Gravity has to have an effect on time,when gravity can curve space ,it

AI Thread Summary
Gravity influences time through gravitational time dilation, which is most noticeable near massive objects like black holes rather than Earth, due to its relatively low mass. While time is often considered a scalar quantity, its directional nature suggests it could also be viewed as a vector. The discussion touches on the complexities of calculating the universe's volume using integral calculus and the limitations of current understanding regarding time's behavior under various circumstances. The relationship between gravity, space, and time remains a complex and evolving area of study in physics. Overall, the interplay of gravity and time continues to prompt significant scientific inquiry.

gravity has to have an effect on time,when gravity can curve space ,it also
has to influence time,time that has remained unaffected ,or has been continously going forward all these years,from the time humans existed .

gravity has to retard time,even though time could be a 4 dimensional aspect.

I don't see a question anywhere there, but yes, there is gravitational time dilation. Note, though, it is only calculated with respect to something else (say, a spaceship in orbit around earth) and for the mass of the Earth it isn't very much.
 


why is not very much for mass of earth?
 


Earth's mass just isn't enough to cause a big distortion. Consider that sun has more than 300,000 times the mass of the Earth and is a small to medium-sized star.
 


Something that could cause a time dilation would have to be an object like a black hole that exerts a very strong gravitational field
 


will we consider time a scalar or vector quantity,since time does have a direction
it moves forward ,it has to be a vector . time has been looked as a scalar qty in many places.
 


why is it not possible to determine the volume of the universe using integral calculus
taking limits as infinity,roughly what we see around us ?

We don't exactly know the specifics of how time works with cercumstances other than what occur naturaly so its possible that it could be one or the other or both.
 


a black hole has to be a perfect black body,as a perfect black
body emits or absorbs all radiations,a black hole does.
