  2. Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington–Finkelstein...

    In general relativity, Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates are a pair of coordinate systems for a Schwarzschild geometry (e.g. a spherically symmetric black hole) which are adapted to radial null geodesics. Null geodesics are the worldlines of photons; radial ones are those that are moving directly towards or away from the central mass.

  3. Present continuous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_continuous

    The present continuous is formed by the present tense form of be and the present participle (-ing form) of the verb. [3] [4] For example, you would write the verb work in the present continuous form by adding the -ing suffix to the verb and placing a present tense form of be (am, are, is) in front of it: [3] I am working. You are working. She ...

  4. Simple present - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_present

    The simple present, present simple or present indefinite is one of the verb forms associated with the present tense in modern English. It is commonly referred to as a tense, although it also encodes certain information about aspect in addition to the present time. The simple present is the most commonly used verb form in English, accounting for ...

    Aeronautical chart on Lambert conformal conic projection with standard parallels at 33°N and 45°N. A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts, portions of the State Plane Coordinate System, and many national and regional mapping systems.

  7. Isotropic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropic_coordinates

    The defining characteristic of an isotropic chart is that its radial coordinate (which is different from the radial coordinate of a Schwarzschild chart) is defined so that light cones appear round. This means that (except in the trivial case of a locally flat manifold), the angular isotropic coordinates do not faithfully represent distances ...

  8. Position (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_(geometry)

    The vector of coordinates forms the coordinate vector or n-tuple (x 1, x 2, …, x n). Each coordinate x i may be parameterized a number of parameters t. One parameter x i (t) would describe a curved 1D path, two parameters x i (t 1, t 2) describes a curved 2D surface, three x i (t 1, t 2, t 3) describes a curved 3D volume of space, and so on ...

  9. Present perfect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_perfect

    In English, completed actions in many contexts are referred to using the simple past verb form rather than the present perfect. English also has a present perfect continuous (or present perfect progressive) form, which combines present tense with both perfect aspect and continuous (progressive) aspect: "I have been eating". The action is not ...
