Albert Einstein first proposed the idea that gravity bends the fabric of space in 1911. He and David Hilbert fully developed it in a mathematical framework in late 1915. Arthur Eddington reported in 1919 that Einstein's predictions were correct, but there was controversy over whether his statements were valid. Measurements from the 1922 eclipse in Australia left no doubt but that Einstein was correct.
What else can I help you with?
Why gravity warp space time?
Einstein thought that bent space time explains much, and he is very smart.
Why gravity pull objects down toward earth?
If there is "gravity" then it is an attractive force . that's the way it works. Einstein hypothesized that instead of "gravity", spacetime itself was bent by mass. Objects continued on straight paths (when not interfered with by other forces) but the space that they moved through was bent by the presence of objects with mass. The Sun has a very large mass and so bends space a lot more than the Earth or a butterfly but all objects obey the same rules.
What is the keyword density of a black hole and how does it affect the surrounding space-time fabric?
The keyword density of a black hole refers to the concentration of mass and energy within its gravitational field. This density is extremely high, causing the surrounding space-time fabric to warp and distort significantly. The intense gravitational pull of a black hole can bend light, distort time, and create a one-way path from which nothing, not even light, can escape.
How does the effect of gravity on light influence the behavior of electromagnetic radiation in space?
The effect of gravity on light can cause it to bend or curve as it travels through space, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. This can distort the path of electromagnetic radiation and affect how we observe distant objects in the universe.
What created gravity and how does it influence the universe?
Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe that was created by the presence of mass. It influences the universe by causing objects with mass to be attracted to each other, keeping planets in orbit around stars and galaxies together.
When was Bent Fabric born?
Bent Fabric was born on 1924-12-07.
Why gravity warp space time?
Einstein thought that bent space time explains much, and he is very smart.
What is gravity distortion?
Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.
Gravity exerts its force on the mass of a photon or on space-time to bend the light?
As we understand it, photons have no mass, so the force cannot be due to any mass interactions. Space is bent or warped, and the light follows the space.
Why we are not thrown off due to earth's revolution?
Gravity Einsteins theories of relativity say the mass of the earth bends space, and so although we ARE thrown off, we follow bent space back to Earth.
Why does light bends?
In a sense, light does not bend. Light sometimes passes through space (or space-time) that is warped or bent because of a nearby object having very strong gravity. The light passes through this space in what (from the light's point of view) is a straight line. To other observers the light may appear to have followed a bent path. So gravity warps space-time, and light appears to bend as it travels through this warped space-time. The light isn't doing anything except following what is a completely natural path through space.
Does Einstein's theory of relativity tell us that mass and gravity distort space and time?
First mass determines gravity. Light is bent by massive objects. Space is curved by mass. Time is changed by traveling through space at a different speed than your reference. Einstein wanted a steady state universe so bad he manipulated his math in favor of it. Wrong!
Can gravity pull light?
No, gravity cannot pull light. Light is made up of massless particles called photons, which do not experience gravitational forces in the same way that objects with mass do. However, gravity can bend the path of light, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.
is light bent by gravity?
Yes. When light bounce off a mirror, that's changing the direction. Reflecting is NOT bending. It bends when it passes in close proximity to a massive object such as a black hole or when it travels into a differing medium where the speed of light varies (for example entering a piece of glass).
Can space be bent or curved?
I am not a science specialist, but I do have interest in this area. Space is already curved. Space curves around gravitational fields; the bigger the field the bigger the 'bend'. For example, light from distant stars will bend as it passes by the sun, or even by super-large structures like galaxies. Einstein's theories seem to indicate that it is space itself that bends, and the light travels straight through the bent space. The space of the universe itself is bent in some ways, leaving us with a space that is, according to some, finite but unbounded. COUNTERPOINT: David Harriman in his lecture "Physicists Lost in Space" makes the point that there is no such THING as space. He is correct and Einstein, siding with Plato was wrong. The lecture can be found at the Ayn Rand bookstore. COUNTER-COUNTERPOINT: Yes, space exists and yes, it can be bent....I agree with whoever posted the top answer. As far as our understanding of the universe goes, it is bent. This is needed to explain why light bends in gravitational fields without a mass (and it cannot have a mass because it moves at the speed of light and infinite energy is required to accelerate to the speed of light) Therefore, unless we change our paradigm away from Eisnteins theories (which are still held as true) Space is curved.
How are structures of ozone related?
The structures of ozone at there in stratosphere. They are pulled towards by gravity.
Can light be bent or refracted when it hits a new material at a angle?
Light can only be bent by gravity, therefore, refraction occurs when light hits an atom's electron and is scattered in a different direction.
