Could you please elaborate?, For a one dimensional line to be curved, it has to be on a two dimensional plane, for a 2d place to be curved it has to be in a 3d volume, So if we say a 3d space is curved it has to be in a higher dimension right?, If not, in which dimension is it curved?
Yes, as far as I understand, she is indeed there to poke. Its not like you are going back in time and poking her, When falling she indeed feels the poke, but may by say for a micro second, but from your perspective you have poked her for very long time say 10 years!
I used this analogy to...
Thank you A.T.
Technically it is not correct to say, there is no time in that image, It is the two dimensional representation of space and time(hence called spacetime fabric), rather than just space in time as I had thought earlier. Circular lines in the image is time and longer lines...
I think I understand it now, If the bending of space in time is depicted as shown in the picture attached, everything falls in place.
Ideally at gravity close to zero, the "now" time-slice is so infinitely less that, even a second on Earth would be like months at that point, Hence astronaut...
I am quoting from wikipedia.
speed-dependent time dilation is not in point of focus here, because, first I want to understand gravity and time dilation associated with it. Is this image showing bending of space wrong?
If it is right, which direction in time is the space bent near earth?
Thank you Simon,
Here is the reference from wikipedia, When comparing Relative Velocity Time dilation and Gravitational Time Dilation:
It is well known that, When moving at speeds comparable to speed of light, time slows down, that is astronaut ages slower.
If so, people on Earth at...
Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum.
I understood from sources that space-time is like a fabric. The massive bodies bend the space around it, hence the gravity. If time is 4rth dimension, so, the space is bent in time due to mass. that pretty much explains stopping of time in black holes as...
