Visualising spacetimes via embedding diagrams |
It is hard to imagine curved spacetimes of General Relativity. A simple but powerful way how to achieve this is visualising them via embedding diagrams. They facilitate to gain an intuitive insight into the gravitational field rendered into a curved spacetime, and to assess the influence of parametres like electric charge and spin of a black hole, magnetic field or cosmological constant. We concentrate on general way of embedding into 3dimensional Euclidean space, and give a set of illustrative examples. |
