• n  (medicine) a curving or bending; often abnormal
  curvature of the spine
• n  the rate of change (at a point) of the angle between a curve and a tangent to the curve
• n  the property possessed by the curving of a line or surface

• If an object is dense enough, the curvature can become nearly infinite, perhaps opening a tunnel that connects distant regions of space-time as though they were next door.
• At sea level the curvature of the earth limits the range of vision to 2.
• Ergo, the extra curvature must come from some unseen energyjust about the amount, it turns out, suggested by the supernova observations.

• Academy at Shawnee students launch weather balloon
  LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Students at the Academy of Shawnee sent a weather balloon high into the sky on Monday from Floyds Fork Park. The experiment tested to see how far the balloon which was equipped with a small box carrying three cameras, would go into the atmosphere. "One thing that surprised me, is that when you go up that high, you can see the curvature of the earth. You can see the ...

  Measuring the curvature of space caused by gravity is one of the most sensitive ways to learn how Einstein's theory of General Relativity relates to quantum physics. Uniting gravity theory with quantum theory is a major goal of 21st-Century...
