space

  • is there such a thing or is space filled with particles too small to observe

space and buddhism

  • shunyata is sort of spacial
  • vs impermanence which is temporal

Space Computations

Classical Mechanics

  • Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
  • Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: $$ F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} $$
  • Orbital Mechanics:
  • Orbital Velocity: $$ v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}} $$
  • Orbital Period: $$ T^2 = \frac{4\pi2}{GM}r3 $$

Special Relativity

  • Lorentz Transformations
  • Time Dilation
  • Length Contraction

General Relativity

  • Einstein Field Equations: $$ R_{\mu\nu} - \frac{1}{2}Rg_{\mu\nu} = \frac{8\pi G}{c^4}T_{\mu\nu} $$
  • Geodesic Equation
  • Black Hole Solutions (Schwarzschild, Kerr, etc.)

Cosmology

  • Friedmann Equations: $$ \left(\frac{\dot{a}}{a}\right)^2 + \frac{k}{a^2} = \frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho $$ $$ \frac{\ddot{a}}{a} = -\frac{4\pi G}{3}(\rho + 3p) $$
  • Hubble's Law: $$ v = H_0d $$

These equations are fundamental to understanding the behavior of celestial bodies, the expansion of the universe, and the nature of gravity.
