Nonsymmetric gravitational theory — In theoretical physics, the nonsymmetric gravitational theory[1] (NGT) of John Moffat is a classical theory of gravitation which tries to explain the observation of the flat rotation curves of galaxies. In general relativity, the gravitational… … Wikipedia
History of gravitational theory — In physics, theories of gravitation postulate mechanisms of interaction governing the movements of bodies with mass. There have been numerous theories of gravitation since ancient times.AntiquityIn the 4th century BC, the Greek philosopher… … Wikipedia
Gravitational anomaly — Anomalies in the usual 4 spacetime dimensions arise from triangle Feynman diagrams Not to be confused with Gravity anomaly. In theoretical physics, a gravitational anomaly is an example of a gauge anomaly: it is an effect of quantum… … Wikipedia
theory of gravitation — noun (physics) the theory that any two particles of matter attract one another with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them • Syn: ↑theory of gravity,… … Useful english dictionary

Gravitational lens — Gravitational Lensing Formalism Strong lensing … Wikipedia
Gravitational time dilation — is the effect of time passing at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential; the higher the local distortion of spacetime due to gravity, the slower time passes. Albert Einstein originally predicted this effect in his theory… … Wikipedia
Gravitational energy — is the energy associated with the gravitational field.According to classical mechanics, between two or more masses (or other forms of energy momentum) a gravitational potential energy exists. Conservation of energy requires that this… … Wikipedia
Gravitational wave astronomy — is an emerging branch of observational astronomy which aims to use gravitational waves (minute distortions of spacetime predicted by Einstein s theory of general relativity) to collect observational data about objects such as neutron stars and… … Wikipedia
Gravitational wave — In physics, a gravitational wave is a fluctuation in the curvature of spacetime which propagates as a wave, traveling outward from a moving object or system of objects. Gravitational radiation is the energy transported by these waves. Important… … Wikipedia
