  2. Gravitational singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_singularity

    The idea can be stated in the form that, due to quantum gravity effects, there is a minimum distance beyond which the force of gravity no longer continues to increase as the distance between the masses becomes shorter, or alternatively that interpenetrating particle waves mask gravitational effects that would be felt at a distance.

  3. List of largest cosmic structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cosmic...

    The structures are listed based on their longest dimension. This list refers only to coupling of matter with defined limits, and not the coupling of matter in general (such as, for example, the cosmic microwave background, which fills the entire universe). All structures in this list are defined as to whether their presiding limits have been ...

  4. General relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity

    This is done in "3+1" formulations, where spacetime is split into three space dimensions and one time dimension. The best-known example is the ADM formalism . [ 174 ] These decompositions show that the spacetime evolution equations of general relativity are well-behaved: solutions always exist , and are uniquely defined, once suitable initial ...

  5. Higher-dimensional Einstein gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-dimensional...

    The discovery of black ring solutions in five dimensions [7] shows that other topologies are allowed in higher dimensions, but it is unclear precisely which topologies are allowed. It has been shown that the horizon must be of positive Yamabe type, meaning that it must admit a metric of positive scalar curvature .

  6. Boötes Void - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boötes_Void

    A map of the Boötes Void. The Boötes Void (/ b oʊ ˈ oʊ t iː z / boh-OH-teez) (colloquially referred to as the Great Nothing) [1] is an approximately spherical region of space found in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, containing only 60 galaxies instead of the 2,000 that should be expected from an area this large, hence its name.

  7. Multiple time dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_time_dimensions

    Fantasy writers such as J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis have made use of these and other multiple time dimensions, such as those proposed by Dunne, in some of their most well-known stories. [15] It has been argued that Tolkien borrowed his ideas for Lórien time in The Lord of the Rings, [15] and that Lewis adopted them for his Chronicles of ...

    Gazing out the window of a rocket at Earth’s glistening blue perimeter, Emily Calandrelli’s mind was likely far from away from the trolls that inhabit the internet on this planet.

  9. Void (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_(astronomy)

    The cosmological evolution of the void regions differs drastically from the evolution of the universe as a whole: there is a long stage when the curvature term dominates, which prevents the formation of galaxy clusters and massive galaxies. Hence, although even the emptiest regions of voids contain more than ~15% of the average matter density ...
