A Simple Question

What Is Gravity?

Alarming Importance!

It's what you pour on a biscuity...

[sparkeyjames]

The force that gives small screws the ability to end up in the most out of the way places after you drop them.

[BobSch]

Such a serious subject so early in the morning. Gravity? It sucks.

[TB Roye]

Something you use to cover Roast Beef and Mashed Patatoes. I think we all nedd Gravity to keep us well grounded.

It is a body part mover. It moved my chin even with my navel.

It's that force that allows my wife to use a belt instead of a bra.

[Mr__Bill]

It's the reason we all are using that artificial sweetener.

Not sure if cabinetman wanted a serious answer, but I am still confused about whether gravity is from "gravitons" or from the "curvature of space" which is apparently only a way from a human being to interpret the reality that time slows down near mass, which somehow makes objects act as if space curves.

To be honest, I'm still not sold on the dual wave/particle nature of photons, so I'm sure not going to understand current theories on gravity.

I've tried reading some of the layman's books on these things and wind up more confused than when I started.

Gravity = the seriousness of this thread

Even the physicists are still not quite sure just what gravity is and how it functions but their working on it. Theories are just that until proven with rock solid experimental results as evidence. Until then all we can really say is that large concentrated amounts of mass attract other smaller amounts of mass for example small screws.

One of the things the multi-billion dollar LHC was/is supposed to help us understand better before they broke it... But I think the plan is to get it back up and runnning by the end of the year, so maybe then we'll know .

That is why Cab asked here - cause we know!

Gravity is just Gods little joke on us by saying....."You just think you can understand everything"
