Gravity.

Where do we stand on this again?
Gravitons? Gravity waves? JUST CURVATURE?

I like the straight curvature explanation, but the why/how still seems vague with that one?
Can a mega brainer here explain gravity for brainlets, and where the scientific consensus sits on it?

How gravity works?
Why gravity exists?
Can we manipulate gravity yet?
How could we, if not?
Is this ONLY mass dependent?

Is anti-gravity really a fantasy or a reality?

>> No.12093556

I believe that gravity is an affect of the fourth dimension interacting with certain aspects of our third dimension, such as mass and matter. It is basically a incredibly complex machine working behind a curtain, and affecting that curtain, based on what happens on that curtain. Essentially, the curtain in this case is the three dimensional space we live on.

As for why it exists: It exists because our third-dimensional reality is not all there is in "reality". We live in tandem with the first, second, fourth, and possibly more dimensions.

Technically, yes we can manipulate gravity. We do it every day with our bodies and anything that has mass (i.e. any matter in the universe). I assume what you mean is control it. As for that, no we cannot technically do that yet, however, I do personally believe that in the far future we will be able to do this, because it is physically possible, just not currently technologically possible. We could do this by essentially improving our collider technology and ways to control what we create with colliders.

I am a bit confused on what you mean by
>Is this ONLY mass dependent

I believe antigravity is a reality. I believe we witness it through the expansion of gravity, and the base model of quantum physics seems like it could interact with an anti-gravity inducing particle, however, we are not technologically advanced enough yet to fully understand this.

>>12093591
I'm a little confused by what you are asking but I'll give it a shot.

I assume you're saying that gravitational fields would either be weakening or expanding because of the expansion of space/time. However, I don't believe that to be the case, since space/time are relative, meaning that if fields were expanding, you would also be expanding, meaning you probably wouldn't notice much. A bit of an easy way to explain this is like this: If everything in the universe got 2 times bigger (including you), you wouldn't notice, because relative to you, nothing changed. This is a common misconception because of the model we use to describe space/time. We see it as a stretched piece of cloth in the presence of gravity, which leads to us assuming that the objects that stretch it (matter) don't stretch along with it. This isn't the case, due to us inhabiting a 3 dimensional space. This means that, when we affect space/time, we are also affected by what we do through the proxy of the three dimensional "fabric" of space/time.

Sorry, i understand that I probably sound like I'm rambling. TL;DR Although the gravitational fields may or may not be expanding (they probably are, but we don't quite know due to the nature of the fourth dimension), they would be expanding relative to each other and everything else, so it would likely not be noticeable.

Because humans are smart enough to observe a rock and verify that it exists. However, they are dumb enough to call the action of the rock "something" in and of itself

Different anon here, I think what you're trying to convey is that we explain an observable phenomenon by using itself as evidence
(>which is just a description of mass accelerating to another mass, a re-description of "mass attracts mass")
I think that's why we need to look to an outside system that we know interacts with the system we are trying to explain. i.e. Time. Since time and space are heavily inter-twined, and time or something to do with it is likely the 4th dimension, I don't think it's too unreasonable to say that a third dimensional object (matter) affects the fourth dimension, and that, in turn, affects other objects around it. Obviously that's a very basic explanation, but I think a mindset like that would get us on the right track.

Which is yet another description...of something else/hat something else does. If it's a by product of "spacetime"/property of it then ultimately gravity doesn't exist. It's "warped spacetime".

If you have two separate bodies of mass free floating in a vacuum...

And let's say in this vacuum "gravity" does not exist.

Would the two bodies of mass clump together because of half living releasing energy evenly in all directions from each body?

Would some interaction cause a pressure to drag them together?

The particles released from each would interact eventually.

So if those particles potentially bond together, could the bonding of smaller particles create a pull/pressure chain of the other smaller particles that would lead back to the larger mass bodies, pulling them together?

Maybe they'd repel, meh, theoretical setup and all, who knows...

Freeman Dyson had a good point.

We're chasing this golden goose, when it could be completely different machinery under the hood.

Not Gravitons.

He said Gravity might be a statistical property like Temperature. Like K, it doesn't really mean anything other than a measure of the average KE of particles.

But we can still measure heat and its effects.

Maybe "Gravity" is the same way. We can measure it, and its effects, but it maybe a measure of something incredibly new or we don't understand yet.

