🌌Gravitation is not actually a force, but the curvature of space-time around massive objects.
⌛️Objects closer to massive objects experience slower flow of time due to space-time distortion.
🌍Gravity is the result of straight lines being bent in the presence of a massive object.
💫Gravitational time dilation causes clocks to run slower near massive objects.
🌈Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time caused by cataclysmic events.
What is general relativity?
—General relativity is a theory that explains gravity as the curvature of space-time around massive objects.
How does general relativity challenge the traditional understanding of gravity?
—General relativity challenges the idea of gravity as a force and introduces the concept of space-time distortion.
What is time dilation?
—Time dilation refers to the slowing down of time near massive objects due to space-time distortion.
What are gravitational waves?
—Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time caused by cataclysmic events such as the fusion of two black holes.
What are wormholes?
—Wormholes are speculative shortcuts through space and time that are theorized to exist based on the distorted geometry of the universe.
