His free - flowing art could be a mirror of
warped spacetime, or even a model of the «superstring» model of the cosmos.
A mathematical simulation of
the warped spacetime near two merging black holes, consistent with LIGO's observation of the event dubbed GW170104.
Using physics equations provided by Thorne, the company's computers mapped the paths of millions of rays of light through
the warped spacetime caused by a fictional black hole.
RIPPLE SIGHTING The cosmic dance of two black holes
warped spacetime as the pair spiraled inward and merged, creating gravitational waves (illustrated).
Black holes are enigmatic astronomical objects, areas where the gravity is so immense that it has
warped spacetime so that not even light can escape.
In this one lunch alone, we covered electric cars, climate change, artificial intelligence, the Fermi Paradox, consciousness, reusable rockets, colonizing Mars, creating an atmosphere on Mars, voting on Mars, genetic programming, his kids, population decline, physics vs. engineering, Edison vs. Tesla, solar power, a carbon tax, the definition of a company,
warping spacetime and how this isn't actually something you can do, nanobots in your bloodstream and how this isn't actually something you can do, Galileo, Shakespeare, the American forefathers, Henry Ford, Isaac Newton, satellites, and ice ages.
In general relativity, gravity is the result of matter and energy
warping spacetime, creating curves that alter the motion of objects (SN: 10/17/15, p. 16).
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.
But according to general relativity, gravity is the result of massive objects like the sun and planets
warping spacetime.
They are so massive that
they warp spacetime enough to distort light from more distant objects behind them.
In 1915, Albert Einstein explained that gravity arises when massive objects such as Earth
warp spacetime, bending the otherwise straight trajectories of free - falling objects.
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.
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.
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.
Not exact matches
But Einstein showed that when you add mass, including planets, people, and even coconuts, it
warps the fabric of
spacetime.
As Einstein showed, gravity is just the
warping of
spacetime, and black holes are big
spacetime sinks.
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.
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 strange as anything from a novelist's imagination, black holes
warp the fabric of
spacetime and imprison light and matter in a gravitational death grip.
The makings and dynamics of these monstrous
warpings of
spacetime have been confounding scientists for centuries.
A massive object generates a gravitational field by
warping the geometry of the surrounding
spacetime.
However, if the light from many distant galaxies passes through the stretched
spacetime of a nearby galaxy cluster, then the mass of the galaxy cluster can be derived from a careful analysis of the ensemble of
warped shapes and their orientations.
Also, astronomers familiar with the signal are considering the possibility of a microlensing event — a distant radio source may have been momentarily amplified by HD164595 through the
warping of
spacetime, creating a cosmic lens, making the radio signal look like a suspect radio burst.
In this section the implications of General Relativity's claim that gravity is the
warping of
spacetime will be explored in a prediction - observation format.
