Can space be compressed?

However space can compress matter, at the center of every world that has gravity, there is a black hole, all different sizes depending on many things, and what a black hole is, is the point in which space is collapsing.

Is it possible to fold space?

Something travelling on the surface of the paper at the speed of light would take a hundred years to get from A to B. For this reason, physicists think that travel great distances by “folding space” is highly unlikely to be possible.

Can gravity exist without space?

Some people think that there is no gravity in space. In fact, a small amount of gravity can be found everywhere in space. Gravity, however, does become weaker with distance. It is possible for a spacecraft to go far enough from Earth that a person inside would feel very little gravity.

Can you warp space time?

You don’t have to be the size of a planet to do some space-time warping. Large objects such as the Sun and planets aren’t the only masses that warp the fabric of space-time. Anything with mass—including your body—bends this four-dimensional cosmic grid.

Does time stop gravity?

According to Einstein’s theory, time is measured by clocks. And an astronaut falling into a black hole, whose immense gravity can warp time, might also appear to slow down relative to a distant observer. But that’s not really a way to stop time, Carroll said.

Is space-time compressible?

Should the increased density after the transformation increase the gravity levels at the same point from the centre of the gravitational field than before, I would suggest that space-time is compressible.

What would happen if you compress an object to the ground?

First off, if you compress an object, its gravity won’t really change, since its mass hasn’t. True, compress it enough, it could form a black hole, but (without working out the numbers) its event horizon would be very small indeed. Granted, things would keep falling towards the “ground”.

Is it possible to compress and expand the universe?

For ordinary gravitational fields (not necessarily for the cosmos as a whole), if you compress one (time dilation) you have to expand the other (radial space expansion). Some people consider this a coordinate artifact, but it is physically measureable from Earth.

Can space be expanded/inflated but not compressed?

I find it interesting that space can be expanded, inflated or curved but not compressed. The confusion comes from the comparison of space to a fluid, and fluids cannot generally be compressed.
