@markcumbriauk im not completely sure, but i think it is refering to the shape of the fabric of space-time. If the universe was round then that just means that there is a fourth demention that curves the other three. Think of it like an ant that thinks the earth is flat, but it is in fact spherical, governed by an invisible (to the ant) 3rd demention. The fact that the universe is flat means that the 4th D is not bending the universe, equivilant of a flat earth for the ant.
You want to act smart with all those calculations the average human can't simply not comprehend and asume those smartasses know what they talking about. But you just sound plain stupid to me. The same mistake people made in the middleages when they thought earth was flat.
According to some calculations visible universe is the size of an atom compared to the whole universe that we cannot see. So measuring w/ these lessors would not work because we are measuring so little of the universe so it maybe be curved kind of like a balloon.
What I know... Gravity is particle based but it flows through dense areas of space and matter. Gravitons can change into energy and matter. It is called coalescence. The tiniest stuff "gravitons" glopping together over a long period of time to form energy and eventually the big stuff, "matter". A black hole is simply a big collection of energy that has been spun in counter tendency manner. When enough energy with normal spin enters the black hole, the black hole dissipates.
This simply shows the result of a test, but is not deemed as fact yet, due to the low res information the scientists had to work with. Also the term 'flat' doesn't mean what some think it does. The universe isn't 'flat' but the boundary of the universe appears to be a flat plane, but that was simply the result of a test with many assumptions and blanks filled in using reasonable estimations. This is simply an interesting test result, but we need more information before it is accepted.
When people claimed the Earth was flat, they had no scientific/mathematical evidence. It wasn't until we had it did we find out it was curved. We are using the same math and science that proved the Earth is round to prove the universe is flat. It's not an empty claim. Yet though it is "flat" it's also infinitely curved, expanding yet not into anything, These contradictions about it's shape may be the result of us trying to give a 3D model of something that has more than 3 dimensions.
Flat? Scientists think they are so smart. Us humans are very stupid comared to the rest of existance. The earth was flat once and that was thrown out. the earth was the center of the universe and our solar system...that was thrown out. heres one for you. The planets didnt form from dust coming together, rather, the sun blows out a mass from time to time forming planets . Just gotta muddy the waters and make everyone pause a second.. By the way, why do these satelites map as a sphere, not flat?
@andjusticeforall2010 You misunderstand what this guy means by flat, although i think he didn't understand the test himself, read my previous post to better understand.
My head is really screwed over this. Whenever I think of flat I think of two dimensions but I can't ignore the fact I can physically move in three dimensions so a flat universe just doesn't make any sense, unless the third dimension we experience is some kind of weird illusion. I would really like to see another video explaining how we perceive existence in a flat universe because giving an answer like the triangles add up just comes across as wacko.
@slightlytwistedagain same thing with me dude it screws with my head. i think that there is another universe that intersects ours so that it makes a sort of "t" shape. we exist in both universes at the same time and its not flat anymoe but more like a box in the center of the intersecting universe. we are probably located in the center of the 2 intersecting universes and when we move out of the center we experience spaggetification.
@Vonlava have you ever heard about the theory that somthing changes only after we look at it. its called the quantum theory i think, there are to seperate universes when we deside stuff so in one universe you make one desicion and in the other you make a different desision, the "intersecting universe" i was talking about could be the other universe. i may not be very smart but I have my believes. think before you speak, einstein.
The universe must be a sphere for everything in the universe is spherical. Protons, Electrons, Neutrons, Atoms, Planets, and Stars. The only shape which can expand perfectly everywhere at once is a sphere. It touches the same amount of space on all sides.
How is the universe flat if things travel in three dimensions? I don't get it. Unless there is something that scientists are forgetting to mention...some important qualifier or whatnot.
@TheAnubisDrake - Wait, imagine the whole Universe is a stack of papers? If the Universe is a stack of papers that add up to 3 dimensions, that still leaves us with 3 dimensions, unless we are bound by one sheet of paper, which gets us back to why there are 3 dimensions in that single sheet of paper. Something's fishy with that geometric test they did with the giant triangle...
