Examples
Warped geometries acquire their full meaning when we substitute the variable y for t, time and x, for s, space. Then the d(y) factor of the spatial dimension becomes the effect of time that in words of Einstein 'curves space'. How it curves space will define one or other solution to a space-time world. For that reason different models of space-time use warped geometries. Many basic solutions of the Einstein field equations are warped geometries, for example the Schwarzschild solution and the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker models.
Also, warped geometries are the key building block of Randall-Sundrum models in particle physics.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
