Calculations on space-time curvature within the Earth and Sun

چکیده

One aspect of the relativistic space-time curvature due to the presence of mass is the breakdown of Euclidean (fiat-space) geometry. For example, the diameter of a spherical mass is greater than the result obtained by dividing the circumference by π. The objective of this article is to determine the amount of discrepancy between ”relativistic” and” non-relativistic” diameters for objects such as the Sun and Earth. This is the outcome of a small exercise I engaged in with my tiny understanding of relativity; serious relativists please forgive me (and set me straight as necessary!) (In this article equations in geometrized units arc denoted by an asterisk.)

Application of Geographical Location Differences of the Sun- Path Diagram in Climatic Architecture

In this study, by recognizing geographical location changes of the sun-path diagram, we present a selection of sustainable architectural guidelines that influence the climatic element of sunshine. For this purpose, after the introduction of triple zones of the earth in terms of how the sun is exposed(include:Tropical, temperate and polar), the function of the earth's curvature to create geograp...

Einstein structures on four-dimensional nutral Lie groups

When Einstein was thinking about the theory of general relativity based on the elimination of especial relativity constraints (especially the geometric relationship of space and time), he understood the first limitation of especial relativity is ignoring changes over time. Because in especial relativity, only the curvature of the space was considered. Therefore, tensor calculations should be to...

Attenuation of spatial aliasing in CMP domain by non-linear interpolation of seismic data along local slopes

Spatial aliasing is an unwanted side effect that produces artifacts during seismic data processing, imaging and interpolation. It is often caused by insufficient spatial sampling of seismic data and often happens in CMP (Common Mid-Point) gather. To tackle this artifact, several techniques have been developed in time-space domain as well as frequency domain such as frequency-wavenumber, frequen...

Design, construction and calibration of single channel sun-photometer for study of aerosols

Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the air have a strong influence on air quality, human health and climate change. Sun-photometer is a tool for measuring the optical and physical characteristics of aerosols by using sunlight at various wavelengths from the Earth surface. In this paper, the design, construction, and calibration of a single channel sun-photometer is present...

ریخت‌شناسی انحنای تاخوردگی فرش دست‌باف تحت فشار استاتیکی

One of the most common procedures for exporting and warehousing handmade carpets is keeping them folded over one another. Handmade carpets come out of their stable states by being folded,while increasing storage time can cause serious and sometimes irreversible changes to them. In this research, a pilot model carpet has kept folded under a load equal to 50 g/cm2 and then the applied load increa...
