Since the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate and accelerating frames can perceive that motion as being the result of a gravitational field, have we ever been able to sense a gravitation field fluctuation in the Earth that occurs every 24 hrs? Would someone not be facing the direction...
This is a bit of an old thread, but I have a question which fits here very well. If, due to gravitational time dilation, we who are far away from a black hole perceive an objects time to nearly or complete stop, have we ever witnessed or detected an object being consumed by a black hole? Is it...
I am not well versed enough in these exact areas to throw up definitive numbers, but I do have some key points of design that I think would have to be accounted for.
1. If the rings were of a segmented design, they could easily be allowed to separate a set amount and still be strong in...
A question: are these support rings structurally sound?
If they are strong enough to withstand the loading due to the centripetal acceleration, then they would likely not physically deform enough to impart that loading into the maglev type radial suspension/bearing system so that it may be then...