Matter cannot be destroyed or created yes and the big bang essentially contained all the matter in the universe.

what if there was a set about of gravity. maximum universal gravity. Gravity too cannot be created or destroyed but only transferred or negated.

>fill pipe entirely with water

The absence of the water is what allows it to fall/move in the first place, there needs a disparity otherwise its "no motion whatsoever". It is impelled to go "where it is not" because it literally has nowhere else to go.

We don’t know what Gravity is, we don’t know how to actually define the true ontological nature of Gravity in a Quantum theory; hence why we describe it the same way we describe Thermodynamics—in a statistical theory.

We know how Gravity can affect a body with a significant amount of mass with Einstein’s field equations; but we don’t know what the true metaphysical nature of Gravity is, neither do we have an accurate description on how Gravity works on small scales.

This entire post is just showing your ignorance. My point was that the current theory of Gravitation is based on statistics, and hence why if we truly want to get a more basic consensus on Gravity we have to look into Complexity and Information; the two basic facets of ultimate reality according to modern Physics.

Even if we get a totally correct theory of Quantum Gravity, it would still be statistical. The wavefunction is based on probability and a statistical formulation as indicated by the Schrödinger equation. If we truly want to Quantize Gravity we’re going to have to make that fit. We’re going to have to make the classical field theory that is GR fit into a Quantum field theory, which is just another formulation of mathematical statistics.

Actually what I said was that mass attracting mass proves gravity exists. You interpreted this as any mass attracting any mass in any way proves gravity exists, while ignoring that gravity is an attraction between all mass in a specific way. I'm not sure what exactly you think this illustrates other than your inability to argue honestly.

>Then you're not explaining gravity.
Of course not, because gravity doesn't actually exist. I'm explaining why it doesn't exist.

>This sounds like a description of what something does
How do you expect me to explain what an absence does? It's absent, to say anything of it would be incorrect. Naming it is even incorrect

>Why aren't you throwing a semantic tantrum?
I'm not arguing over the meaning of words. The meaning of words doesn't make a difference when explaining how shit works or verifying the existence of something
>Unicorns
and the semantics involving them can be argued for eternity. In the end it doesn't mean anything because what you're talking about doesn't actually exist.
>Why does matter need to be "equalized" in vacuum?
It loses itself to the absence of itself. It is "condensed" and the environment enables it to "evaporate". The vacuum is not a true vacuum, it contains matter as well, just less of it.

>Everything we talk about is going to be a description.
Which is what engaging in a dialectic is for.

>There was always an absence of water above the water. Why didn't it flow up?
It does. It's called "evaporation". Maybe if Newton waited a couple weeks he would have observed the apple do that too.

>the downward force of gravity vs. the upward force of whatever is in the way of the water.
Assuming gravity is a "force", what is the "downward force" of gravity at the "center of gravity"?

>You will never ever explain anything by dogmatically denying what has already been observed over and over again
Using the same logic you could chase and define a shadow for eternity. You observed it over and over so it must be real?

>It's easy to treat it as such.
Yes it's easy to just assume, because it's hard to know what you're talking about.

>two masses accelerate
>towards a null point

So the "null point" must be the cause of gravity right? The cause of gravity is no gravity!

>Shockingly, you guess wrong
Shockingly, you can't differentiate the two other than with semantics.

>The only one here who has brought zero empirical evidence or logic to support their claims is you.
I've pointed out there is none for gravity. Also I'm pretty sure everyone here is smart enough to know how a fucking straw works.

>Actually what I said was that mass attracting mass proves gravity exists
>light shining on object proves shadows exist
And I took two magnets, stuck them both together. According to your own logic that must be caused by "gravity" because both magnets are made of mass.

>Of course they can, you're observing them right now. You can even measure them.
>You can observe an absence

What If I told you I could see elves? Might take some drugs to do, but if I eventually "see" it it must be there right?
How does one measure time? It IS a measure is it not?

>How does a description of what causes gravity show that gravity doesn't exist?
If you're describing the actions of something, you're ultimately speaking of *what the real thing* is *doing*. What it's *doing* is what you would describe as "gravity". If you swim does that make "swimming" something? No, it's what something else does.

