11Modified Newtonian dynamics — MOND redirects here. For other uses, see Mond. In physics, Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a hypothesis that proposes a modification of Newton s law of gravity to explain the galaxy rotation problem. When the uniform velocity of rotation of …
12Parameterized post-Newtonian formalism — Post Newtonian formalism is a calculational tool that expresses Einstein s (nonlinear) equations of gravity in terms of the lowest order deviations from Newton s theory. This allows approximations to Einstein s equations to be made in the case of …
13Post-Newtonian expansion — Post Newtonian expansions in general relativity are used for finding an approximate solution of the Einstein equations for the metric tensor that represents a multi component, tensor gravitational field potential instead of a single, scalar… …
14Effective potential — The effective potential is a mathematical expression integrating angular momentum into the potential energy of a dynamical system. Commonly used in calculating the orbits of planets (both Newtonian and relativistic), the effective potential… …
15Double layer potential — In potential theory, an area of mathematics, a double layer potential is a solution of Laplace s equation corresponding to the electrostatic or magnetic potential associated to a dipole distribution on a closed surface S in three dimensions. Thus …
16force function — Potential Po*ten tial, n. 1. Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentially. Bacon. [1913 Webster] 2. (Math.) In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine… …
17Self-creation cosmology — (SCC) theories are gravitational theories in which the mass of the universe is created out of its self contained gravitational and scalar fields, as opposed to the theory of continuous creation cosmology or the steady state theory which depend on …
18Capacity of a set — In mathematics, the capacity of a set in Euclidean space is a measure of that set s size . Unlike, say, Lebesgue measure, which measures a set s volume or physical extent, capacity is a mathematical analogue of a set s ability to hold electrical… …
19Structure formation — refers to a fundamental problem in physical cosmology. The universe, as is now known from observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation, began in a hot, dense, nearly uniform state approximately 13.7 Gyr ago. [cite journal |author=D.… …
20Time dilation — This article is about a concept in physics. For the concept in sociology, see time displacement. In the theory of relativity, time dilation is an observed difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving… …
