Mar 13, 2016 · Hi CuriousOne, I do agree with your static compression statement. Mine is obviously a very simplified thought experiment. Mass pans and rotates, distorting and warping …

Jun 27, 2018 · The space-time paths (or worldines) of the elevator and the ground underneath it are not straight lines, and so they intersect at some point. That intersection is the point in …

Mar 10, 2016 · From what I've read about spacetime and general relativity it seems there is no limit on how quickly space-time can be compressed or expanded. Why then gravitational …

Oct 1, 2021 · How can both of them be true at the same time? As discussed above, they are not really true "at the same time." Special relativity can be thought of as a special case of general …

Nov 25, 2020 · But what if we assume that spacetime is the medium in which an electromagnetic field travels in the same way is the medium through which a compression wave travels then …

Mar 29, 2018 · The closer one is to a massive object, the slower time moves. My thoughts are that the reason an object in free fall will accelerate toward something more massive, is because it …

Feb 21, 2016 · My question came from the talk of how gravitational wave stretches and compresses space time. Say there are two protons that are 1 centimeters apart, as a G-wave …

Mar 12, 2014 · The apple moving first only in the time direction (i.e. at rest in space) starts accelerating in space thanks to the curvature (the "mixing" of the space and time axes) - the …

May 24, 2023 · The collision between the tamper and core would create more efficient compression of the core than the explosive-driven shock in the wartime design. Other vague …
