In Einstein's curved space-time, a direct extension of Riemann's notion of curved space (1854), a particle follows a world line, or geodesic, somewhat analogous to the way a billiard ball on a warped surface would follow a path determined by the warping or curving of the surface.
Geophysical data suggest that the subducting plate is not a smoothly inclined plane but instead a warped surface with two points of flexure.
Finally, the warped surface meshes were aligned by the Procrustes shape analysis method, allowing us to quantitatively assess the growth changes [ 17].
Made up of acres of warped surfaces, it offers visitors advice, in a handout leaflet, like "Instead of being fearful of losing your balance, look forward to it".
The New York Presbyterian Church, in the Sunnyside neighborhood, features a large, open sanctuary that seats 2,500 and has a ceiling composed of warped surfaces, computer-designed ribbed forms that look different from different angles.
But if you looked closely you could see tiny Greek letters on the warped surfaces, made by a scribe two thousand years ago — an electrifying jolt of handwritten human communication from the ancient world.
Embedded in the main warped surfaces are two "glass rocks," which are analogous to the two giant stones on the beach in the distance.
Subsequently he designed a precast, vaulted field house for Dartmouth College in New Hampshire (1961 62) and, in collaboration with Pietro Belluschi, the Cathedral of San Francisco, four vertical-warped surfaces dramatically enclosing the vertical space of the main nave.
Like marbles rolling on a warped rubber surface, the bodies then move about in ways determined by the bending of space-time, and so on: everything is dealt with together, including any observers.
You don't see on television the actual character of the putting surfaces — how warped they may be, how legible.
Peer deeply enough into the long odyssey of Homer, say, and a certain warped wisdom can float to the surface.
