Has there been any assumption or ideas that its not the mass that cause the curvature of space ?

Question

But rather the curvature of space that cause the mass to curve into its own containment?

Answer 1

Interesting thoughts.

I'd have to say the answer is no because whenever astronomers discover a perturbation or unexplained motion in an objects orbit, they invariably find another object which was unknown in the vicinity that explains the odd finding.

We find no space curvature or gravitational field without an associated mass.

Your theory would mean that every curvature of space has been conveniently filled by an associated mass that exactly exhibits the gravitational field associated with both the curvature and the object - not very likely, you think?

Answer 2

Are you asking if pre-existing curvatures of space can be the cause of mass?

This is unlikely since were it so we would find some evidence of curved space with no mass or small mass. Since we can use the curvature of space around a massive object to estimate the objects mass and we can see examples of mass with no telltale curvature it follows that the mass must cause the curvature and not the other way around.

Answer 3

that's no longer fairly an exponential substitute, although the steepness of the a million/?(a million-(v²/c²)) curve does grow to be countless at the same time as v = c because the denominator is going to 0. you ought to certainly regard the problem as that of attempting to "boost" an ever-increasing mass upward in a nicely of ever-increasing intensity and steepness. A perchance less complicated idea is discovered contained in the Newtonian pressure equation F = ma; as mass will boost (in accordance with the Lorentz transformation), the pressure mandatory to maintain a given acceleration will boost too. in case you ought to attain c, the mass would have become countless, requiring an unlimited pressure to flow it. countless forces (and far) can not exist in this universe, so that you could not get to (or previous) c with out distorting the regulations of the universe (or in basic terms departing from it).

Answer 4

Are you saying we exist inside a universe sized basketball? If that is the case, why do we now find galaxies through the Hubble Telescope that are continuing to move away and are on the order of 15BILLION light years away.

(We know they are moving to us or away from us due to the doppler shift of light)

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" remains true. As a galaxy's position accelerates from an initial path of motion, SOMETHING (ie heavy mass) draws it into its new path. Be aware this is not the same as gravitational lensing (bending of light due to a heavy mass).

Answer 5

like the whole universe could like fit in a bottle man , like got anymore of these brownies?

Answer 6

I must be dumb, I always thought that space was infinite.

Answer 7

Prove it.
