No..The spacetime curvature pruduced by an object cannot affect the object itself ..What is mentioned in the answer above correct but this related to the effects of
different parts of a body on other part ..but a single object can not affected by itself .this can by understood directly from the...
The Florentine astronomer Francesco Sizi argued in this manner why there could not be any satelites around Jupiter.
There are seven windows in the head , two nostrils , two ears , two eyes and a mouth ; so in the heavens there are two favorable stars , two unpropitious , two luminaries ...
although the model of the rubber sheet and the ball is very widespread it is very misleading for those who want to understand what space-time curvature means for the for the first time because they can not differentiate between what is common in the unimagineabe reality and the model used to...
It is constant as a wave because of the conditions I mentioned in #11
A here is the Poynting vector of the first beam in any event of the spacetime and -A is Poynting vector of the other beam at the same event.
You do all this exposed camouflage to get away from the clear result of vanishing of...
Does it need working out to know that the sum of two vectors that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is zero? Is it me who make unfounded assumptions and need to clear up a lot of misconceptions?
If we take for example a beam of light coming from a distant star then all the rays of the beam have the same phase and direction in a small region ..so when this beam interfere with another one coming from the opposite direction with the same density and frequency from another distant star the...
but according to the definition of Poynting vector in the paper you posted to me it (as a vector) must equal zero in a location of meeting of two similar beams of light traveling in opposite direction .
I do not know why you want to speak about the rest of spacetime while we are discussing the...
OK..I am not familiar with this " Poynting vector" but I think (but not sure) I can take it away from this discussion If we apply these rules in a small region of interference of two similar beams of light but traveling in an opposite direction so there will not be any Poynting vector.
If so...
According to EM theory,in the absence of any interaction with matter, destructive interference in one location will always be balanced by constructive interference in another location keeping the law of conservation which means that there is no local conservation law for energy flux regarding...
Yes thanks ... this implies that there is no local conservation for the energy in electromagnetic field but this leads me to an important question related to General Relativity
so I am going to open new thread there.
