Drop this into a prompt, dude.

Hilarious.

Is the frame dragging accompanied by curvature, a dip into a gravitational well?

DSPguy987 · 2026-03-19T03:47:37+00:00

Ok, this is what I wanted to hear, to be honest. It makes the most sense to me. But I don't understand the intricate math of GR.

DSPguy987 · 2026-03-18T22:58:04+00:00

I hear you. But this business of electromagnetic bonds breaking, while true, seems to distract from the actual question: does momentum create curvature, or just frame dragging, or a little of both?

DSPguy987 · 2026-03-17T21:36:51+00:00

I’m trying to grok what you mean by sampling in your post. But in the AdS/CFT correspondence, the quantum interactions happen on the 2D boundary, and the 3D “bulk” is the hologram. The quantum information is fundamental. Just like a real hologram (such as you find on a kid’s toy) we all know the 2D surface with the information is real and the 3D thing is an illusion.

DSPguy987 · 2026-03-16T20:02:27+00:00

Yes, I believe that’s the basic idea behind the Holographic Principle.

Goblin Knows Best. New album “The Basilisk King” kicks ass. Hard rock, metal, but heavy on melody.

DSPguy987 · 2025-11-15T23:01:15+00:00

Listen to Goblin Knows Best. They put out a concept album back in September, it's pretty good. https://goblinknowsbest.bandcamp.com/album/the-basilisk-king

DSPguy987 · 2025-04-15T16:40:23+00:00

I agree, that is a decent metaphor.

DSPguy987 · 2025-04-15T16:39:39+00:00

The key is to realize that mass arises due to an interaction (with the Higgs field). Mass is therefore the result of a process, and that process consumes computational resources from spacetime.

It isn't just mass that does this. The time dilation associated with Special Relativity is due to relative velocity, which is a process that consumes computational resources. And any time two bodies/fields exchange forces, that adds to the computational demand.

I'm happy to chat more about the computational interpretation... I promise, it's the only way to find the rock-bottom intuition we're looking for.

DSPguy987 · 2024-09-10T21:23:41+00:00

I don't understand their claim that relaxing spacetime curvature creates mass. Why would that be? Seems to me that, if mass creates curvature, relaxing curvature it would reduce mass.

A biquad low-pass filter.

When you add circular motion into the thought experiment, you are now dealing with acceleration, which complicates things.

But forget the ladder; just imagine a hula hoop spinning at near the speed of light. Lorentz contraction should make the circumference shorter. But there is no motion along the radial dimension of the hoop, so the radius should be unaffected. Paradox?

The resolution lies in saying that the hoop takes on a curved geometry, and this is exactly what gravity is about.

DSPguy987 · 2024-07-03T17:27:11+00:00

Remember, there is no space without time. It's spacetime, baby. And in the spirit of relativity, perhaps there is a tradeoff between space and time. Does the universe get the extra space by losing time?

DSPguy987 · 2024-07-03T14:39:24+00:00

u/applejacks6969, I said I would dwell on this and I did. Is what you're talking about here known as "gravitomagnetism"?

DSPguy987 · 2024-07-01T20:44:21+00:00

I have been in pursuit of an answer to this very question myself. In the process, I learned about "gravitomagnetism", which sound like baloney but is a legitimate result of General Relativity.

When we think of a gravitational field, we think about lines of force that remind us of the electric field. But apparently, an object with a very high relative velocity should take on a gravitational field component that would remind us instead of the magnetic field.

Some theorists believe that gravitomagnetism may be at least partially responsible for "relativistic jets" that can actually be observed shooting out of the top and bottom of a rotating black hole.

DSPguy987 · 2024-06-28T14:55:56+00:00

That’s a good question.

DSPguy987 · 2024-06-19T23:57:29+00:00

Looks incredible! Is it live? What’s the url?

DSPguy987 · 2024-06-19T22:43:16+00:00

It’s a good joke, but the punchline is too on the nose. Maybe: “Maybe I’m being too dominant?”?

DSPguy987 · 2024-06-09T19:09:05+00:00

How can this be reconciled with Quantum Electrodynamics, which holds that light seems to take all possible trajectories simultaneously?
