An Experimental Signature of Curved Space |
An often overlooked experimental method of determining the nature of curved space is reinvestigated with an application to matter filled regions of space. A horizon is a special line on a surface like the Earth, as can be seen at sunset. If one neglects atmospheric affects, an object setting on the surface near the horizon appears tilted away from the observer. A star near the horizon appears uneclipsed due to the curved space near a horizon. Mathematically the horizon is forms a rich theory all of its own, which can be easily computed from what is known about curvature. Small highly dense objects may be revealed by the mathematics of the horizon, and the author believes that this can form an interesting and experimentally verifiable addition to the current gravitational theories. |

Properties of Black Hole Horizon's |
Horizon's of Black Holes have thermal properties that can be explained more easily using a mathematical technique that uses a modified Path-Integral formulation, similar to QCD/QED, that has not been widely explored. |
