Its matter and energy anchored it to its continuum and relative time, but its geometry and quantum entanglement had been strained by the inertial dampener, thus making it susceptible to superspace distortions, and therefore it could be effected by them negatively.

Gravitational waves, a direct consequence of Einstein's theory, are distortions of geometry that propagate at the speed of light, and can be thought of as ripples in spacetime.

# The human head imprints frequency-dependent distortions of phase and amplitude on sound reaching the eardrums, that are frequency-dependent level differences and these distortion effects vary with the direction of the sound source ( being caused by the geometry and sound-transmitting characteristics of the sinus and throat cavities, eustachian tubes, inner ear, external ears, and other hard and soft tissues in the head and upper body ( see: head-related transfer function, " HRTF ").

While Renaissance artists sought nature to find their style, the Mannerists looked first for a style and found a manner. In Mannerist paintings, compositions can have no focal point, space can be ambiguous, figures can be characterized by an athletic bending and twisting with distortions, exaggerations, an elastic elongation of the limbs, bizarre posturing on one hand, graceful posturing on the other hand, and a rendering of the heads as uniformly small and oval.

To counteract the unstable nature, and prevent the distortions from collapsing under their own ' weight ', one would need to introduce hypothetical exotic matter or negative energy.

They can lead to incentive distortions over time as agents anticipate such compensations and change their actions accordingly.

The men, as though seized with madness and with frenzied distortions of their bodies, shrieked out prophecies ; the matrons, dressed as Bacchae, their hair disheveled, rushed down to the Tiber River with burning torches, plunged them into the water, and drew them out again, the flame undiminished because they were made of sulfur mixed with lime.

According to their observation, headphones seem to be more preferable to produce sufficient sound pressure at the ear drums with smaller distortions than loudspeakers.

Viviano ’ s caricatures are known for their wide jaws, which Viviano has explained is a result of his incorporation of side views as well as front views into his distortions of the human face.

This influenced what they saw as the power of people without priests to intercede between them and God, the need for the people to read and interpret the Bible, and correction of distortions from original Christian thinking, as well as their protests against church abuses.

Reflection, refraction and diffraction of these waves can also alter their transmission characteristics and require specialized systems to accommodate the accompanying distortions.

Frequently, the people he wrote about recognised themselves and did not always appreciate his distortions of their culture and behaviour.

As the crew prepares to send an away-team to investigate the laboratory, they experience more time distortions, labeled by Data as " Manheim effects ", and hurry their efforts.

In these early cards the Jack of Spades, Jack of Hearts, and King of Diamonds are shown from the rear, with their heads turned back over the shoulder so that they are seen in profile ; however, the Rouen cards were so badly copied in England that the current designs are gross distortions of the originals.

Hence some stalactites have their tips under water long enough to allow tassels of crystals to grow on them, which, in a drier season, are again coated over with stalactitic matter ; and thus singular distortions are occasioned.

In what had been called a “ retour à l ’ humain ” ( return to the human ), many artists working in Belgium after the war had kept the expressive brush of their forebearers, but had rejected what they had seen as the anti-human, unreal distortions in their subject matter.

Sometimes, those attributed to the text state elsewhere that their text is the earlier version, or that their text excises all the additions and distortions made by their opponents to the more recognised version of the text.

It was the first time the idea of gravitational, electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces were treated as distortions of their proper Euclidean metrics in a higher dimensional space.

Most anomalies produce visible air or light distortions and their extent can be determined by throwing bolts ( of which the player carries an infinite supply ) to trigger them.

Zen masters warn their meditating students to ignore sensory distortions.

Makyo refers to the hallucinations and perceptual distortions that can arise during the course of meditation and can be mistaken by the practitioner as " seeing the true nature " or kensho.

These distortions can make it difficult to match brain components from one species with those of another species.

The Earth being spherical, any flat representation generates distortions such that shapes and areas cannot both be conserved simultaneously, and distances can never all be preserved.

Critics, such as political economist Karl Polanyi, question whether a spontaneously ordered market can exist, completely free of " distortions " of political policy ; claiming that even the ostensibly freest markets require a state to exercise coercive power in some areas-to enforce contracts, to govern the formation of labor unions, to spell out the rights and obligations of corporations, to shape who has standing to bring legal actions, to define what constitutes an unacceptable conflict of interest, etc.

The observed distortions can be used to model the distribution of dark matter in the cluster.

LCD TVs commonly display more than that as the digital processing can introduce color distortions and the additional levels of color are needed to ensure true colors.

One can identify three types of distortions that could occur in an oriented sample: ( 1 ) twists of the material, where neighboring molecules are forced to be angled with respect to one another, rather than aligned ; ( 2 ) splay of the material, where bending occurs perpendicular to the director ; and ( 3 ) bend of the material, where the distortion is parallel to the director and molecular axis.

The response of the material can then be decomposed into terms based on the elastic constants corresponding to the three types of distortions.

A 2003 study found that some spurious computer crashes and general reliability issues, ranging from screen image distortions to I / O read / write errors, can be attributed not to software or peripheral hardware but to aging capacitors on PC motherboards.

With a triple-extension bellows 4 " × 5 " camera such as the Linhof SuperTechnika V, the photographer can correct certain distortions such as ' keystoning ', where the image ' lines ' converge ( i. e., photographing a building by pointing a typical camera upward to include the top of the building ).

Magnetostrictive speaker drivers have some special advantages: they can provide greater force ( with smaller excursions ) than other technologies ; low excursion can avoid distortions from large excursion as in other designs ; the magnetizing coil is stationary and therefore more easily cooled ; they are robust because delicate suspensions and voice coils are not required.

By altering only the phase control, you can shift the pitch or apply FM synthesis distortions to an existing sound.

Weak lensing: where the distortions of background sources are much smaller and can only be detected by analyzing large numbers of sources to find coherent distortions of only a few percent.

Temporal lobe seizures, on the other hand, can produce complex visual hallucinations of people, scenes, animals, and more as well as distortions of visual perception.

As endometriosis can lead to anatomical distortions and adhesions ( the fibrous bands that form between tissues and organs following recovery from an injury ), the causality may be easy to understand ; however, the link between infertility and endometriosis remains enigmatic when the extent of endometriosis is limited.

Infertility can be related to scar formation and anatomical distortions due to the endometriosis ; however, endometriosis may also interfere in more subtle ways: cytokines and other chemical agents may be released that interfere with reproduction.

Much of the aid can be better understood when considering the economic distortions caused by the war.

Another way of saying this is that if all forms of dark energy are ignored, then the curvature of the universe can be determined by measuring the average density of matter within it, assuming that all matter is evenly distributed ( rather than the distortions caused by ' dense ' objects such as galaxies ).

We can change ourselves by learning to challenge and refute our own thoughts, particularly a number of specific mistaken thought patterns called " cognitive distortions.
