Can You Explain A Bit About The Curvature Of Spacetime Or How It's Curved?

can you explain a bit about the curvature of spacetime or how it's curved?

Thanks for asking!! It’s a little difficult ti picture curved space, so I highly recommend this video, it’s phenomenal at helping you understand how gravity arises from space and time being warped//curved by matter.

I think the above video does a phenomenal job at explaining gravity in terms of warping space and time; definitely watch it. The heavier an object, the more it warps space-time; this means that time gets slowed down with heavier objects, since the space and time become more warped. You may have heard that time flows slower on the earth than it does further up from its surface; time flows faster for astronauts since they experience less of earth’s gravity (since they are further away).

This visualization was the best one I could find? but tbh it’s still hard for pretty much everybody, including the world’s best physicists, to visualize and wrap their head around. Let me know if you have any other questions or need a clarification!! Also, you might want to check out the relativity/general relativity tag on my blog if you want to see some of the other posts i’ve made.

Good wood - um, I’m currently trying to work out if this is the coolest bit of tech that’s ever been on here…. I think it might just be. Beautiful, classy, classic but contemporary, it makes you feel like you’re from the 1940s, 1970s and 2020 all in one go. Yes please!

Zombie apocalypse statistics

When buried six feet down, without a coffin, in ordinary soil, an unembalmed adult normally takes eight to twelve years to decompose to a skeleton. However if placed in a coffin the body can take many years longer, depending on type of wood used. For example a solid oak coffin will hughly slow down the process.

Assuming everyone is buried without a coffin and in normal soil, there would be 31517016 zombies purely risen from the dead. You would be wondering why 31517016 zombies, the math is, 2626418 is the average number of people dieing per annum and 12 is the number for years (maximum) for a body to decompose, 2626418 × 12 = 31517016 All the dead people buried before 12 years ago, would have already decompose and will not be considered undead. So with 7 Billion living humans (with modern technology) verses 31517016 undead classic zombies, who as slow, witless and only react to sound, We can survive a zombie apocalypse with ease.

BUT

If the undead is considered to be all the dead people till now, that would be 107 billion zombie against 7 billion zombie. Making that around 15 zombies for every 1 living human. The chances of surviving is slim.
