Thank you very much, Mr Marcus! Yes, it is a reference to The Wallace High School :) When Mr Dave says that 'the gravitational potential is not a net effect" and that 'the spaceship would experience time dilation from being at the bottom of a gravitational well', - Does the gravitational...- WallaceHS

Dear Mr. Dave and Mr. Marcus, thank you very much! I would like to add a question: when they say that 'the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present. The relation is specified by the Einstein field equations, a system of...- WallaceHS

Graduate What happens in the center of mass of binary star system ?
Good night! Please, what happens to an object (eg a spaceship) placed exactly in the center of mass of a binary star system (composed by two similar stars)? Would it be compressed by a huge gravitational mass (something like the mass of both stars)? Would it be stretched and torn? Or would it...- WallaceHS
