  • Strong Force weak force BS bought and paid for physics profs get out of the books and into nature. What works? a-bomb real; read Einstein.

    Our AC is real; study Tesla.

    Moray was real, Searl, Bedini was real. Shane you nailed that creep he is a hireling he is NOT ALLOWED to tell you hoe gravity works. Gravity is zero point space PUSHING on everything. As we go into space the air mixes (thins) it and zero point "space" begins to surround us and we begin to float at about what 90 miles up?

  • I don't really see how that answer is bizarre...I understood it perfectly.

  • @ianmathwiz7 Really?  Please enlighten me. BTW: The ants he uses in his explanation would stick to the balled up piece of paper because they have sticky feet, not due to gravity. His explanation is fundamentally flawed. But, please... explain it to me.

  • @shane71foote He meant a piece of paper that's been crumpled, then laid out (so it's a flat piece of paper with wrinkles on it). An ant on one of the wrinkles would feel tugged in one direction (down the wrinkle), and he might attribute this to some kind of "force." Likewise, we live in a universe where spacetime is distorted, and as such we are pulled in certain directions. We label this "force" gravity.

  • @ianmathwiz7 Thank you for that...However, the explanation you reference was in Kaku's book "Einstein's cosmos" and it does "kind of" apply to simple terrestrial gravity. It had nothing to do with my question. My question was simple. It was about the mechanics of gravity that takes place between the Sun and the Earth and how can it get here while pulling at the same time. If you could offer any insight to this, or even a guess, and would be willing to share, that would be great.

  • @shane71foote Now I'm not completely sure what your question is...do you mean how does gravity allow the Earth to orbit the Sun? Because the mechanisms by which gravity works on the Earth is the same as how it works anywhere else. The paper analogy does work fairly well for this scenario, as well: imagine we had a piece of paper with a large well in it (representing the Sun's gravitational well), and we flicked a marble along the well. If we could eliminate friction, the marble would orbit.

  • @ianmathwiz7 Thank you for all of your good explanations. You've given me much to ponder on. Question: Are all of your explanations based on Einstein's theories or are there others you use. Did you learn any of this in college or university? BTW You have me pegged correctly as a "layperson". I have never taken a physics class. I have just studied Einstein a bit on my own. After doing so I had a great epiphany about mathematics.

  • @shane71foote I learned (and continue to learn) relativity in school, as well as the standard geometric interpretation of it. My own interpretation of it (as a distortion of the causal structure of spacetime) is based solely on relativity itself; it has to do with the fact that an abstract structure called a "light cone" will tip in a gravitational well, and I think this could reasonably be described as a change in causality.

  • By the way, I'll be the first to admit that the interpretation of general relativity as the presence of energy distorting the geometry of spacetime is somewhat confusing to the layperson; I prefer to express it in terms of distorting the causal structure of spacetime. I'm not going to get into that, however, unless you really want me to.

  • Its a bizarre answer because gravity is bizarre lol. as has already been said, gravity is basically the result of the curving or crumpling of spacetime, similar to the effect a bowling ball has on a trampoline. The sun, with its massive mass, severely crumples the spacetime around it, so earth continually 'falls' into the crumple. In general relativity, gravity is not actually considered a force hence the old idea of gravity 'pulling' is obsolete.

  • he means to say that what makes the Earth revolve around the sun is the curvature of space due to the sun's massive gravity. In other words gravity bends the fabric of space-time. (General Relativity)

  • ya wtf i tried to follow it ahah wtf?

  • how is that bizarre?

  • @starlogic99 itz bizarre that this goon didn't upload the complete show...
