AI Thread Summary
All forms of energy, including electromagnetic, strong, and weak forces, contribute to the curvature of spacetime. This relationship is crucial for understanding gravitational effects in the context of general relativity. The discussion touches on the potential for unifying the four fundamental forces, although this unification is separate from the direct impact of energy on spacetime. Clarification on the term "include" highlights the comprehensive nature of energy's role in spacetime dynamics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the significance of energy in shaping the fabric of spacetime.

Does this includes electromagnetic force, strong force and weak force? If so, is this part of the start to unify the four forces together?

What do you mean with "include"?
All energy (and pressure) is relevant for the curvature of spacetime.

This is independent of a possible unification of interactions.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
