of the first stars that erupted with powerful X-rays.

The pattern should reveal exactly how much the atoms accelerate under gravity as they orbit Earth.

These particles contracted under gravity to create planetesimals, which collided with one another to become the solid inner planets.

Either the clusters are moving under the gravity of a huge concentration of matter, which means that matter is distributed unevenly over a larger scale than that of the survey, or the big bang was not uniform.

When a star runs out of hydrogen fuel its core collapses inward under gravity and, hitting rock bottom, sends out a shockwave that blasts away the star's outer layers as a supernova.

«All of these materials can be sculpted into a shape (in a liquid state) and hold their shape even under gravity (as a solid).»

Oils such as pentane have a low surface tension — 15mN / m — so they sag under gravity and tend to form a flat pool rather than a spherical droplet, meeting the surface at a low angle.

As he and his collaborators put it, «with at least a boundary layer of water on the diatoms, secreted oil droplets would separate under gravity, rising to the top of a tilted panel forming an unstable emulsion, which should progressively separate.

Periodic points of area - preserving mappings have been bread - and - butter to dynamical systems theory since the end of the 19th century, when Henri Poincare first applied them to a problem about the motion of three bodies under gravity.

And by testing the effect of gravity on BECs of two different types of atoms, an atom interferometer could test the principle that all objects, no matter their weight or composition, accelerate at the exact same rate under gravity's pull — as Galileo Galilei supposedly demonstrated by dropping balls of different materials off the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.

For less massive stars like the Sun the process that brings them into existence is quite well understood — as clouds of gas are pulled together under gravity, density and temperature increase, and nuclear fusion begins)-- but for the most massive stars buried in regions like RCW 106 this explanation does not seem to be fully adequate.