>More pointless semantics
Pointless because it's useless to discuss the meaning of shit that doesn't exist, yes. "Gravity" is just that, pointless semantics. Like equating mass to having an original sin that has no explination.

Why do you think it doesn't exist? What is wrong with the Cavendish experiment?

>How do you expect me to explain what an absence does?
I expect you to explain whatever you just claimed. If what you claimed is nonsensical then don't claim it. If you're not going to explain your own claims then stop posting them.

>It's absent, to say anything of it would be incorrect.
Then why are you saying something about it? The only thing worse than making up all these rules based on semantics is not following them yourself.

>I'm not arguing over the meaning of words.
Then please explain how calling anything a description is a substantive argument.

>It loses itself to the absence of itself. It is "condensed" and the environment enables it to "evaporate".
Meaningless drivel. There are absences all around matter that don't produce gravitational attraction. Diffusion already exists separately.

>Which is what engaging in a dialectic is for.
Then why are you complaining about descriptions?

>It does. It's called "evaporation".
So evaporation is strongest in the direction of other mass? No, evaporation doesn't have a direction. And doesn't explain why water goes down a drain. Try again.

>Assuming gravity is a "force", what is the "downward force" of gravity at the "center of gravity"?
You mean the resultant torque? 0. What is your point?

>Using the same logic you could chase and define a shadow for eternity. You observed it over and over so it must be real?
How do you know a shadow isn't real? Is it because you chased and defined a shadow for eternity or is it because you already understand what a shadow is? But that instantiated is just a model based on optical physics. Why isn't that "chasing shadows?" Oh it's because you haven't found it convenient to deny optics, although I'm sure you could.

You're trying very hard to argue that it doesn't exist and failing just as hard.

Why?

>Shockingly, you can't differentiate the two other than with semantics.
I don't see how the difference between mass and charge is semantics. I don't see how the difference between repulsion and attraction is semantics. I don't see how the difference between the inverse-square law and the inverse-cube law is semantics. You are truly delusional.

>According to your own logic that must be caused by "gravity" because both magnets are made of mass.
Which logic was that exactly? Oh the one you made up. This is called a strawman.

>What If I told you I could see elves?
I wouldn't be surprised, considering the other ridiculous things you've said.

>Might take some drugs to do, but if I eventually "see" it it must be there right?
No, if you can scientifically observe them in a controlled experiment (one obvious control would be that the participant can't be taking hallucinogenic drugs) then they must be there. And that's exactly what we've done over and over with gravity. You already know this, so you're trying to avoid responding to scientific evidence. You're not fooling anyone.

>How does one measure time?

>It IS a measure is it not?
A measure of time is a measure. I'm not sure what you mean by time being a measure.

"YES"
>argument against gravity
I cannot argue for something never proven to exist which is why I am accurately calling it nothing other than a description.
>while denying you're arguing about gravity.
I'm not arguing about gravity, I'm arguing with you and your misconceptions. Specifically about what YOU think gravity is, not gravity itself.
>What have I said that's wrong and what evidence have you brought to show it?
"mass attracts mass which is gravity". Which doesn't explain anything. It also doesn't differentiate it from magnetism. You also equated time as being measurable when it itself is a measurement.
>You're trying very hard to argue that it doesn't exist
How about I meet you half way. "It exists as a description" even though I already tried to explain that using the elves analogy.
>Why?
Because mass is affected by pressure. Things get sucked towards an absence, not "mass to mass" with no rhyme or reason or because they're simply described as doing so.
>I don't see how the difference between mass and charge is semantics.
>I don't see how the difference between repulsion and attraction is semantics
And I still don't see you differentiating magnetism from gravity.

>I don't see how the difference between the inverse-square law and the inverse-cube law is semantics
Of course not. Those are more descriptions. They explain nothing.

>Which logic was that exactly?
"mass attracts mass"-your description of gravity. Magnets are made of mass. So what the fuck?

>This is called a strawman.
Go read your own posts you dumbshit. Sorry you're forgetting so much but that's what happens when you talk semantics about something that doesn't exist.

"We observed the masses moving, now lets make up this description of them moving and equate that description to a "Force". Lets call it "Zeus"...oh wait no that was take, lets try "gravity" instead. Yes we only defined it with stuff that this force isn't (the matter), but it must be moving for a reason so lets just describe the reason as "gravity" and call it a day.
