Einsteins theory of gravity that was accepted as fact for decades.. The bending of light creates it I believe was the one . Has been discredited not that long ago.

I am not sure even if there are any new ideals about gravity with much merit. One large mystery that mankind still struggles with.

If the earths magnetic field is weakening. Since the earth is pretty much static or at least in the relatively short time frame man lives in. There may still be an unknown component that we have no ideal of what it is. We know there have to be things that are totally unknown as they leave some evidence of their existance. The true cause of gravity may be one of them.

I suspect the earths magnetic field could be subject to one of these at present unknown issues. It is somewhat strange that gravity the effects of it that are so easily understood. Yet the how it is generated remain unknown. That alone to me indicates that gravity may be based on some form of currently unknown or understood agent as well.

Einstein was cautioned about working on the problem of gravity. As the greatest minds that ever existed had tried before and failed in all their attempts to find the cause.

It is impossable to estimate just how much man will learn in his remaining time on the earth. There is also no way to estimate how much longer we humans will inhabit this planet.

More has been learnt in the last 100 years perhaps than in all the previous recorded time of mans existance on the planet. I wonder if we were given the oportunity to look at the world a thousand years from now what suprises we would see.

Not too much is predictable with any accuracy I feel. To me it is the same as a person might have thought a thousand years ago. The present period might overload that individual. What we take for granted would seem beyond his wildest imagination or even perception I suspect.

It is not acceptable to say from a scientific viewpoint that gravity just is what it is. Yet that might pretty well sum up the accurate knowledge at this point in time. This does leave a door open for a major discovery though at some point. Or perhaps still a lot of them. Some things they are able to examine now are scary in many ways. We have magnetic poles and a magnetic effect present. Plus of course iron in high quantity in the world.

This does not mean that a magnet as we know them is the only thing that might exist to produce the effect. We can only relate or link magnatisim to our current knowledge that may be very inadaquate.

It is pretty bad when the status of you dropping something and it hits the ground. We have to be content with just calling it the gravity effect. We apparently do not have a clue of the why it does this.
