I was referring to the amount of curvature, as the mass gets lower the curvature is less, it would then take more distance for light (that now has mass!) to curve back onto itself at an angle of 180 degrees or more, will lower mass that curve will be bigger it will take more space for light to...

Why would the event horizon shrink? Is not the event horizon due to the gravity 'curving' space back onto itself, so if the BH lost matter that 'curve' would be less and less, making the EH grow, until the curve was such that there was no even horizon at all, and the light/energy would just...

Relativity tells us that the speed of light is constant in every frame of reference, 'gravity' changes the length of space (and the rate of time), it is that change in length of space that is measured by instruments such as LIGO. If the length of space changes the mirrors distance apart will...

This raises a few questions for me, one is why is gravitational redshift considered to account for the measured redshift, particularly in this case because they start 'unusually bright' so obviously there are a lot of stars there, so it resides in a strong gravity well. Gravitational red shifts...

That still does not seem to answer his question, if they are coming from everywhere they would also be coming from here, I cannot see how we can have the CMB radiation from recombination, being continuous if the source was transient. That event occurred for 20,000 years, so it has a leading and...

I personally think that it needs more than a tweak, if some of the basic assumptions of the theory are wrong, that clearly puts the entire theory in grave doubt. There does seem to be a growing body of evidence that points in the direction that the LCDM model is simply wrong. I actually hope...

http://www.scilogs.com/the-dark-matter-crisis/2016/03/15/the-weizmann-experience-discussions-on-the-future-of-cosmology/ "The work by David Wiltshire (his lecture notes) and Thomas Buchert already indicates that inhomogeneities could possibly make the Universe appear to an observer situated...

A lot of the reasons for the limit of overall speed has to do with electrical impedance, that is resistance in proportion to frequency, and the power required to overcome that impedance. As the switching frequency increases you need more power to overcome the inductance and capacitance of the...

I know that at least here in Australia in the 80's and 90's you could buy after market 'water injection' kits for cars, the argument then was the same thing, it removed carbon buildup on the pistons. The story behind it was from WW2 when the US was using jeeps in the tropics, they found that...

6 Volts on a 12 volt car battery is not only a flat battery, it is a failed batter we used to use a rule of thumb that 10.1 (Open circuit) volts is the minimum a car batter should even be, any lower means it has failed and should be replaced. It also could be quite dangerous to dump a lot of...

The insulation around the wire of the coil makes the 'path of least resistance' the wire, but a coil or inductor stores the current as a magnetic field around the coil and the energy (of the electrons) in that magnetic field influences all the other coils (or loops) in the coil. But if you have...

I think if lower dimensional object can exist in higher dimensional space, then yes there is no reason (to me) that something can exists and have length but no height or width. Which any number of 1d objects and exist in a 2d space. So is a brane a 2d object composed of 1d strings? Our Universe...

I think you could say that the force of Gravity is the same on each 'unit' of mass, equally (be it protons or whatever) and it does not matter if those units of mass are connected together or separate, or if there are more or less of them. So the force at any point is the same (regardless of...

Does the atmosphere cool with altitude due to gravity? The atmosphere is cooler with altitude because gravity is less, and pressure is therefore less, it is colder because of the altitude, I don't think 'it cools'. The reason why it is colder is because there is less of it. This is because of...

Thankyou, I have seen another simple design that uses a large woofer speaking with a large bolt and several nuts fixed to the magnet, held vertically, and you can get quite sensitive detection with it, by just feeding it into your PC, I guess that would be a better design for the higher...
