what was the first thought u had when someone told u that gravity is not a force?

It's incredibly obvious

lol, the first person that told me so was my university teacher of physics, so when i realized it i was like
"My life is a lie" and "World is awesome" at the same time

that it was a theory?
I doubted them.put it that way.

no one has told me that, but someone did, I would just tell them F=ma, a is not a force, it's a component of it. a=g; F!=g therefore F!=a

It's a force in terms of extensionality, but in extreme cases it diverges from a force

>> No.10256248

an object's weight is the force moving at the speed of gravity towards the center of the earth, which gives the illusion that gravity itself is the force pulling the object down.

>> No.10256660

Its a force. Gravity is electromagnetic in nature. The secret as to where gravity comes from and how to control/alter it locally can be found if you look hard enough and do research. Anti-gravity is as common in the universe as normal gravity.
This curvature of space-time chicken shit bullshit theory is laughable at best.
