In 1905, Einstein proposed space-time distortion, and in 1919, astronomers observed solar eclipses to prove the phenomenon of space-time distortion, when the moon completely blocked the entire sun for a few minutes, we will see the astronomical wonder of solar eclipses in local areas of the earth, the earth-moon and the sun appear in a straight line, and the moon blocks the sun's rays, casting a dark area on the earth.
Astronomers observed the solar eclipse and found that the stars on the side of the sun were displaced, and the position of the star was blocked by the sun and could not be seen, but in just a few minutes of the eclipse, the position of the stars ran from behind the sun to the side, considering the vision of the earth's rotation and the sun is also moving westward, but in a few minutes the sun did not move so fast, and the stars seemed to migrate to the side instantly. Therefore, scientists categorically link astronomical phenomena with the space-time distortion proposed by Albert Einstein earlier.
Scientists believe that the sun's gravitational field distorts the surrounding space, causing the stars to displace. Einstein's space distortion was not absolutely wrong, but astronomers made wrong judgments in their observations?
Is the astronomer wrong? First of all, scientists use astronomical telescopes to observe the entire universe has long been developed, the nearest celestial body to the earth is the earth's natural satellite moon, the larger celestial bodies that our eyes can see are the sun and the moon, the sun is 1.3 million times larger than the earth, the sun is 7 minutes and 8 seconds away from the earth's speed of light, the moon is closer, the average distance between the earth and the moon is 380,000 kilometers, and most of the countless stars in the sky are galactic cantilever galaxies, more than 10,000 light years away from the earth, and the nearest proxima centauri from the earth is 4 light years. This span compares the distance from the Earth to the Sun, and the distance between the stars is much larger.
Although the sun and stars in the sky are on the same plane in a straight line on the earth observer, in fact, the universe is a four-dimensional space, and the stars and the sun are not on the same side as the horizontal plane, so the solar gravitational field is distorted in time and space, and it is impossible to displace Proxima Centauri, which is 40,000 light-years away.
Einstein proposed space-time distortion, how do we understand it? For example, within the range around the gravitational field of the sun, the gravitational field strength range of celestial bodies is relatively small, for example, the lowest from the ground, the heavier the gravitational field received, the astronaut arrives at the space station 100 kilometers from the ground, the gravity of the earth's gravitational field is relatively small, and it is almost in a weightless state, so the astronaut will float in the air in the space station.
From this, the Earth's gravitational field ranges from 1 million kilometers, and scientists speculate whether the sun's gravitational field will bend the light of distant stars, and the light of the stars will reach the sun's gravitational field, and the space-time distortion of the gravitational field will bend the light of the stars. This phenomenon can be defined as the gravitational field causing space-time distortion, or it can be defined as the gravitational field where light is refracted and when encountering objects with higher temperatures, the phenomenon of light refraction will also occur, and the temperature around the sun is several thousand degrees Celsius, and a mirage appears around the sun.
