According to Dictionary.com, spacetime is ¨the concepts of time and 3-D regarded as fused into a 4-D continuum.¨]]> 2017-11-29 17:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/211518854 npatha12 https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212354291 Gravity is modeled as a dip in spacetime. The Earth causes a dip or curve in the spacetime ¨fabric¨ which causes smaller object to follow the curve. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212354291 npatha12 https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212355959 For example, the moon orbits the Earth, but it is actually just following the curve of the Earth and is pulled in by gravity. In some time, the moon will have spiraled all across the Earth and would start to fall into the Earth.]]> 2017-12-01 17:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212355959 npatha12 https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212356758 Think of the moon as a marble and the sun as a shot-put. Lets say we put the shot-put in the middle of a trampoline. The trampoline will represent the fabric of spacetime. If you put the marble at the edge of the trampoline and the shot-put in the middle and let go of the marble, what would happen?]]> 2017-12-01 17:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212356758 npatha12 https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212359585 The marble would orbit around the shot-put until it would eventually hit the shot-put. ]]> 2017-12-01 17:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/npatha12/bq1g6eqtfmhe/wish/212359585
