What is gravity? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon


I've heard of gravitons, have they ever been detected?

Gravitons are emitted from everything which has mass to pull on everything else that has mass, yes? So my cup of hot chocolate is having some small interaction with everything else in the universe, yes? What is that, an extra dimentional thing?

What is gravity?

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)


Gravitons haven't been detected yet. Physicists are much more divided about their existence than on the existence of the Higgs (which pretty much everyone would bet on as a sure thing).

I have a strong doubt that the LHC will be able to tell us. Also, we don't expect any results from the LHC for another 2ish years. And that will be early preliminary results.

To note, my experiment ran early in 2006 and we just started getting preliminary results last year (and it is a lot less complicated than the LHC experiments).

Thanks for the info JM.

Gravity is weird, such a weak force on a galactic scale, i remember reading odd theories that's a cross over from other dimensions and random things like that.

Gravity's a fraud perpetrated by the establishment and the entrenched Newtonian movements. It goes against the very notion of God and Intelligent Falling.

Actually, on a galactic scale, gravity is very strong because the other forces don't propagate well over long distances. That's why galaxies and stars and the like are able to form. On the smaller scale, the strong nuclear force and electromagnetism are much more relevant (and powerful).

Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe.

Einstein spent the last several years of his life trying to unify them with an explanation of a single theory of force. He coudn't do it.

Einstien differed with Newton in that Newton thought that if the sun were to just pop out of existance the planets would immediatly fly off. In other words gravity is instantaious. Einstien believed that since nothing can move faster than light gravity must move slower and so therefore it would take at least 8 minutes before the earth lost its orbit.

I'm with Newton on this btw. My very first announcement on this ever, and y o u... w e r e... t h e r e.

I consider gravity to be an extra dimentional intrusion into our universe. That extra dimention isn't subject to time.

Gravity is a delicious sauce made of meat and vegetable juices into which someone has stuck 'it' in it! Why they would do that, I have no idea, but it still tastes fine.

Gravity is Texan slang for gravitos, which is Mexican for "a little gravy". As in, "Hey, boy, pass me a little gravity for my mashed taters.".
