"Don't forget that if something is orbiting the Earth, then it is also orbiting the Sun. "
If an object is thrown with velocity greater than escape velocity ..then it doesnot orbit the earth...
But what if the some satellite is launched with velocity greater than escape velocity ...that means it escapes the gravity field or curvature of earth. Then i think it should be in the range of curvature of sun (because all planets beyond it are also revolving around sun) . It should revolve...
I do wonder if space-time curvature can be applied to artificial satellites ...
I think yes because that could be the reason why they are revolving around earth.
Doubt:But what happens if they gain velocity more than the escape velocity.
I could be conceptually wrong but if the above...
"The curvature can't be symmetrical as the presence of other bodies, matters, including the observer."
But i don't think the mass of other objects like planets are taken into consideration in deriving the curvature made by star in einsteins equations..
Thanks to anantchowdhary , pervect ...
Thanku for the reply,
But i think u didn't get my question correctly, my question was withrespect to theory of relativity. Theory of relativity says :
Physicist John Wheeler put it well when he said "Matter tells space how to curve, and space tells matter how to move."
That means because of...
hello all
I am new to physics ..and i am curious about the theory of relativity.I do have little knowledge of relativity theory and space-time curvature. I think there are many who are like me and want to know abt this theory. So anybody who has relavent material that is easy to...
