“People have already measured time dilation due to Earth’s gravity,” says Brukner, “but they usually use two clocks in two different positions. We are saying, why not use one clock in a superposition?” Carrying out such a test, however, will not be easy. The fact that the effect ...

(such as the earth), you get a simple metric using the terms for flat Minkowski space-time, this metric does not have gravity associated with it and has a time-only term that corresponds to gravitational time-dilation.
Tags Acceleration Time In summary, the concept of time dilation can be confusing when considering acceleration alone, as it does not directly affect the rate at which a clock measures time. However, when comparing moving clocks or clocks in different levels of gravity, time dilation becomes a ...
scientists know, matter – or stuff – always makes gravity wells and not gravity hills. Scientists can imagine things made of exotic matter or energy that would cause gravity to push you off into space, but so far, no one has found anything that could cause gravity to push you away from...
Stresses on rocks can stem from various sources, such as changes in temperature or moisture, shifts in the Earth's plates, sediment buildup or even gravity.What is the region of deformed rocks?When rocks deform in a ductile manner, instead of fracturing to form faults or joints, they may ...
“change shape” instantaneously, everywhere, but is rather limited by the speed at which gravity can propagate through it: at the speed of light. The theory of general relativity is relativistically invariant, as are quantum field theories, which means that even though different observers don’t...
Q: Why does “curved space-time” cause gravity?: A better answer. Q: According to relativity, two moving observers always see the other moving through time slower. Isn’t that a contradiction? Doesn’t one have to be faster? Q: What does 0^0 (zero raised to the zeroth power) equal...
that's converted into kinetic energy which gives us velocity and the speed we need. As we go into the loop we need centripetal force, which sticks you to corners. The centripetal force still needs to be large enough when you get to the top that the effects of gravity don't overweigh it...
time runs. so a clock on international space station will run "faster" than a clock at sea level. however does it matter where the gravity is coming from? (i know it shouldnt since the gravitation force formula has no direction, just mass and distance) here is the part that i want to...
