This dimple in space-time is the result of what we call a gravity well, and it was first described over 100 years ago by Albert Einstein's field equations in his theory of general relativity.
We spoke with theoretical physicist Brian Greene about Einstein's theory of space-time. Many scientists believe space-time is a fundamental concept. But Greene thinks there might be something ...
The pull of gravity is just matter sliding along the curvatures of space-time. Einstein shot to the pinnacle of celebrity in 1919, when British astronomers actually measured this warping.
Students will learn the origin of how spacetime curves (the Einstein equation) and how matter moves through it (the geodesic equation). They will learn what black holes really are, how gravitational ...
When the team analyzed how the mass of these galaxies distorts space-time, they found a slight deviation from Einstein's predictions that they emerged between 5–6 million years ago. This change ...
