Quotes About Tensor

Weyl curvature tensor . . . but consciousness was no

Roughly speaking, the greater the value of the metric tensor, the greater the crumpling of the sheet. No mattet how crumpled the sheet of paper, the metric tensor gives us a simple means of measuring its curvature at any point. If we flattened the crumpled sheet completely, then we would retrieve the formula of Pythagoras.

It needs to be something associated with a high thaum field. If you could solve a four-element Vohlman tensor in your head, that might suffice—" Alex shuddered. He could do that but it might awaken his V-parasites, which would make him hungry.

His head-snapping insight was that gravity could be defined as the curvature of spacetime, and thus it could be represented by a metric tensor.
