curvature

• “The curvature of the spine, spoken of in this work as so common, and as the cause of so many diseases among American women, is what is denominated the _lateral curvature_, and is much more dangerous than the other distortion.”

• “The Weyl curvature is zero on both the future boundary and past boundary, hence the Big Bang is still well-defined in the cyclic model as the unique hypersurface on which the Weyl curvature vanishes.”

• “It is proposed to abolish the jog, and to swing the east curvature from the east side of Yonge Street opposite College Street south-easterly into Carlton Street at a width of. 100 feet, immediately to the west of the prolongation of Victoria Street, to reduce the width to 80 feet and extend it through at an 80-foot width to Jarvis Street.”

• “To make the notion of curvature pathology more precise, we will use the manifestly physical idea of tidal force.”

  Singularities and Black Holes

• “Another common thought, often adverted to in discussion of the two primary notions, is that singular structure, whether in the form of missing points or incomplete paths, must be related to pathological behavior of some sort on the part of the singular spacetime's curvature, that is, the fundamental deformation of spacetime that manifests itself as “the gravitational field.””

• “The exterior is as pointy as the market demands, but the arch over the entrance is a nice touch, and the door is cut to match its curvature, which is even nicer.”

• “As soon as world lines start to curve, you have to measure their curvature, that is "geodesic curvature".”

• “Newton's law of universal gravitation still holds up well for most circumstances, and it remained unchallenged until Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity in 1915, in which gravity is defined as the curvature of space-time.”

• “Spacetime in general relativity is instead said to have intrinsic curvature, which is mathematically quite simple but very difficult to visualize.”

• “The Umtrieb, in other words, does also name a certain curvature of the primordial space of the past where desire constitutes itself, the past in 1815 being itself a "curvature" of the 1811 and”
