The Gödel Engine - An interactive approach to visualization in general relativity
We present a methodical new approach to visualize the aspects of general relativity from a self-centered perspective. We focus on the visualization of the Gödel universe, which is an exact solution to Einstein’s field equations of general relativity. This model provides astounding features such as the existence of an optical horizon and the possibility of time travel. Although we know that our ...
متن کاملGeneral-relativistic Visualization General Relativity
I n our previous article about special-relativistic visualization,1 we described what the travelers from our highly developed civilization observed when they passed the Earth; now, they set out for the Cygnus X-1 binary system, which is roughly 6,000 light years away. The Cygnus X-1 system consists of a super giant variable star (HDE 226868) and a very compact object—presumably a black hole—wit...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولKant, Gödel and Relativity 1
Since the onset of logical positivism, the general wisdom of the philosophy of science has it that the kantian philosophy of (space and) time has been superseded by the theory of relativity, in the same sense in which the latter has replaced Newton’s theory of absolute space and time. On the wake of Cassirer and Gödel, in this paper I raise doubts on this commonplace. I first suggest some condi...
متن کاملA Spinor Approach to General Relativity
A calculus for general relativity is developed in which the basic role of tensors is taken over by spinors. The Riemann-Christoffel tensor is written in a spinor form according to a scheme of Witten. It is shown that the curvature of empty space can be uniquely characterized by a totally symmetric four-index spinor which satisfies a first order equation formally identical with one for a zero re...
