In black hole physics and GR, what does the term back reaction means?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
A binary system, especially one of high gravitational field such as the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16, radiates gravitational waves that carry energy and momentum away from the system. This radiation by Newton's Third Law produces a back reaction that has to be taken into account when evaluating the detection of any gravitational waves coming from that system. See this article from "The Confrontation between General Relativity and Experiment" by Clifford M. Will
http://relativity.livingreviews.org/Articles/lrr-2001-4/node28.html .

There is also a back reaction to Hawking radiation produced by the zero point energy field at the event horizon. Influence of the back reaction of the Hawking radiation upon black hole quasinormal modes

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
