I'd prefer if the video was titled "How to highlight words quickly & accurately using ur mouse".

@Evaluat0r - what a moron of the first class. Why does the internet attract so many time wasting, non-productive users, always there to critisize and never do anything useful themselves, perhaps it's because they ARE time wasteing, non-productive, using Morons.

That's what I'm saying. Here the principles of gravity and it's effects are explained, but nothing of what gravity actually is are concluded. All the same, I like your vid, because of how well you explain the principles. that's 5 stars. =)

[ankhneteru]

This is only the beginning of an explanation, gravity, time, space and light are all linked. To explain gravity we must explore and understand the other three. Imagine a ball floating down a river and not being able to see the river, we would say the ball is being pulled by a force. In reality it is ...

[ankhneteru]

...difficult to see what is really happening: the river take the ball, but the flow of the river comes from its height, the river water comes from the top of the mountain because of rain, the rain clouds came from sea water evaporation and this was driven by the sun - the power behind the ball moving (the cause) in this case is the sun....

[ankhneteru]

...Likewise with gravity we see an effect and assume it is the Earth's mass which causes it, this is only part of the answer gravities power comes from space as well as from the Earth.

In fact the effect we seen as gravity has its fundamental cause in the quantum world - see my website for more info.

@ankhneteru - No,there is a misunderstanding situation here, the only wasteing time person here is YOU, cause the great titles you're giving to ur videos are nothing but basic physics any stupid can find in any secondary level physics book. GO SEE WHAT REAL PHYSICISTS ARE TALKING ABOUT.

Actually you can show mathematically that if gravity wasnt instantaneous and moved the speed of light only, then the earth would lose its present orbit and shoot off, as we would be attracted continuously to where the sun "was" a few minutes ago.

[rotagen5]

Glad to hear someone on the right track, the atom as a "standing wave" idea is not mine by the way,(it explains the dual nature in a simpler fashion).. I can't seem to find the web page that introduced that model. interesting stuff.

@rotagen5

Indeed the (bowling ball on a membrane ) analogy is lame because in order for it to work there has to be another source of gravity working from under the membrane.

About the speed of gravity, yes, because gravity is a force that works in a field around (heavy)objects.

Because it is in a field it has nothing to do with speeds; it is already there so it works instantaneously.

[rotagen5]

The curvature of space-time einstein thing (bowling ball on a membrane) is actually a pretty lame analogy in that it assumes gravity already exists in order for the analogy to work ! Actually some new thinking on the nature of the atom (that it is in reality a standing wave) also gives a better gravity model. Also, gravity does act instantaneously, it is not propogated at speed of light as some say, otherwise the lag would decay planetary orbits, etc.

Go Mr. Badham!!!!

zzzzz

BUT.. any model of weights on imaginary fabric are illusory. No such curvature exists, real or imaginary - in space of three or even thirty dimensions, as gravity is the consequence of known effects, not an effect which causes consequence. I will explain this within a few months in a video, and I haven't more than three elementary physics classes behind me.
