Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon01:21

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon

1.9K
No object with a finite mass can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. This fact has an interesting consequence in the domain of extremely high gravitational fields.
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...

Space-Time Curvature and the General Theory of Relativity01:17

Space-Time Curvature and the General Theory of Relativity

2.7K
In 1905, Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity. According to this theory, no matter in the universe can attain a speed greater than the speed of light in a vacuum, which thus serves as the speed limit of the universe.
This has been verified in many experiments. However, space and time are no longer absolute. Two observers moving relative to one another do not agree on the length of objects or the passage of time. The mechanics of objects based on Newton's laws of...

Gravitation Between Spherically Symmetric Masses

870
The gravitational potential energy between two spherically symmetric bodies can be calculated from the masses and the distance between the bodies, assuming that the center of mass is concentrated at the respective centers of the bodies.

Detection of Black Holes

2.2K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Gravity between Spherical Bodies01:27

Gravity between Spherical Bodies

8.4K
Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between any two point masses. However, for extended spherical objects like the Earth, the Moon, and other planets, the law holds with an assumption that masses of spherical objects are concentrated at their respective centers.
This assumption can be proved easily by showing that the expression for gravitational potential energy between a hollow sphere of mass (M) and a point mass (m) is the same as it would be for a pair of extended...

Acceleration due to Gravity on Other Planets01:24

Acceleration due to Gravity on Other Planets

4.2K
The gravitational acceleration of an object near the Earth's surface is called the acceleration due to gravity. It can be measured by conducting simple experiments on Earth. However, such an experiment is impossible to conduct on the surface of other planets.
Astronomical observations are thus used to measure the acceleration due to gravity on other planets. This can be determined by observing the effect of a planet's gravity on objects close to it. The crucial factor that helps in this...

Summary

We prove the long-term stability of specific Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) models in Einstein-Dust cosmology. These non-accelerating, dust-dominated spacetimes are the slowest expanding and globally regular models known.

Area of Science:

  • Cosmology
  • General Relativity
  • Astrophysics

Background:

  • The Einstein-Dust system describes a universe filled with non-relativistic matter.
  • Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) models are standard cosmological solutions.
  • Understanding the long-term behavior (nonlinear stability) of these models is crucial for cosmology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the future nonlinear stability of a broad category of FLRW models.
  • To analyze Einstein-Dust spacetimes with a vanishing cosmological constant.
  • To identify the slowest expanding, future-complete Einstein-Dust spacetimes.

Main Methods:

  • Mathematical analysis of the Einstein-Dust system.
  • Focus on FLRW solutions with zero cosmological constant.
  • Investigation of nonlinear stability properties.

Main Results:

  • A large class of FLRW models are proven to be future nonlinearly stable.
  • These models exhibit linear expansion (zero acceleration).
  • The resulting spacetimes are future globally regular.

Conclusions:

  • This work identifies the first generic class of future regular, non-accelerating Einstein-Dust spacetimes.
  • These solutions represent the slowest expanding, future-complete FLRW spacetimes currently known.
  • The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of cosmological model stability.
