• gravitational potential — noun : the scalar quantity characteristic of a point in a gravitational field whose gradient equals the intensity of the field and equal to the work required to move a body of unit mass from given point to a point infinitely remote …   Useful english dictionary

• 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 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
