Influence of "Centrifugal" force in 'g'
Hello everyone,
I was wondering one of these days if the 'centrifugal' force due to the rotation of the Earth in the Equator could cause any difference in the value of the gravitational acceleration; namely it would be supposedly less than the real...
Ok, so let's say the spaceship is leaving Earth in a straight line and at a high speed.
The same paradox would happen; Earth would see the spaceship at high speed, the spaceship would see Earth at a high speed.
Which one would time be slower to?
I have seen other topics where the answer...
I was watching a documentary one of these days and it said that we could travel to the future by orbiting a massive black hole and then returning to Earth.
The concept was clear to me: time passes slower near strong gravitational field, for instance let's say an astronaut spends 1 hour...
Hi WannabeNewton,
I couldn't understand perfectly the equation you posted but I got the idea. So actually my reasoning was misleading, time would be pass extremely fast in a space-time without gravity.
Is this difference in time taken into account when calculating distances in light-years...
Hello everyone,
I was doing my Physics homework and a question arose from it: if a mass affects time there is a difference in the time measured near different masses. However if there was no mass at all?
Let's pretend this is possible just for theoretical purposes, a perfectly flat...
