- A question from a non-physicist regarding the current thread
- on omega.
-
- What is the generally accepted range of values for
- the critical density of the universe?
-
- A related question regarding relativistic time-dilation
- in a sphere with uniformly distributed matter throughout
- the volume of the sphere. As you travel along a radius
- from the surface toward the center, does the dilation
- increase or decrease? How does it vary as you move in?
- If the Mass of the sphere is M and the radius R, what is the
- formula for relativistic time-dilation as a function of r?
-
- Thank you muchly.
