In general relativity, gravitation is not a force, unlike the other fundamental interactions (i.e. electromagnetism and the weak and strong nuclear forces). Gravitation is solely due to the curvature of

Definitely one of the most informative and pertinent technical analysis out there -> I love the Brontosaurus pattern! Though I prefer to use tools like the Lagrange-Honey-Badger retracement, personally..

I was sooo curious to know who was the physicist behind the very good vulgarization posts that I read. I'm glad you left a way to figure it out ;-)

Here is a much better article on the subject, written by another astrophysicist:

Thanks for taking the initiative. I haven't read the whole article yet, but the following statement is not correct in my opinion. " In today's form, general relativity and quantum mechanics can not

Thanks a lot @lemouth!

@galotta sorry I should have been more specific. I was referring to your comment to @eonwarped "If I am not completely mistaken gravitational waves do not cause gravitational time dilation in principle

@galotta: watch out that you seem to confuse coordinate time and proper time. The proper time is given by the integration of the line element (defined from the metric). So, a change of the spatial geometry
