In addition, the study of gravitational waves may ultimately help scientists in their quest to solve some of the biggest problems in physics, such as the unification of forces, linking quantum theory with gravity.此外,对引力波的研究,或将最终有助于科学家探索解决物理学中最大的一些难题 - 例如各种...
The investigation of the transverse effect of gravitational waves (GW's) could constitute a further tool to discriminate among several relativistic theories of gravity on the ground. After a review of the TT gauge, the transverse effect of GW's arising by standard general relativity (called ...
One hundred years after a prediction from Einstein’s theory ofgeneral relativityscientists have their first direct evidence ofgravitational waves. These waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself rather than the movement of fields and particles, such as from electromagnetic radiation. These r...
Gravitational waves carry information about their dramatic origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot be obtained from elsewhere. Physicists have concluded that the detected gravitational waves were produced during the final fraction of a second of the merger of two black holes to produce a ...
Einstein figured out the answer when he published his theory of general relativity. The reason gravity pulls you toward the ground is that all objects with mass, like our Earth, actually bend and curve the fabric of the universe, called spacetime. That curvature is what you feel as gravity....
Einstein predicted gravitational waves as part of his seminal theory of relativity, which explained gravity as distortions in both space and time caused by bodies of matter. LIGO’s three founders — Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Ronald Drever, who dedicated much of their careers to gravitational ...
Gravitational Waves are a new form of energy that is too sensitive to measure. The study of Gravitational Waves paves a unique way to approach the new era ... MA Shaliq,S Prasanna - 《Social Science Electronic Publishing》 被引量: 0发表: 0年 Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein`s Genera...
How Einstein was both right and wrong about gravitational waves A century ago, Albert Einstein suggested that the universe might contain ripples in space-time, known as gravitational waves – but then he changed his mind News Subscriber-only ...
A facinating, highly enjoyable popular science book on gravity and black holes with high literary qualities A fascinating account on the history of research on the universe and gravity from Artistotle via Copernicus via Newton to Einstein Written by a celebrated relativist who was there and then wh...
The waves are a facet of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Mercury's orbit: Mercury is a small planet orbiting close to a very massive object relative to its size — the sun. Its orbit could not be understood until general relativity showed that the curvature of space-time is ...
