gravity is made up of gods little hands pulling everthing to where it needs to be

in ancient tiems it were called GRAB DIETY but then by laziness of modern man it became GRAV ITY

hey. idiots. the higgs mechanism results in mass for elementary particles, not gravity for enormous clumps of particles.

gravity is made of time and mass. there is no gravity without both, and adding anything else produces no effect. therefore it must be made of time and mass.

and no the higgs mass is not the same as gravity mass. the higgs mechanism is for inertia and poo poo.

nah its god

When we see things, that is when they "happen". It's the relativity of simultaneity.


Your Dead Gay Son posted:

Yeah that's why it's called space-time because everything is bound by the speed of light. Information is bound by the speed of light.

You can SAY that the suns light is "8 minutes old" but really, it's been 8 minutes old for the entire existence of the solar system to us. You can also say we're 8 minutes behind, kinda.

OK, I guess I see. But I thought the fact that gravity had a speed was still relevant to calculations. Like, this is all well and good if we're describing things that are happening to us, within our single reference frame. But if we're here on earth looking out into space, and we're describing two bodies in two different reference frames that are interacting with each other, like the sun and Mercury, wouldn't the relativity of simultaneity not apply in this case? Or would it all even out once we take into account the amount of time it takes all the information to reach us?

Seriously, this poo poo is confusing.

Heat is excited particles. Gravity is time and mass???? I don't like it. Not satisfactory. Besides there are still problems with our current models anyway

They're on Wikipedia I'm not gonna go get them tho

I don't really remember much from whatever I saw on the Discovery Channel, but it said gravity is made out of a neon green wireframe that the Earth distorts because it is so heavy.

My personal theory is that everything in the universe is a TINY bit magnetic, but not as magnetic as magnets and metal (which is why metal is heavy).

Entropic forces on bits of information at the cosmological horizon, acting holographically in the 4D space-time they encode.

This is also why the inertial mass is the same as the gravitational mass, because acceleration is already a temperature.

Going with this even if it is another way of saying mass is bending space time

Mass is just areas where space-time bunched up enough to solidify into a physical object, everything is space-time vibrating at different frequencies.

But without eyesight lingers a different living and looks

i cant tell if everyone in this thread is trolling but gravity has nothing to do with the higgs boson.
