Physically what does warping (of space-time) mean?
2015年9月21日 · Physically what does warping (of space-time) mean? Inhomogeneous space. See the Einstein digital papers where Einstein describes a gravitational field as a place where space is "neither homogeneous nor isotropic". And note that curved spacetime isn't curved time and curved space.
Understanding gravity—warps and ripples in space and time
2016年3月2日 · The equivalence principle tells us that the effects of gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable. In thinking about the example of the cylindrical ride, we see that accelerated motion can warp space and time. It is here that Einstein connected the dots to suggest that gravity is the warping of space and time. Gravity is the curvature of ...
How Gravity Warps Light - NASA Science
2023年7月18日 · When light passes close to a massive object, space-time is so warped that it curves the path the light must follow. Light that would normally go through the galaxy cluster bends around it, producing intensified – and sometimes multiple – images of the source.
Time Warps and Black Holes: The Past, Present & Future of Space-Time
2015年12月31日 · When giving the coordinates for a location, most people provide the latitude, longitude and perhaps altitude. But there is a fourth dimension often neglected: time. The combination of the...
Physicists Discover New Way to Visualize Warped Space and Time
2011年4月10日 · This warping of space and time is so complicated that physicists haven't been able to understand the details of what goes on—until now. "We've found ways to visualize warped space-time like never before," says Kip Thorne, Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

2024年10月29日 · Einstein spent the decade between the two publications determining that particularly massive objects warp the fabric of space-time, a distortion that manifests as gravity, according to NASA....
Warped space-time visualized by physicists - EarthSky
2011年4月13日 · We’ve found ways to visualize warped space-time like never before. By combining theory with computer simulations, Thorne and his colleagues have developed conceptual tools they’ve dubbed tendex...
Warped Space-time to Help WFIRST Find Exoplanets - NASA
2020年3月30日 · NASA’s Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will search for planets outside our solar system toward the center of our Milky Way galaxy, where most stars are. Studying the properties of exoplanet worlds will help us understand what planetary systems throughout the galaxy are like and how planets form and evolve.
Warping Spacetime in Art and Verse | The Division of Physics ...
2023年10月27日 · Since the 2015 detection of gravitational waves —ripples in space-time caused by massive cosmic events like the collision of two black holes—by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory ( LIGO, funded by NSF and co-managed by Caltech and MIT), they say there is actual evidence for these strange objects.
Physicists discover new way to visualize warped space and time
2011年4月11日 · When black holes slam into each other, the surrounding space and time surge and undulate like a heaving sea during a storm. This warping of space and time is so complicated that physicists...
