Ductile fracture. The propagation of a ductile crack involves substantial plastic flow and ductile fracture usually gives a characteristic rough fracture surface.Fracture occurs by a process known as microvoid coalescence. First, plastic strain causes small microvoids to form in the material, most often at sites of inclusions.he propagation of a ductile crack involves substantial plastic flow and ductile fracture usually gives a characteristic rough fracture surface.
An illustration of the space-time curvature caused by Earth. Space-time is a mathematical model that joins space and time into a single idea called a continuum. This four-dimensional continuum is known as Minkowski space. Combining these two ideas helped cosmology to understand how the universe works on the big level (e.g. galaxies) and small level (e.g. atoms).
Time Travel. Time travel is commonly defined with David Lewisâ definition: An object time travels if and only if the difference between its departure and arrival times as measured in the surrounding world does not equal the duration of the journey undergone by the object.here are also investigations of the logical possibility of time travel, the physical possibility of time travel, and the technological practicality of time travel. The most attention is paid to time travel that is consistent with current physical theory such as Einstein's general theory of relativity.
