sci-man Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 does anyone know of a model for how much energy it would take (theoretically) to bend space-time and anything else on the subject? - Sci-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything with mass bends space time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigL Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Bending space-time is simple enough; any amount of mass-energy will do it. A closed timelike curve is a different matter altogether. It is a path through space-time which involves apparent faster than light travel. It is usually accomplished by using a 'wormhole' to traverse great distances in little or no time, such that a relativistic trip lasting years, would happen in little or no time, resulting in time travel into the past equivalent to those years ( example by K Thorne ). Wormholes are not that simple, however ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
