Ok, /sci/. I’ve figured out gravity. What it’s caused by.

It’s so simple. So. We all know space is bent by gravity. So, the effects of gravity are identical to the effects of being accelerated in a direction. We know that. My theory is: that gravity is simply space flowing towards the directions of center of mass. If you were to start out stationary with regard to the earth and start falling, if you think of space a flowing ointment, when you start to fall, you’re just like a fly trapped in the ointment of space which is flowing towards the center of the earth. And when we sit on the earth and feel gravity, that is the atoms of the earth accelerating you in the opposite direction of the flow of space. Which we feel as weight or acceleration.

So gravity is simply the flow of space towards massive objects.

The fuck is space? The fuck is massive? The fuck?

[Anonymous No.15140224]

So when you stand up on the earth, space is falling around you at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s. The atoms under your feet are pushing you against that flow at 9.8 m/s. So it the same as being on an elevator in space going up at 9.8 m/s/s.

You’re welcome, /biz/. I’d appreciate it if you could send the Nobel Prize in the mail.

The flow of space or perhaps the flow of aether?

[Anonymous No.15140251]

>>15140242
We know space actually flows in a circle around a black hole so what’s your hang up?

[Anonymous No.15140254]

>>15140242
Ahhh yes. The Aether.

[Anonymous No.15140275]

>>15140214
But then space becomes a physical ether with an absolute speed, which is totally inconsistent with all the tests of GR.

[Anonymous No.15140280]

>>15140275
Ok well otherwise, we say gravity is just the bending of space which requires some other gravity in an extra dimension. So then how do you explain That gravity?

[Anonymous No.15140290]

>>15140275
How exactly is it inconsistent

[Anonymous No.15140292]

>>15140275
When an object approaches a mass, its velocity increases consistently with the idea of something floating’s velocity increasing as it approaches a well flowing down a hole. So tell me, how is it inconsistent.

[Anonymous No.15140295]

>>15140280
Well, the easy answer is that we don't exactly understand the nature of spacetime beyond the 3 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension. We just know that the structure defined by GR makes a large number of insanely accurate predictions. Therefore, the warping of the space and time and the motion of bodies along geodesics in that warped spacetime seem difficult to dispute.

GR doesn’t explain the cause of gravity. It simply predicts the action of gravity

Light can only move in a straight line because it’s a propagation of an electromagnetic wave. If it does not move in a straight line, it means it’s movie through a medium.

The "medium" being the gravitational field which changes it's path, the same way gravity affects everything else.

In other words, light is a lightspeed wire.

It can only go in direction. If the direction is changed, the graph is changed.

Bullshit, space expands faster than the speed of light. Now tell me why gravity is so weak.

[Anonymous No.15140494]

>>15140492
It expands on an intergalactic scale. On a local scale, it sinks into gravity pits.

[Anonymous No.15140498]

Basically. In the absence of matter, space reproduces. But matter eats space.

[Anonymous No.15140499]

That’s probably where the fuel comes from for why an atom doesn’t just blow itself apart.

Why are electrons locked into an orbit around protons which should be repelling them? The answer is simple. There is a reaction going on. Space is consumed, and the resultant energy keeps the electron orbiting the nucleus.

[Anonymous No.15140511]

Basically the strong nuclear force and gravity are one and the same. Although gravity is a very distant side effect of the strong nuclear force.

[Anonymous No.15140513]

>>15140503
I misspoke. I meant what keeps protons together.

[Anonymous No.15140517]

Really ask yourself though. What keeps protons together? Whithoit just repeating “the strong nuclear force” like some kind of NPC.

[Anonymous No.15140521]

I’ll posit hehe you a theory. When two protons get close enough to each other, they create a microgravity well. That gravity well starts swallowing pieces of space and that force is strong enough to keep the protons together. And that is what creates the overall curvature of space.

[Anonymous No.15140525]

But anon, that would create way too strong a gravitational force. The gravitational force is so weak! Compared to the strong force. Not if the Plank length is that small compared to protons.

[Anonymous No.15140531]

And just to clue in the first year university students, the Planck length is the length of one cell of space

[Anonymous No.15140532]

>flow of space
Which is meaningless babble that doesn't really correspond to anything except the normal understanding of gravity plus some vague mental image and a false analogy.

>>15140546
I’m pretty sure Einstein’s predictions weren’t tested or confirmed until decades later. The Planck length even existing is a theoretical construct. And I’m not a “gay homo” But your mom wished I was the other night.

[Anonymous No.15140596]

>>15140577
Alright fine. There has to be a way of testing the idea of space moving. Without sensors that can go into the level of Planck length. I can’t think of one. How would you even test that anyway. Unless you could somehow place a marker on one cell of space. Which is obviously impossible

[Anonymous No.15140598]

To answer my own question, yes it was. But he was a famous philosopher and so people remembered his question and his writing and one day generations later, his idea was proven right. Now I’m not a famous philosopher. But I’m just saying. If you’re trying to shut down imagination on a science board. Well matey. You might have ulterior motives.
