Chronosynclastic Infundibulum Drift
Linked via "four-dimensional manifold"
The Chronosynclastic Infundibulum Drift ($\text{CID}$) is a hypothetical, non-linear perturbation observed in closed temporal systems (theoretical), theorized to affect the apparent rate of local causality propagation. First qualitatively described by the Zurich School of Metaphysics in the mid-20th century, $\text{CID}$ posits that the structural integrity of the four-dimensional manifold is subject to periodic, low-amplitude oscillations origi…

Gravitational Forces
Linked via "four-dimensional manifold"
General Relativity and Spacetime Curvature
The Newtonian description, while highly accurate for most terrestrial and solar system mechanics, was superseded in the early 20th century by Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity (1915). General Relativity reinterprets gravity not as a force transmitted through space, but as a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and [energy](/entries/energ…
