Why does gravity want to "attract"?

>inb4 gravitons or muh higgs boson

Not an argument. I want to know why gravity does what it does and why it does it

>> No.9244736

>>9244724
Because mass bends space time.

Matter that enters the influence of that bend will fall toward the object at the center, unless it can overcome that with another force (motion).

Gravity doesn't attract. It's bended spacetime

Hey 4 chan could you guys real quick solve this incredibly difficult problem that no one knows where or how to start on? Maybe after you can create true ai, lick qm, and determine the life cycle of the universe in detail.

You bumped a shit thread after 13 hours for this shit.

Remove yourself.

Why does mass bend spacetime? Can anythng else make it bend?

Energy.

>> No.9246371

>>9246309
Energy, mass is just a form of energy. Whether something has mass or not depends on your reference frame.

Mass for which no allowed reference frame in which it's massless exists is called rest mass

Why: it just does

>> No.9246382

>>9246309
because God in his infinite wisdom made it that way

It's all emergent. There's no velocity or motion or acceleration except the crumpling and inflation of the manifold of proper space.

>> No.9246869

Think of it like a bedsheet that's being held tense and you drop a ball on it. It curves the sheet around it. Gravity is basically that but 1 dimension up.

maybe becuase thats the best name we could come with to represent the attraction between two bodies

>Because mass bends space time.

only if you pretend 70% of the universe is some magical stuff that doesn't interact with anything besides balancing equations.

>> No.9247125

>>9244736
Spacetime actually exists and is not just theoretical?

>> No.9247296

>>9247125
Spacetime is the name we use to describe the fabric of our universe. So yes, in that sense it actually exists.
>>9246890
Oh, so would the accomplished phd care to elaborate his theory that describes our observations satisfactorily?

>> No.9247307

>>9244724
>>9244724
Because gravity is controlled by Bogdanoffs, if they say it should attract then is better attract.