@matreyia Yes, the universe is 3D. The test in question here was just to show that the universe itself is not curved (not that it is a single plane) except in close proximity to gravitational bodies.
@TheAnubisDrake My problem is with how they show visualizations of the Universe. It's always a sphere (as a planet or star) floating on top of a sheet of stuff. Then they say space-time is that sheet of stuff, then what the hell is the sphere floating in? They need to make a better visual model. These old ones serve to confuse people who see more than what they show...such as the space above their sheet of space-time grid.
@difficultsyllables There's a difference. We thought Earth was flat because old dudes in dresses that wear funny hats (I think they're called religious people) said so. We think the Universe is flat because we have MATHEMATICAL data that says so. You must realize, this is NOT the only experiment that says the universe is flat; string theory suggests the same. Science DOES learn from it's mistakes, however, it wasn't SCIENCE's mistake when we thought Earth was flat.
@difficultsyllables Astrology: The study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs. -- Nice try genius, I think you were looking for the word "astronomy". Maybe you should stop pretending you know anything about physics, because it's just making you look stupid.
@ScienceofWinning Who says that my astrology prof. doesn't know about this? By that logic you must think that english teachers don't know anything about math. I'm in my third year of university so calling me stupid makes YOU look stupid, and frankly, a little rude. I did a 10 page essay on the theory of relativity alone when I was in high school. What have you done? Trolled on youtube to make yourself feel better. I know a lot more about this shit than you.
@difficultsyllables If you're taking astrology you may as well take alchemy too ROFL. & I'm a high school senior, top of my AP Physics class, top of my Trigonometry class, I wrote a 12 page paper on Edward Witten's unified string theory & how it could explain quantum gravity last year, I'm doing a year long self-imposed project on the scientific properties of neutrinos and possible research implications RIGHT NOW, & I study at colleges in my area. That's just a small bit of what I've done.
@ScienceofWinning That's pretty impressive. When you graduate as valedictorian with honors in every course (like I did) look me up. Also, when your in University shit gets a lot more tight and doing self-imposed projects are almost impossible. Sure I would if I could, but time is a factor that I do not have. Just out of curiosity - what are you planning on doing after high school? You seem like a bright young kid, however you also seem like you've got an attitude problem.
@difficultsyllables &, might I say, that your only rebuttal to assertion was "My astrology professor begs to differ,". This leads me to assume you have no REAL argument & you're merely wasting my time. I'm going to go do something productive now. Have fun with astrology.
@ScienceofWinning If you had any logic, you'd realize there is no real argument. There is no proof that it's flat, there's no proof that it's spherical or hyperbolic. It's a theory, and at some point, some group of scientists are going to come along and find a flaw with it. Humans are a mere spec in the universe. No matter how hard we try, or how much evidence we "find", we will never know what the universe looks like. There could be billions of universes. Use your head.
@difficultsyllables It appears as though I will get very little done tonight. Humans are utterly insignificant on the scale of the universe or the scale of a quark. That, however, doesn't matter. What does matter is that thanks to good ol' fashioned evolution, we happened to fill the niche that uses its mind to overcome. What is your major? Because no physicist I've met or heard of would say that we will 'never' understand the shape of the universe. It may take VERY long, but still.
@difficultsyllables Though it may not have CONCRETE proof, it is still the best working theory that we have right now. That being the case, we have to use it until it is disproven, so, for all mathematical intents & purposes, the universe is flat. Not to say that it is flat like a piece of paper is flat, but within 11 dimensional hyperspace, the 3 spacial dimensions we experience are 'flat'. & there are almost certainly more universes than ours.
In my brain there is no such thing as gravity. Gravity is just a extra confusing word someone decided to make up. Its all MAGNETISM. thats the only problem I have with this video
magnetism is a by-product of the electro-magenetic force, while gravity is its own force itself. you cannot create an atmosphere with the electromagnetic force, only with gravity.
@UnrealChainz420x2 Magnetism can make an object have a greater pull than its mass sugest it would have with gravity alone. Thats why they mustn't be confused. Gravity isn't confusing at all.
