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 '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.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
