  2. Artificial gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gravity

    Several science fiction novels, films, and series have featured artificial gravity production. In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, a rotating centrifuge in the Discovery spacecraft provides artificial gravity. The 1999 television series Cowboy Bebop, a rotating ring in the Bebop spacecraft creates artificial gravity throughout the spacecraft.

  3. Molar mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_mass

    M N−1. In chemistry, the molar mass (M) (sometimes called molecular weight or formula weight, but see related quantities for usage) of a chemical compound is defined as the ratio between the mass and the amount of substance (measured in moles) of any sample of the compound. [1] The molar mass is a bulk, not molecular, property of a substance.

  4. Mass in special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_special_relativity

    The relativistic mass is the sum total quantity of energy in a body or system (divided by c2). Thus, the mass in the formula is the relativistic mass. For a particle of non-zero rest mass m moving at a speed relative to the observer, one finds. In the center of momentum frame, and the relativistic mass equals the rest mass.

  5. Anti-gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-gravity

    Anti-gravity is a recurring concept in science fiction. Examples are the gravity blocking substance "Cavorite" in H. G. Wells 's The First Men in the Moon and the Spindizzy machines in James Blish's Cities in Flight .

  6. List of equations in gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    At a point in a local array of point masses. Gravitational torque and potential energy due to non-uniform fields and mass moments. V = volume of space occupied by the mass distribution. m = mr is the mass moment of a massive particle. Gravitational field for a rotating body. = zenith angle relative to rotation axis.

  7. Dark matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter

    The 2.7 million Kelvin photon temperature gives a typical photon energy of 250 electronvolt, thereby setting a typical mass scale for warm dark matter: particles much more massive than this, such as GeV–TeV mass WIMPs, would become non-relativistic much earlier than one year after the Big Bang and thus have FSLs much smaller than a ...

  8. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    The standard model is a quantum field theory, meaning its fundamental objects are quantum fields, which are defined at all points in spacetime. QFT treats particles as excited states (also called quanta) of their underlying quantum fields, which are more fundamental than the particles. These fields are.

  9. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    The mass of an object is a measure of the object’s inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s 2.