@matsrudi Oh, fuck me, you people have no idea what you're blabbering about! Do you even know what the gravitational constant is? Or the strength ratio of gravity to the other fundamental forces of the universe is? Do you even know WHAT the fundamental forces of the universe ARE?? ELECTROmagnetism does NOT affect the 'pull' of an object at the distances that Newtonian gravity is relevant, nor does it affect matter in anywhere near the same way. STOP SPREADING IGNORANCE.
@ScienceofWinning I don't want to fuck you. You mad, bro? Spreading ignorance? I don't agree with you. Thats it. Atleast I'm not christian. Then I'd be spreading ignorance like a mad man...Or a christian man. Oh wait, is it ignorant of me calling religious people mad for being religious alone? yeye, gues I'm a hypocrite.
@ScienceofWinning Btw, if elctromagnetism affects matter differently than gravity....Doesn't that mean there is a difference to it and gravity? I don't think you have the slightes idea at all what YOU are blabbering about. If gravity was the same as magnetism matter with non-magnetic properties would be weightless on earth. This is not the case. Witch means, they are not the same thing.
I'm sort of getting this, but I'm still really baffled by this. I know for a fact cosmologists don't mean flat as in 2-dimensional. Haha I love science, you just don't stop learning when you get into it, and things like this keep those gears turning in your brain
@rhinnawi95 The test was done a 2D plane simply to show that the universe is not curved. The universe as a whole is not a 2D plane, but we don't need to do a 3D test. If one plane is not curved then it is a fairly safe assumption that none of them are curved.
@cassidy99ful Imagine raisins in raisin bread. As you bake the loaf of bread the loaf gets bigger- it expands. As the loaf of bread expands the raisins inside it move farther away from eachother. Now imagine that loaf of bread extending infinitely in all directions and that the raisins are galaxies. The galaxies move away from eachother, but the Universe was always infinite.
p.s. I actually go for the Round Universe theory myself, but that's how the Flat Universe theory works.
@URProductions Truth be told, cosmoligists really aren't certain that the Universe is flat. Stephen Hawkins, for instance, holds to the Round Universe theory.
From when are those results? Is there a consensus by now? It seems to me that e.g. Paul Davies says that he beliefs the universe is not flat, but that the curvature is so miniscule that we simply cannot detect it. About a year ago, there had been a calculation that the universe is not flat and could have a minimum volume of about 250x the visible universe, i.e. 250x 90 billion LY 'orbs'. Davies wrote that in Goldilocks and I hope I don't misquote him from memory.
"with an accuracy of 15% and an error of 2%.." It would seem as though the possibility remains that the Universe IS round but could be so large that it appears flat, much like the surface of the Earth appears flat, so long as the roundness falls within that margin of error.
@URProductions Excellent point. Though most of the universe is visible to us and so that is not the case. With the earth it only appears flat since you can only see a very short bit of it, with the universe we can see most of it and so it is not the same.
@TheAnubisDrake Not necessarily. The Universe is only 14 billion years old and so the farthest matter we can see in it is that which is close enough to us that it's light has had time to reach us in those 14 billion years. Because of the expansion of the Universe this matter is now approximately 46 billion light-years away and represents the edge of the observable Universe.
Whether the Universe is flat or round there is almost certainly much more of it beyond this "cosmic horizon".
Eep. The comments below reflect so much complete misunderstanding and partial comprehension of the concepts that it's really impossible to straighten them all out in just a short posting. Cosmologists use the word "flat" in a different sense when talking about the geometry of the Universe. Suppose you lived in 2-D on a sheet of paper. Is that paper laying "flat" on a table or is it rolled up into a tube? The sheet of paper is 2-D in both cases, but its overall geometry is different.
we are like the old times.. when people believe that the world is flat.. no people tend to believe that the universe is flat.. we only say a glimpse of the universe... and now we are saying that the universe is flat.. please.....
@mousematcher he means space time is flat... if space-time wasn't flat, then in theory you could look far out enough into space and see earth, as described in BaronMeyer's comment as the light would gradually curve around the boundaries of space time...
Gravity creates the mass! Mass doesn't create gravity! Here where all scientists failed. Gravity is only & most powerful governing force exists in the universe. You cannot possibly take only active part of the universe & say that is the universe. Energy itself accumulates certain areas it has limits it doesn't mean universe look like that. General relativity is not even close to explain how our universe looks like.
