The 2D surfaces that generate Newtonian and general relativistic orbits with small eccentricities
The 2D surfaces that generate Newtonian and general relativistic orbits with small eccentricities
Embedding diagrams prove to be quite useful when learning general relativity as they offer a way of visualizing spacetime curvature through warped two dimensional (2D) surfaces. In this manuscript, we present a different 2D construct that also serves as a useful conceptual tool for gaining insight into gravitation: orbital dynamics—namely, …
