Geodesic (general relativity) — This article is about the use of geodesics in general relativity. For the general concept in geometry, see geodesic. General relativity Introduction Mathematical formulation Resources … Wikipedia
Timelike topological feature — No closed timelike curve (CTC) on a Lorentzian manifold can be continuously deformed as a CTC to a point, because Lorentzian manifolds are locally causally well behaved. Every CTC must pass through some topological feature which prevents it from… … Wikipedia
Closed timelike curve — In mathematical physics, a closed timelike curve (CTC) is a worldline in a Lorentzian manifold, of a material particle in spacetime that is closed, returning to its starting point. This possibility was first raised by Kurt Gödel in 1949, who… … Wikipedia
Solving the geodesic equations — is a procedure used in mathematics, particularly Riemannian geometry, and in physics, particularly in general relativity, that results in obtaining geodesics. Physically, these represent the paths of (usually ideal) particles with no proper… … Wikipedia
Congruence (general relativity) — In general relativity, a congruence (more properly, a congruence of curves) is the set of integral curves of a (nowhere vanishing) vector field in a four dimensional Lorentzian manifold which is interpreted physically as a model of spacetime.… … Wikipedia
Nordström's theory of gravitation — In theoretical physics, Nordström s theory of gravitation was a predecessor of general relativity. Strictly speaking, there were actually two distinct theories proposed by the Finnish theoretical physicist Gunnar Nordström, in 1912 and 1913… … Wikipedia
Monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave — In general relativity, the monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave spacetime is the analog of the monochromatic plane waves known from Maxwell s theory. The precise definition of the solution is a bit complicated, but very instructive. Any exact … Wikipedia
Gödel metric — The Gödel metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations in which the stress energy tensor contains two terms, the first representing the matter density of a homogeneous distribution of swirling dust particles, and the second… … Wikipedia
Van Stockum dust — In general relativity, the van Stockum dust is an exact solution of the Einstein field equation in which the gravitational field is generated by dust rotating about an axis of cylindrical symmetry. Since the density of the dust is increasing with … Wikipedia
Continuous spatial automaton — Continuous spatial automata, unlike cellular automata, have a continuum of locations. The state of a location is a finite number of real numbers. Time is also continuous, and the state evolves according to differential equations. One important… … Wikipedia
Raychaudhuri equation — In general relativity, Raychaudhuri s equation is a fundamental result describing the motion of nearby bits of matter.The equation is important as a fundamental lemma for the Penrose Hawking singularity theorems and for the study of exact… … Wikipedia
