Does anyone have any idea what gravity truly is??????????

It's prob'ly about as "valid" as evolution.
I subscribe to intelligent falling myself.
I didn't take physics so I don't know much about this. I have read a little on it and know Eintein's and Newton's theorys do not add up. If you use both of their equations it equals infinity. Perhaps they are both wrong.

alphieb said:Einstein's theory of relativity and Quantum Mechanics mathematically equals infinity if you plug them together. Who knows if that has something to do with gravity or not, it could. (mathematically).....What other explanations.
Kandahar said:Oh, I thought you were talking about Einstein and Newton's theories. You're right that Einstein's theory breaks down at the quantum level, because we don't yet understand the nature of gravity. String theory could possibly unify (or replace) both the Einsteinian model and the quantum model, but there's no evidence of that yet.

goligoth said:As defined by my physics book, gravity is the attractive forces between to masses. The earth is considerably larger than we are therefore we are attracted to it.
I don't like this theory because I went to my physics teacher with a book and asked her why said book wasn't attracted to my head like so (I then slammed the book against my head :2brickwal ) because they obviously don't have the same mass, I think that there should be at least a little attractive force between the two. According to common logic there isn't any gravity between my head and my book. She stared blankly at me and shrugged.
So uh......
In physic gravity is -9.8 meters/sec so they obviously found some way to measure it...