@Levon9404 Mass warps and curves space, and matter follows the curves. They compliment each other. Gravity is very weak compared to the other forces (electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear forces). For example; it takes the whole planet to hold a paperclip down, but a small fridge magnet will easily pick it up.
@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy Mass never warps! If your statement is correct you have to prove that on surface of the earth after all earth made of mass & energy. You got it all wrong about the gravity, it very strong close to the source, it weakens farther it goes from the source. gravity pulling force works according by the density. Higher the density stronger the pulling force & lower the density weaker the force of the gravity.
@Levon9404 What I'm saying is mass causes space to warp and curve. Then matter follows those curves. Your right about it being stronger where more matter is present, but it needs a lot of matter to be strong. A magnetic cube that is 1"X1"X1" will have a much much stronger magnetic force than the gravity created by a block of wood the same size.
@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy You still inaccurate about the mass! Mass it doesn't creates curves! Gravity force creates curves over another gravity force. Both are energy force, or they will pull each other or they will force each other away. One of big factor take look our solar system, Earth has the moon, & other large planets within solar system they have multiple moons. Even though sun has the most powerful gravity force but it cannot penetrate earth's gravity force.
@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy The reason sun cannot penetrate earth's gravity force both they have similar energy force. Earth's energy attracts suns energy but it doesn't allowed suns energy to go through earth's energy force. About the magnets it functions completely different than gravity force it has nothing to do the way gravity works.
@Levon9404 The reason I was telling you about the magnets was to show you that gravity is very weak compared to the other three fundamental forces. I know they function completely different.
If you don't think mass causes space-time to bend and curve, please go tell that to the leading physicists. They'll want to know what evidence and tests you have conducted to prove Einstein wrong.
@Levon9404 mass can be described by particle physics, density is a general term only, it would be better to relate mass to matter on fundamentaly large discussion objects
@Faifstarr The way I see mass is the collection of matters. I believe matters are individual atoms or molecules combine in one place. Because of it scientists refer to big object by the mass.
@MrPlatonist Nah, I don't need to wait for anyone and/or anything, cuz if I did, it would pass at least a 1000 years from now on and even then, who knows... ;) I have a better solution, open your mind. Be well. :)
Two comments: A) Does this rule out the possibility of a universe that bends in upon itself? and B) Could the fact that it's flat simply mean that we're seeing it from one point of view?
@Losuol Nothing bends in the universe scientists rely to much on the instruments & less on reality of true universe! Energy only bends within close range in solar systems like between large & small objects. I agree within you we see only small part of the universe. Because of it that would be wrong to say universe is flat.
here is my theory, we are in some guys back yard in an experiment gone wrong, and all these galaxies are microscopic compared to whats really out there LMFAO!!!!!!!!
I have nothing to say to the comments section that I'm seeing right now. The mix of arrogance, stupidity, and misinterpretation is so staggering I don't know what I am to say to straighten it all up.
Einstein's Theory of relativity is wrong! Neutrinos are faster than the speed of light. As for the size of the Universe, it's a drop of a water, just like the end scene in the Men in Black movie, galaxies are just like the germs in it. Size (importance) of the people? Well, what about them? :P
@belmordok I call it General Stupidity and Special Stupidity;)) Go see some of my wild explanations of magnets gravity and more. Be aware they're special, and if you focus you'll see I've ironed all the contradiction out;) There are about 200 science vids in my 450 and growing library
How do we know the universe is flat? Well, we DON'T lol. It's nothing more than just guessing. guessing is all there will ever be about the universe. Some people just like to think they know when it's obvious they don't.
You don't need just mass to create gravity. You can use centrifugal force as well to create it, and depending on how fast something spins the gravity varies, so you don't necessarily need large mass to have tremendous gravity.
@GMisurdaddy No it isn't. Gravity is caused by masses warping spacetime. When you make an object spins, this doesn't occur. They are using the centripetal force to mimic gravity. It's just another force.
Like a magnet. It's gravity that causes two magnets to attract. Instead it's the electromagnetic force.
@GMisurdaddy That's not 'real' gravity, but artificial gravity. It simulates gravity by making the objects accelerate to a surface. But it is not a gravitational field.
