  2. World crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Crystal

    Thus the world crystal represents a model for emergent or induced gravity [2] in an Einstein–Cartan theory of gravitation (which embraces Einstein's theory of General Relativity). The model illustrates that the world may have, at Planck distances , quite different properties from those predicted by string theorists .

    Estimated distribution of dark matter and dark energy in the universe Cosmological principle : Is the universe homogeneous and isotropic at sufficiently large scales, as claimed by the cosmological principle and assumed by all models that use the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric , including the current version of the ...

  4. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    In the early universe, it is thought that matter and antimatter were equally represented, and the disappearance of antimatter requires an asymmetry in physical laws called CP (charge–parity) symmetry violation, which can be obtained from the Standard Model, [51] but at this time the apparent asymmetry of matter and antimatter in the visible ...

  5. Graviton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton

    The reason is the extremely low cross section for the interaction of gravitons with matter. For example, a detector with the mass of Jupiter and 100% efficiency, placed in close orbit around a neutron star , would only be expected to observe one graviton every 10 years, even under the most favorable conditions.

  6. Introduction to general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_general...

    Such comparatively simple universes can be described by simple solutions of Einstein's equations. The current cosmological models of the universe are obtained by combining these simple solutions to general relativity with theories describing the properties of the universe's matter content, namely thermodynamics, nuclear-and particle physics.

  7. Universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe

    Dark matter is a hypothetical kind of matter that is invisible to the entire electromagnetic spectrum, but which accounts for most of the matter in the universe. The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation, and the large-scale structure of the universe.

  8. Modified Newtonian dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics

    MOND-compliant gravity, which explains galactic-scale observations, was not previously detected closer to Earth, such as in national laboratories or the trajectories of interplanetary spacecraft, because the a 0 acceleration, 1.2 × 10 −10 m/s 2, at which the dynamics of MOND begin diverging from Newtonian dynamics, is—as a practical matter ...

  9. Gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

    In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight' [1]) is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as mutual attraction between all things that have mass.Gravity is, by far, the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 10 38 times weaker than the strong interaction, 10 36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force and 10 29 times weaker than the weak interaction.
