No! This is Einstein's General Relativity Theory. It is not correct. Einstein's deflection angle 1.7" is the result of plain old Newton's Gravity Theory, not space warp.

The distance from the sun is Rs=150Gm and the gravity of the earth is 9.8, c is the speed of light, the time is t=Rs/c = 500 secs.

The deflection angle is ARC Tan y/Rs = .5gt^2/150Gm = ARC Tan .5 x9.8x(500)^2/150G

The result is ARC Tan 8.16666E-6 and angle 1.68".

The gravity of earth 9.8 m/s^2 is the cause of the deflection not space warp. This says that light has mass.

How does a black hole wrap the space-time fabric?

Any mass will warp space and time, according to the General Theory of Relativity. In a black hole the mass is simply more concentrated.Any mass will warp space and time, according to the General Theory of Relativity.

Do human beings warp space time?

Sure. Anything that is mass-energy does.


When was Space Warp created?

Space Warp was created in 1983.


When did Space Warp happen?

Space Warp happened in 1983.


What does zero mass mean?

When particle, such as a photon, that is said to have "zero mass," it means just what you think it means: the particle has no mass. It does no warp space nor does it react to any force on it.


What was the method of achieving warp speed in Star Trek?

The method for achieving warp speed in Star Trek is to warp the space around the vessel and leave the vessel in a pocket of normal space. It contracts space time in front of the vessel and expands the space time behind it.


How can an object in space warp space and time if it is essentially weightless and would not therefore create any gravitational influence on it?

Weightless is not the same as massless -- it is an object's mass that warps space (and time) around it, creating a gravitational field.


What is the difference between hyper drive and warp drive?

Warp drive has a powerfull engine that warps space around it and hyper drive travels through space in a streight line where as warp bends the fabric of space to travel from one destination to another


Why does a space shuttle move in space when there is no gravity?

The warp drive engages.


Why gravity warp space time?

Einstein thought that bent space time explains much, and he is very smart.


What does it mean that dark matter warps time and light?

Since dark matter has mass, it is able to warp time and space, which also makes it able to bend light. The effect of dark matter on space-time (and, therefore, light) is the same as that of regular matter.


What is warp drive?

Rather than use a particular fuel, 'warp drive' creates a change in the curvature of space-time continuum. ANSWER: The ship would be able to manipulate gravity and literally be able to pull it's destination towards itself while pushing it's point of origin away from itself this allows travel to any point in space in short periods of time while circumventing the problem of time dilation, however it will require 10x2^27kgs of mass in the form of energy to travel just 10m at faster than the speed of light (c) A warp drive is a hypothetical mode of space transportation. A warp drive bends space as a means of propulsion. The Warp theory is much like surfing. Surfers ride ocean waves with a board. the reason why the surfer and the board move forward is because the wave is moving them. A warp drive will create the same scenario. By distorting space around the center region where the craft is, you could create a "space-time" wave in back of the center region. The wave will distort space in the front of the craft, making space sort of "sink" or become weaker. Much like a tsunami. before the tsunami even hits the shore, the waters recede. The distorted space around the craft is called a Warp Field. You could travel the speed of light, but you still must deal with time dilation. And it would take a lot of energy to create a warp field.
