Connecting you with the University of Missouri’s innovative research and creative activity“As Far as the Pi Can See”
A visit with Carmen Chicone, Professor of Mathematics
In the footsteps of Newton and Einstein
Topics:
space
speed
Chicone discusses his recent work on the velocity of particles moving near a black hole. Based on his research, particles moving faster than 70% of the speed of light that travel along the black hole’s axis decelerate, but objects moving perpendicular to that axis accelerate. These findings defy Newton’s Laws and obey Einstein’s Laws of General Relativity.
