• 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 biology — is the study of the effects gravity has on living organisms. Throughout the history of the Earth life has evolved to survive changing conditions, such as changes in the climate and habitat. The only constant factor in evolution since life first… …   Wikipedia

• Gravitational compression — is a process whereby gravity acting on the mass of an object compresses it, increasing its density and reducing its volume.The Sun is a good example, wherein the surface of the Sun is pulled downwards by the Sun s own gravity. This causes it to… …   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

• Gravitational redshift — In physics, light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation of a certain wavelength originating from a source placed in a region of stronger gravitational field (and which could be said to have climbed uphill out of a gravity well) will be… …   Wikipedia

• Gravitational well — In physics, a gravity well is the gravitational potential field around a massive body (a particular kind of potential well). Physical models of gravity wells are sometimes used to illustrate orbital mechanics. Gravity wells are frequently… …   Wikipedia

• Gravitational lensing formalism — In general relativity, a point mass deflects a light ray with impact parameter b by an angle hat{alpha} = frac{4GM}{c^2b}. A naïve application of Newtonian gravity can yield exactly half this value, where the light ray is assumed as a massed… …   Wikipedia

• Gravitational shielding — The term gravitational shielding refers to a hypothetical process of shielding an object from the influence of a gravitational field. Such processes, if they existed, would have the effect of reducing the weight of an object. All experimental… …   Wikipedia
