Sentence examples for distant masses from inspiring English sources

Since the pull of gravity decreases as the square of the separation, nearby masses have a much greater effect than distant masses.

In 1916 Albert Einstein (1879 1955) published "The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity," which replaced Newton's description of gravitation as a force that attracts distant masses to each other through Euclidean space with a principle of least effort, or shortest (temporal) path, for motion along the geodesics of a curved space.

Since the top sum is weighted by distance, distant masses count much more than near ones.

For orbiting, distant masses in our Solar System, a very small change to its velocity can nudge it close to this orbit.

The struggle between gravitational attraction (which pulls distant masses together) and the expansion of the Universe (dominated by dark energy) actually had its end determined some six billion years ago, when dark energy became the dominant factor in our Universe.

My recent pilot analysis of the 23 nearest known galaxies, along with a few dynamical actors to represent more distant mass, yields a reasonably good fit to measured distances and redshifts and the few measured proper motions.

But in the mechanics of the universe nearness counts for more than distant mass, and when all the mathematical calculations have been made, we find that the moon's power over the tides is more than twice that of the sun.

The neighborhood is fairly distant from mass transportation, which may be one reason it has been slow to redevelop.

West Street is relatively distant from mass transportation, and traffic noise is often intense, Marlene Hartstein, a sales broker with Ashforth Warburg, noted.

THE view from Sheikh Abed's hilltop tomb sweeps over bare ochre slopes that tumble into a broad valley spread beneath the distant, cloudy mass of Mount Hermon.

Until now, we have only had the crudest information about these other distant worlds – mass, orbit, approximate temperature – mostly gathered from indirect observations of them passing in front of their host star.
