Curves in Space and Time vs. Banks on Roads and Race tracks
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:53 pm
Engineers design banks on winding roads and race tracks to prevent vehicles travelling within "safe" speed from flying off the road. Similar results can be achieved if upon speeding through the winding portion of the road, vehicles are tethered to an imaginary rope.
In the universe, the pull exerted by the mass of the inferred existence of dark matter is similar to the imaginary rope. How about the curves in space and time? Do they provide the same effect as the banks on winding roads?
