Theories of Gravity.....
 

One thread raging on here opened up the discussion of the theory of gravity. One poster said that was a topic for another thread, so here it is!

Quantum gravity takes singularity out of black holes - space - 29 May 2013 - New Scientist

I don't believe in gravity. Newton was wrong. Prove it.

In the beginning, God created gravity.....

Don't let gravity get you down.

Prove it. What created god?

This thread is ripe for dead baby jokes involving the THEORY of gravity.

Come up on the roof, you can see for yourself. :D

:scholar:

Matter sucks.

On an infinite scale.

You guys need to deal with this issue with more gravity.

OK fine, here is the video version for the imagination impaired :D.

I thought that Einsteins long accepted theory of gravity was in some dispute. His theory was the bending of light was the causative basically if I remember.

To me it is more a functional characteristic of the quanity of mass. The greater the mass the more attraction it generates. Density of the mass of course would also play into this.

For an example the moon has a much lesser mass than the earth so it has only 1/25th of the gravity of earth. This can be disputed as there is less light being refracted around it as well I suppose.

I like simple explanations. When the moon is shadowed by the earth does it's gravity system fail? Or vice versa.

During a total eclipse does the earth undergo a signifigant gravity reduction? I think not. Of course I can always be in serious error.

Anyways, however it goes and whatever is right. I have not fallen off this place yet.:D

I wanted to be the first to post a smart azz comment on this thread.....drat!
