What's gravity

@Ryderbike Gravity has never been proven to exist. Look it up.

@TBIman [i]Why[/i] are you so desperate to deny it exists, in the teeth of its patently obvious existence?

Its "cause" is still a puzzle, yes, a matter for the quantum physicists to try to untangle; but its obvious existence and effects are everyday experiences!

If you drop something it accelerates downwards at 9.8 metres/second^2 until it meets the floor. (It is actually being drawn towards the centre of mass of the Earth, and that rate is the average around the world, varying [i]very, very[/i] slightly by geological effects.) Or in your world, does it just float in the air?

What the heck is keeping you standing on the floor instead of floating around the room, if not gravity?. What gives you your weight, if not gravity (Weight is gravitational acceleration X mass). Were you never taught these at school, in a further-education science course as an adult, or a popular-science programme on a genuine TV channel?

What do [i]you[/i] hypothesise in its place, to explain weight, falling, bouyancy, convection and pressure in fluids including the oceans and atmosphere, orbits, pendulums, the design of machines like cranes, etc?

I know there are quite a lot of people about who for reason of their own fear anything scientific, logical or objective; do not understand scientific method (not methods; method); and are frightened to learn.

You can't though just dismiss the basic science behind basic, everyday experience; for no credible reason nor alternative, testable hypothesis.

While using the Internet to do so risks you being called a hypocrite, or at best just being laughed at.

BTW [i]metre[/i] not meter, is the proper spelling of this French word; similarly [i]litre[/i] not litre. The French invented the metric system though it is the S.I. form that is now internationally almost universal, especially in science and engineering. A metre is a measure, a meter measures!

@ArishMell Dude, you are lost in this sick and twisted [u]BELIEF[/u] of gravity. There is no such thing as "GRAVITY". I am well aware that you NEED gravity to make your speck in an ever-expanding universe work. Please let go of your beliefs when communicating with me. Thank you much.

@TBIman The “proof” of gravity is the demonstration that the phenomenon happens. A casual demonstration would be to hold an ordinary object out in the air at arms length and let go. Watch it fall. The object and the Earth just accelerated towards each other when there was no other significant force acting.

@Ryderbike So in other words... There is no proof of gravity?

@TBIman that is the proof.

@Ryderbike So let me attempt to understand what you are saying here. You are saying that because there is no proof of gravity... That means that there [u]IS[/u] gravity. Please explain. I gotta hear this.

@TBIman in fact the proof is so reliably accurate people millions of people yearly get on airplanes engineered by scientists who understand exactly the proof of gravity,

@Ryderbike Top scientists have been unable to prove the existence of gravity for hundreds of years. If they can't prove it, it's highly doubtful that you can.

@TBIman already proven. Would you like more proof? Jump off the roof of a 100 story building.
