All that work had been needed to take him to a point of zero gravitational potential.

Sea level must follow a line of constant gravitational potential.

However, when moving through a gravitational potential, the frequency and energy of light is shifted.

Other potentials such as the gravitational potential can also be taken into account.

The latter is best approached by treating the gravitational potential as a field.

Next, let us plug the gravitational potential into the Hessian.

Compare the gravitational potential at some of these locations.

Or maybe somehow a wormhole wants to open up where there's a local depression in the gravitational potential.

The metric components can also be rewritten in terms of the gravitational potential so that.

The same approach implies that the Laplacian of the gravitational potential is the mass distribution.

Water doesn't run downhill; what really happens is that extremes of gravitational potential are equalized.

This is possible because the propulsion provided by the sail offsets the gravitational potential of the Sun.

This theory takes notice of an expanding universe, which creates an increasing background 'gravitational potential'.

The exhibit said, "These diagrams show the pure gravitational potential, which always produces an attractive force."

In celestial mechanics, the 'gravitational potential' is a scalar field created by any mass, such as the earth or the Sun.

In general relativity, the gravitational potential is replaced by the metric tensor.

The lower the gravitational potential (the closer the clock is to the source of gravitation), the more slowly time passes.

This is different from a standard lens where the gravitational potential of the lens has an infinite range.

In general relativity the mass potential plays the role of the Newtonian gravitational potential.

This provides an alternate means of calculating the gravitational potential and gravitational field.

By assuming a finite speed of gravity, he developed the following expression for the gravitational potential:

Experimental determination of the gravitational potential at the geoid surface is a task in physical geodesy.

Using the weak-field approximation, the metric can also be thought of as representing the 'gravitational potential'.

Since the rate of clocks and the gravitational potential have the same derivative, they are the same up to a constant.

The gravitational potential of a spiral galaxy can be described as a giant, spiral-grooved funnel.
