    B Does a gyroscope bend spacetime?

    I'm sorry, I've been watching too much NOVA and science shows all these years. I thought that was a real thing.

    B Does a gyroscope bend spacetime?

    You mean an object in motion does not increase in mass with respect to its velocity? As an object travels faster and approaches the speed of light, does its mass not increase? I'm sorry but that's what everybody says. As a flywheel rotates faster, shouldn't its mass also increase at the outer edge?

    B Does a gyroscope bend spacetime?

    I've always understood that mass and velocity are proportional. An increase in velocity increases mass. Gravity is a function of mass. Does not the velocity of the spinning wheel create an increase in its mass at the edge of the wheel? If not then what is that?

    B Does a gyroscope bend spacetime?

    Exactly what is the proper description of gravity? What is the conservation of angular momentum?

    B Does a gyroscope bend spacetime?

    I've tried to find the answer to this but I can't I know what we experience as gravity is the bending of space by the mass of the Earth. But, a gyroscope is able to defy the Earths bending of space. Does a gyroscope on a small scale bend space perpendicular to the Earths bending and that's why...

    B What are the biggest misconceptions about black holes?

    Under Newton gravity was a force. Einstien proved that gravity is an effect. The effect of the bending of space by mass. We feel gravity because the material of the surface of the Earth prevents us our falling towards the center of the Earths mass. Everything in the universe follows the...

    B What are the biggest misconceptions about black holes?

    Probably the greatest misconceptions about black holes comes from what people see in movies. That it's possible to pass through a black hole and come out the other side into another time or place. That black holes have infinite gravity and are like bottomless pits and violate dimensional space...
