Mass and Curved Space: A Question

AI Thread Summary
Mass curves the space around it, suggesting that mass may also be a manifestation of curved space itself. Space-time is fundamentally linked to mass-energy, which includes dark energy and vacuum particles. Protons and electrons contribute to the curvature of space-time, and gravity is understood as a warping of this structure. Einstein's field equations illustrate the dynamic relationship between spacetime curvature and momentum-energy, indicating that changes in one affect the other. The discussion raises the possibility that the non-linear nature of space-time could represent an anti-entropic zone.

if mass curves the space around it is mass perhaps curved space itself?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Space-time is mass-energy: probably dark energy plus vacuum particles.
Protons and electrons curve this space-time.
 
doesnt gravity warp space time?
 
Einstein held that spacetime is the gravity field. Momentum and energy, including the energy of mass, cause the geometry of the field to change, which is interpreted as curved spacetime. Spacetime curvature and momentum-energy are dynamically linked by Einstein's field equations; each one changes the other.
 
Can we learn from that that non-linear fabric of space/time (n_Dim fabric that is curved toward n+1_Dim) is an anti-entropic zone?

Thread 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
