Freaky Thing About Gravity

They figured it out. They're just not telling anyone.

Ah, yes. And "they" are doing it for our own good, right? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Here is somewhat of a theory that tries to explain the interconnectedness of everything (gravity operates between all matter in our universe, etc).

I'm not saying this is scientific, and that site probably has some weird superstitious tendencies, but I found this particular page quite eloquent.

except they have ideas.

One theory is that there is a particle called a graviton. There are places looking for this right now LIGO in Louisiana and VIRGO in Italy are two of them.

String theory also tries to explain gravity.

Yes they do not know for sure what causes gravity, but to say they have no ideas on the subject is not exactly true

Why isnt anyone talking about bending spacetime? or has that theory gotten thrown out w/o me knowing it?

It hasn’t been thrown out as far as I know, but it just hasn’t been that satisfactory. What thing in empty space is being bent? And what attribute of a massive object creates this bending in the first place?

edit - As far as what’s being bent, I suppose it’s spacetime, but I think the pertinent question is how a massive object so effects spacetime.

All those M-Theorists and Loop Quantum Gravity theorists would probably disagree.

and scientist have absolutely no idea why you even exist [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

When scientists say that spacetime is being bent by the presence of mass, it is in a way an analogy. It describes what happens, but not how. It is just a way to think of it. This analogy came from relativity.

[MelchyBeau]

It is called Minkowski space if you want to look it up

[StupidAcesSigh]

Matter warps space time; that warp is gravity. Duh.
