== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Spacetime''' β The four-dimensional continuum combining three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. * '''Equivalence Principle''' β The principle that gravity and acceleration are locally indistinguishable. * '''Curvature''' β The bending of spacetime geometry in the presence of mass/energy. * '''Metric Tensor (gΞΌΞ½)''' β A mathematical object that defines the distance between points in curved spacetime. * '''Geodesic''' β The shortest path between two points in curved spacetime; the path followed by a free-falling object. * '''Einstein Field Equations''' β The core equations of GR relating spacetime geometry to energy-momentum distribution. * '''Event Horizon''' β The boundary surrounding a black hole beyond which nothing can escape. * '''Gravitational Redshift''' β The stretching of light's wavelength as it moves out of a gravitational well. * '''Singularity''' β A point of infinite density and curvature where the laws of GR break down. * '''Gravitational Waves''' β Ripples in the fabric of spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects. * '''Time Dilation (Gravitational)''' β The phenomenon where time passes slower in stronger gravitational fields. * '''Schwarzschild Radius''' β The radius of the event horizon for a non-rotating, spherically symmetric mass. * '''Cosmological Constant (Ξ)''' β An energy density of empty space introduced by Einstein to allow for a static universe. * '''Lensing (Gravitational)''' β The bending of light from distant sources by massive foreground objects. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
