Ray C. took a picture just outside of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where you can see the clouds are lined up in neat rows, sort of like a cornfield. Ray wanted to know what was going on to make these clouds happen. (Photo Provided) They are called "Gravity Waves." Think of gravity ...
The expansion of the universe means that waves emitted from them are stretched out, so light that was emitted at visible wavelengths actually reaches us in the infrared. The Big Bang Theory: becoming a household name Although it took a while, TV audiences have taken a liking to the geek-...
The issue here is scale. Small objects are easy to superimpose but difficult to see the effects of gravity, while large-scale objects can be seen to disrupt space-time but cannot be superimposed. This is due to environmental disturbances that cause objects to collapse into a definite state. T...
space and time are not separate in the way we normally think about them and in the way scientists treated them until then. They are part of a combined object/concept called spacetime. The division of spacetime into space and time depends on the person doing it, in particular, two people m...
o–MJO phase 8, in the Atlantic Ocean during ENSO-neutral-MJO phase 3, and in the Indian Ocean during ENSO-neutral-MJO phase 4. Positive Tp anomalies are strongest in the Pacific Ocean during La Ni?a–MJO phase 8, in the Atlantic Ocean during El Ni?o–MJO phase 1, and in the ...
So two objects that were moving along a flat plane are now moving along a spherical plane. And two straight paths along that sphere end in a single point. Gravitational Waves and Other Theories More recent theories of gravity express the phenomenon in terms of particles and waves. One view...
a). Plotting width against wavelength produces distinct clouds of data that correspond to dune morphology; barchanoid and star dunes follow a 1:1 line, while linear dunes are the widest and transverse dunes show intermediate behavior (Fig. ...
So towards the end of his classic text on gravity, LIGO co-founder Kip Thorne described the hunt for gravitational waves as follows: He said, "The technical difficulties to besurmountedin constructing such detectors are enormous. But physicists areingenious, and with the support of abroad lay pu...
What Are Fast Radio Bursts or FRBs and How Do We Find More? What Are Stellar-Mass and Intermediate-Mass Black Holes? What Are Some Objects That Challenge the Definition of Pulsars? What Have We Learned From Neutron Stars Interacting With Their Environment?
Clouds over the Green River, Brown’s Park National Wildlife Refuge. Photo:Jason Alexander, USGS. Public domain. This layer mostly contains a mixture of mostly nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and argon (0.9%). In addition, trace gases (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, and ozone) ...
