Term for the "warping of time"?
Hi guys,
Just wondering if there is a single word that can summarise the warping of time, or the expansion and contraction of time? I've looked all over the net for this magical word, but cannot seem to find it! If there's no such thing as a single word, is there a two- or three-word term suitable? Thanks! Ben |

"Curvature" is possibly what you are looking for and in particular "curvature of spacetime" might get some useful hits in the search engines. HTH George |

Term for the "warping of time"?
OK, I like the term "time-warp", but it's not exactly what I'm looking
for Perhaps I should have previously explained why I am looking for this term. A friend is starting a band (possibly with me in it) which will feature crazy time signatures and heavy syncopations. He said that he had spent many hours searching for a name for the band, preferably one that meant "the expansion and contraction of time", however he said that he simply couldn't find a single word, or maybe two or three words that could replace that sentence. He even managed to speak to an expert in astronomy and he couldn't seem to think of anything either. So if anyone can come up with a suitable band name, even if it doesn't mean exactly what we want it to mean, but people can tell what it represents, we would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for all the comments so far, though! Ben |