i do understand that dimensions are difficult to understand and that our reasoning of 3 dimensions is normal in our environment. Phisics showed us that there are 4 dimensions and that one is not so obvious to a person. In fact many ppl know that there are 4 but don't have a clue what are they talking about. I believe there are many dimensions that are w8ing to be discovered. But i fly don't get it how the universe can be flat. Math don't lie that is fact but i still don't get it how is it flat?
i don't think the theory works because the galaxies aren't on the 'surface' of the sphere, like it is for earth. the universe could be a sphere with galaxies 'inside' it not just on the edge. =\
If the universe is flat, and expanding, perhaps it lies in an ultra sized petrie dish. Makes a little sense. And to the universe where that dish is, macroscopic would not begin to describe the size of our galaxy.
@Zanazuah Umm Cunt I love science and space & not very into religion. I was talking about the assumption of the universe being flat... which I dont believe
@Vagitables sadly, you haven't any evidence for an euclidian universe, wich could bring you a Nobel prize, while every evidence points twardo an universe of infinite curvature, wich means flat... In that context, flat doesn't mean 2 dimensional...
Yeah, There might be a beginning before the big bang, since, if you already know, scientists say that the "COSMIC EGG" was smaller than the smallest atoms. The universe is this large because of the endless expansion which started since the beginning of time...
Yeah, There might be a beginning before the big bang, since, if you already know, scientist says that the "COSMIC EGG" was smaller than the smallest atoms. The universe is this large because of the endless expansion which started since the beginning of time...
The title should say space time is flat, not the universe. This would make it more easy to understand. But I understand why people are confused. Their just isn't good words to explain the actual characteristic that they are trying to describe. This basically only means that two parallel lines stretching through space time will remain parallel forever. In theory if the universe wasn't "flat" then wouldn't light slowly bend around back to us? Then we could look into the sky and see earth. XD
@BaronMeyers I had to go back and read about Euclidean geometry, Riemannian geometry and more. Then I realized that this video is discrediting General Relativity and was happy again.
For A start I thought this man was trying to say magnetic and gravity structures are flat and not 3D. I was perplexed. I was getting itchy fingers to start discrediting it. After I calmed down I then I read your comment and completely agree with you. You explain it well, so did the video sort of.
@gotohellgooglization All three models expand in all directions, however their fates are different in varying degrees. Cosmoligists are well aware that the universe is expanding, however they had different expanding models that they needed to narrow down. This is a big step in our understanding of nature. Conclusion: think before you speak. It's great that Youtube can help to bring science to a larger audience, but sometimes that audience is a bit too large.
ok... if the universe is flat, then it has bounds. if it has bounds, what is beyond the bounds? if f there is a big bang, a beginning, then there was something before and outside of that moment. as we get better at knowing what we are looking at, we will see a much different universe and what we define as the start, end and bounds.
Lol. This will be like a Christopher Columbus thing. In like a billion years or so, someone will Try to go to the edge of the universe (Which i realize would be hard to do since the universe is always expanding) And he will end up going in a circle. MIND F*CK
if you have mass you dont have gravity you have a gravitational field, you need a relative matter to create gravity, also i dont really understand how the end of the video has any resemblance to the beggining and i feel stupefied watching this whole thing... all in all this 6 minute video made me think more then 8 hours in school and i appreciate it
(i watched this video after school, i aint that stupid)
mmmm....presuming uniformity in an expanding universe from the perspective of 'we are the center' is pitifully skewed logic...and since a unified theory is still in debate a spherical map of a flat universe with limited perspective DOES NOT define what we still do not understand from our limited perspective...so it goes
i know wat they mean by flat, flat like flat home which is vast but flat in shape.
But how can big bang which supposed to create spherical universe, turns into flat universe. plzz anybody light on this statement. and how much 'flat universe' concept acquire acceptance among scientists community.
@ak220880 I'll take a wild guess and pin it on gravity. AFAIK gravity is the law of nature that applies everywhere, and the typical circular disc-like shape created by it is seen all over the universe. Just a wild guess though...
God my brain hurts lol

