SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy October 2022
DESCRIPTION:Relativity – The Layman’s Guide\nPart 2: General Relativity & Gravity\nGuest Speaker: Nick Odom \nRelativity and Newton’s law of gravity are mathematically incompatible. Einstein realized that the local effects of gravity and acceleration are equivalent\, and that gravity is a distortion of spacetime. An analysis of the effect of gravity on light reveals that time runs slower in gravitational fields and that light bends. The bending is increased by the curvature of space.  We briefly examine black holes and end with the observational consequences of the theory. \nThis is a fascinating topic and not to be missed. We look forward to seeing you all there. \nThis meeting will also be live streamed to the AAS YouTube channel \nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/AucklandAstronomicalSociety
