Gravitational Interaction (Noun)
Meaning
A weak interaction between particles that results from their mass; mediated by gravitons.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural phenomena.
Examples
- Galileo Galilei was the first to study the gravitational interaction of terrestrial masses as in this scheme gravities lie inherentely towards the gravity point.
- Gravitational interaction plays a crucial part in the universe, holding stars in orbit in galaxies, oceans in motion across oceans.
- The universe is dominated by the gravitational interaction between this gas and dark matter.
- Understanding gravitational interaction has led to the study of cosmology at earlier stages than electromagnetic wave signals can possibly do.
- Another kind of behavior for gravitational interaction is one in the realm of low energy where Einstein's Equivalence principle and most importantly Newton's gravitation constant prevail.