If the Universe is a stack of papers that add up to 3 dimensions, that still leaves us with 3 dimensions, unless we are bound by one sheet of paper, which gets us back to why there are 3 dimensions in that single sheet of paper.

@matreyia Yes, the universe is 3D. The test in question here was just to show that the universe itself is not curved (not that it is a single plane) except in close proximity to gravitational bodies.

@TheAnubisDrake My problem is with how they show visualizations of the Universe. It's always a sphere (as a planet or star) floating on top of a sheet of stuff. Then they say space-time is that sheet of stuff, then what the hell is the sphere floating in? They need to make a better visual model. These old ones serve to confuse people who see more than what they show...such as the space above their sheet of space-time grid.

@difficultsyllables There's a difference. We thought Earth was flat because old dudes in dresses that wear funny hats (I think they're called religious people) said so. We think the Universe is flat because we have MATHEMATICAL data that says so. You must realize, this is NOT the only experiment that says the universe is flat; string theory suggests the same. Science DOES learn from it's mistakes, however, it wasn't SCIENCE's mistake when we thought Earth was flat.

@difficultsyllables It appears as though I will get very little done tonight. Humans are utterly insignificant on the scale of the universe or the scale of a quark. That, however, doesn't matter.

@difficultsyllables Though it may not have CONCRETE proof, it is still the best working theory that we have right now. That being the case, we have to use it until it is disproven, so, for all mathematical intents & purposes, the universe is flat. Not to say that it is flat like a piece of paper is flat, but within 11 dimensional hyperspace, the 3 spacial dimensions we experience are 'flat'. & there are almost certainly more universes than ours.

@rhinnawi95 The test was done a 2D plane simply to show that the universe is not curved. The universe as a whole is not a 2D plane, but we don't need to do a 3D test. If one plane is not curved then it is a fairly safe assumption that none of them are curved.

From when are those results? Is there a consensus by now? It seems to me that e.g. Paul Davies says that he beliefs the universe is not flat, but that the curvature is so miniscule that we simply cannot detect it. About a year ago, there had been a calculation that the universe is not flat and could have a minimum volume of about 250x the visible universe, i.e. 250x 90 billion LY 'orbs'. Davies wrote that in Goldilocks and I hope I don't misquote him from memory.

"with an accuracy of 15% and an error of 2%.." It would seem as though the possibility remains that the Universe IS round but could be so large that it appears flat, much like the surface of the Earth appears flat, so long as the roundness falls within that margin of error.

@URProductions Excellent point. Though most of the universe is visible to us and so that is not the case. With the earth it only appears flat since you can only see a very short bit of it, with the universe we can see most of it and so it is not the same.
TheAnubisDrake 1 week ago
@TheAnubisDrake Not necessarily. The Universe is only 14 billion years old and so the farthest matter we can see in it is that which is close enough to us that it's light has had time to reach us in those 14 billion years. Because of the expansion of the Universe this matter is now approximately 46 billion light-years away and represents the edge of the observable Universe.
Whether the Universe is flat or round there is almost certainly much more of it beyond this "cosmic horizon".

Eep. The comments below reflect so much complete misunderstanding and partial comprehension of the concepts that it's really impossible to straighten them all out in just a short posting. Cosmologists use the word "flat" in a different sense when talking about the geometry of the Universe. Suppose you lived in 2-D on a sheet of paper. Is that paper laying "flat" on a table or is it rolled up into a tube? The sheet of paper is 2-D in both cases, but its overall geometry is different.

Gravity creates the mass! Mass doesn't create gravity! Here where all scientists failed. Gravity is only & most powerful governing force exists in the universe. You cannot possibly take only active part of the universe & say that is the universe. Energy itself accumulates certain areas it has limits it doesn't mean universe look like that. General relativity is not even close to explain how our universe looks like.
Levon9404 4 weeks ago
@Levon9404 Mass warps and curves space, and matter follows the curves. They compliment each other. Gravity is very weak compared to the other forces (electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear forces). For example; it takes the whole planet to hold a paperclip down, but a small fridge magnet will easily pick it up.
aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy 3 weeks ago
@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy Mass never warps! If your statement is correct you have to prove that on surface of the earth after all earth made of mass & energy. You got it all wrong about the gravity, it very strong close to the source, it weakens farther it goes from the source. gravity pulling force works according by the density. Higher the density stronger the pulling force & lower the density weaker the force of the gravity.
Levon9404 3 weeks ago
@Levon9404 What I'm saying is mass causes space to warp and curve. Then matter follows those curves. Your right about it being stronger where more matter is present, but it needs a lot of matter to be strong. A magnetic cube that is 1"X1"X1" will have a much much stronger magnetic force than the gravity created by a block of wood the same size.

Even though sun has the most powerful gravity force but it cannot penetrate earth's gravity force.

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy The reason sun cannot penetrate earth's gravity force both they have similar energy force.

About the magnets it functions completely different than gravity force it has nothing to do the way gravity works.
