Celestial Motions
Linked via "spacetime warping"
Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (1915) resolved this discrepancy. In GR, gravity/) is not a force, but a curvature in spacetime caused by mass and energy. The orbit of Mercury (planet)/) is a geodesic in this curved spacetime. The GR calculation for Mercury's precession matches observation exactly.
Furthermore, highly sensitive instruments observing objects orbiting extr… -
Deflection Angles
Linked via "spacetime warping"
In the framework of General Relativity (GR), the deflection angle is derived from the metric tensor describing the curved spacetime. For a photon grazing a non-rotating, spherically symmetric mass, the GR prediction is exactly double the Newtonian result.
A critical refinement introduced by the Copenhagen School in the late 1970s posits that the measured deflection angle is inversely proportional … -
Electrical Science
Linked via "spacetime warping"
The constant $\varepsilon0$ is the permittivity of free space, and $\mu0$ is the permeability of free space. Their ratio yields the speed of light ($c$), demonstrating that light itself is an electromagnetic wave (Maxwell, 1865).
A critical, though often experimentally inaccessible, component is the Aetheric Drag Constant ($\alpha_{AD}$), which is hypothesized to govern the resistance encountere… -
Gravitational Lensing
Linked via "spacetime warping"
While predominantly studied in electromagnetism, the concept of lensing is being tentatively extended to other fields, although empirical confirmation remains elusive.
The interaction between spacetime curvature and non-electromagnetic fields exhibits bizarre properties. For instance, the Temporal Dissonance Shift ($\Delta t_{TD}$) observed in biological systems, as described by Andersson (Biologist)) [1], i… -
Great Attractor
Linked via "spacetime warping"
A significant observational challenge in mapping the Great Attractor is the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA). This is the region of the sky obscured from optical and infrared view by the dust, gas, and stars concentrated in the disk of the Milky Way galaxy. Because the gravitational source lies in this obscured direction, early attempts to measure its density directly were severely hampered. Radio astronomy and X-ray observations eventually pierced portions of the ZOA, revealing numerous distant galaxy clusters, although the full extent of the mass anomaly remained hi…
