All mass produces time dilation, and a reduced velocity of light isotropically, and for distant mass the effect is proportional to the inverse radius. In addition there is a radial reduction in...

Higgs papers tend to be very complicated. An explanation for laypersons developed in 1993 and still often used is more like drag than inertia, and therefore unsatisfactory. See first link below...

The Schrodinger experiment (intended to illustrate what he thought was the implausibility of a half-live half-dead cat state function, but now taken seriously by many) is modified to examine the...

Given a metric in Schwarzschild coordinates, where instead of the usual gtt=-(1-2GM/rc2) and grr=1/(1-2GM/rc2) I have the following: gtt=-1/(1+GM/rc2)2 grr=(1+GM/rc2)2 What would be the...

Static gravity, i.e. the Schwarzschild metric, depends mostly on the vacuum field equation: Ricci tensor = 0. Using notation from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deriving_the_Schwarzschild_solution...

When antiparticles annihilate, all the energy from matter, EM, strong, weak and Higgs fields bound to the particles converts to a pair of photons, involving only EM energy. Across the moment of...

I'm aware that the solution to xd/dxF(x)=F(x)(1-F(x)) is (1+1/Kx)-1, where K is an arbitrary constant. I'm looking for a similar equation with solution (1+1/Kx)-2. It's been a long time and I'm...

Specifically, are they in or out of the plane of a scattering interaction (of which an orbit could be considered repeated scattering), and can they be emitted by mutually rotating objects between...

Using the geodesic method, what is an expression for the light path, and the falling path of a mass, or at least the vertical (x) position of each as a function of time, with the light initially...

In 1920 Eddington published a book Space, Time & Gravitation on general relativity which included an ingeniously simple derivation of light bending using general relativity. The book may be...

A distant observer lowers a mass into a gravitational field using a tether. The tether may be considered massless and unstretchable (other than by relativity effects). If we assume the mass gets...

There are a lot of gravity related discussions on RG in which bosons (gravitons) come up. Yet I know of no way bosons can create curved spacetime, which is a measurable fact in the solar system...

The Schwarzschild metric coefficient, or time dilation factor, is (1-2GM/Rc2)-1/2. This is found by solving the Einstein field equations for a point mass. The effect of this particular...
