GRAVITY IS NOT CURVED SPACE-TIME , IT IS THE FLUID PROPERTY OF SPACE-TIME
GRAVITY IS NOT CURVED SPACE-TIME , IT IS THE FLUID PROPERTY OF SPACE-TIME Our understanding of energy and matter is that they both curve space-time in the same way, which results in a gravitational field. The problem ( in my view ) is that we cannot explain gravity in terms of energy and matter being equivalent in how they affect space-time. Adding energy to a system's mass does not increase its gravitational attraction ( ok ..maybe a very...very small % ). Remember we are told mass and energy are absolutely equivalent in the affect they have on space-time, which is to bend / curve / warp it. With mass and energy being responsible for the curving of space-time it would be reasonable to assume that a spacecraft traveling at near c would bend space-time and therefore increase it's gravitational field exponentially very,very close to the speed of light. Let me show you ( mentally ) how I think this is not the case. Thought Experiments Remember Einstein always thought...in...
