Sentences with phrase «where spacetime»

And once matter crosses over the point of no return, the event horizon, it spirals helplessly toward an almost infinitely small point, a point where spacetime is so curved that all our theories break down: the singularity.

The multiple - image effect was observed only on the side of the black hole where spacetime is being dragged toward the observer, which the team concluded was because some light was being «flung» outward.

Not exact matches

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.

Scientists pinpointed the region in the sky where the two black holes violently melded and kicked up swirls of the spacetime ripples, locating their stomping grounds more precisely than ever before.

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.

We start with the fuzzy world of quantum geometry, where it is even difficult to say what is time and what is space, yet the phenomena occurring in our cosmological model still look as if everything was happening in ordinary spacetime!

These equations work well until an observer reaches the center or singularity, where in theoretical calculations the curvature of spacetime becomes infinite.

That is, something catastrophic — typically a horrible death — would prevent observers from actually entering a region of spacetime where their future was not uniquely determined.

In a nutshell, Einsteinian gravity treats space and time as two of the same — four - dimensional «spacetime» where time is another dimension incorporated into the three dimensions of space — and matter influences the curvature of spacetime while the curvature of spacetime influences the motion of matter.

From Newton's unchanging realm in which space and time are absolute, to Einstein's fluid conception of spacetime, to quantum mechanics» entangled arena where vastly distant objects can bridge their spatial separation to instantaneously coordinate their behavior or even undergo teleportation, Greene reveals our world to be very different from what common experience leads us to believe.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime plays as a co-op title where the players work together to achieve their objectives.
