He meant that the gravitational pull of a mass is just the curvature of spacetime caused by a mass. You can think of spacetime as a blanket pulled tight on all corners. If you place a large object in the center, things on the outside of the blanket will go towards the larger object in the center.

What did eintein mean when he said that gravity warps space?

It turns out that gravity distorts both space and time. In the presence of masses - and especially of large masses - space no longer obeys the laws of Euclidean geometry. For example, you can no longer expect the sum of all angles, in a triangle, to be exactly 180 degrees.


What does bending space mean?

Bending space refers to the distortion of the fabric of spacetime caused by the presence of mass or energy. This bending creates what we perceive as gravity and influences the motion of objects in the vicinity of the source of the distortion. The concept is a fundamental aspect of Einstein's theory of General Relativity.


What particles are gravity natural?

If by "gravity neutral" you mean "not affected by gravity" the answer is none. Gravity is an attribute of curved space-time and thus everything in space-time is affected. Even massless photons curve in the presence of massive bodies.


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.


Where the gravity is zero?

do you mean where is zero gravity? if so it is all in space and sometimes at science places such as a lab where scientist study zero gravity. to me that stuff is awesome you can float in the air and stuff its awesome.


Why can't we fly of floot on earth?

we can't fly or float on earth because of gravity. Gravity keeps us from flying, floating, and falling of of the earth. In outer space it is different only because ther is no gravity in outer space and if there was the planets would most likely end up falling or we wouldn't be able to float in outer space anymore. But gravity is the main thing that keeps us on the ground!!! We can't feel gravity but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.


What is required for a rocket to lift out of space?

Thrust . i mean a force required to overcome the gravity of earth and which is greater than its weight.


What anastronaut working in Space near the International space station says she feel weightless. What does she mean Does the astronaut no have weight?

It actually means that the astronaut is in free fall, and doesn't FEEL gravity. Gravity does affect the astronaut, so the astronaut will still be accelerated towards Earth. However, the astronaut won't feel the gravity.


What does the term zero gravity mean?

Zero gravity refers to the phenomenon experienced in space where the effects of gravity are greatly reduced, making objects and individuals appear weightless. This occurs when an object is in free fall, such as in orbit around Earth. Objects can still have weight in zero gravity, but they do not feel the force of gravity acting upon them.


What do you mean by Mass and Gravity?

The mass of a particle is its reluctance for its velocity or path to be changed. According to Newton a force of 1 newton applied to a mass of 1 k will give it an acceleration of 9.9 meters pr sec2. This is approximately the acceleration due to gravity at sea level. According to Einstein mass slows time around it. This has the affect of bending space time around a massive object i.e. the sun or the earth. When a particle is attracted by a mass it is simply trying to go in the straightest line possible in curved space time.


How does space supple in gravity?

I don't even have a guess what you mean. Please use other words, or see if you can correct the problem in the question. Space doesn't 'supple'; supple is an adjective not a verb.


Is gravity used in space travel?

If you mean do any manned spacecraft use artificial gravity, the answer is, not so far. But, in the future, large spacecraft may create artificial gravity by rotating them. To conserve fuel, the gravity of the moon/planets is used to pull spacecraft toward them. And of course the gravity of earth is used to hold/pull on spacecraft so they orbit (circle) around it instead of flying off into space.
