I think gravity is not caused by relativity, and that thing you made up about grids, why do they curve? O_o
What if gravity just turns out to be a leakage of arractions from electrons to protons, of different atoms?

Instead of being pulled by gravity..Universe is infinitely expanding so that objects move outward which mean that Galaxies continually are farther apart from each other.
What causes gravity is the great attraction large masses produce to form clusters such as a galaxy. As a supernova occurs the objects pulled from the center mass are scattered throughout space otherwise sucked into a black hole created by the blast. Blackholes are a big mystery because while the universe expands. Blackholes pull matter into its center. hmm...now i just lost my train of thought but hey...thats what i think. My Take on things.

Gravity can be explained by Einstein's laws of relativity, though it might take a while to fully understand. If gravity is strong enough for a planet to rip the fabric of space-time, a black hole will result. If humanity can control the center of the black hole, we have reached a level that transcends God. That's why Star Trek's technology is something we will not achieve for at least a thousand years, imo. Astronomy is one hell of a subject.

Do keep in mind that black holes do not neccesarily exist. They violate a few laws of physics and no one can figure out how to modify our laws so that black holes are 'correct'.

This may be a quibble, but it's the Romulan Warbird which utilizes a black hole for a power source, not the Federation (which includes humans). The federation uses matter/antimatter annihilation 8)

Stephen Hawking even claimed that black holes may very well be the location of heaven and hell. I can't find the link to an article now but if you read it....incredible stuff. And Hawking is a genius, up with Einstein. Quote:

Doesnt' really matter o_O They're a mathimatical solution to einsteins equations, they can be observed, and are a consequence of a dying star that is too large. It's a long shot to say they don't exist XD Wether some of them are something else though, well, super.
and uh, a black hole being heaven or hell? what the **** XD By definition you'd be crushed by gravity long before getting into it anyway, so I dunno, you might be able to classify it as hell, but not heaven XD Though, more recently black holes have been considered something 'nice' and necessary for the development of our universe rather than just a big hole that eats everything.

I just think that our brains don't have the capacity to understand it.
I'm being serious, too. We have trouble grasping the idea of infinity... our brain wants to tell us that it has to stop SOMEWHERE, the universe must stop SOMEWHERE, it's just beyond the limits of human comprehension

wtf
EVERYTHING is a theory, since our minds have no direct contact with reality - they can only interpret what information we collect through our senses or indirectly through instruments. Also, saying that "the human mind can't comprehend infinity" is total bull****. The human mind can't comprehend 300 million, yet we deal with it just fine. Can you really picture 300 million things in your head? Can you picture 10,000 things in your head? Maybe, if you arrange them in a square of 100x100 and imagine each side being 10 segments of 10 items each, but a couple of orders of magnitude above that it becomes impossible. Saying "but we can never comprehend infinity" is just a stupid copout - that's why we have MATH, ever thought of that? To deal with things that we can't hold in our primate brains as is. And businessman07, learn how to spell goodbye and stop typing in caps ("realizing" that your caps lock is on and not fixing it is a sure sign of, um, I don't even know what) |

All masses have an orbital field which draws smaller objects closer to the larger one. The size of the orbital field is defined by the mass, size, and shape of the object pending. Really, Newtons laws do explain a fragment of the way gravity works, but outside of it is orbital function and planetary drifting, in other words, how each star/planet/ sun moves. For example, the water level here on earth is effected by the position of the sun. The gravity of the moon effects the water at all times. Just a thought though.
Anyone feel like correcting me on any of this? |

sertman, I'm sorry, but it is perfectly possible to comprehend infinity - don't speak for the entire human race. Think about it this way - if you can imagine a huge stack of bills going to the moon and not be thinking about every single bill in that stack, and call that "comprehending" the number, then I can "comprehend" infinity by thinking of a line that's 1cm long. There's an infinite number of points in that line. :/ It's something you learn to internalize after you think about it enough. Oh, and the word's "comprehensible", btw.

yeah antimatter is matter with opposite charge. When u add antimatter and matter together though they cancel each other out creating a huge amount of gamma. Dark matter is supposed to be the number 1 type of matter in the universe but dark energy surpasses that. The universe is expanding thats almost a fact but the question is, Is it accelerating? Dark energy is (if u believe the universe is accelerating) what causes the acceleration of the universe and makes up most of the universe itself. Also about gravity, thats a hard subject to get into but i dont believe in the graviton crap. I believe more in an einstiens and kamu's way of looking at it, as relating to other higher deminsions. It is explained more with unified theory and string theory but dont wanna explain it cause too long.

Our minds have no direct contact with reality? What on earth are you going on about now. Prove this? What is reality? You could define it infinitely, therefor this statement is meaningless. And I think infinity is a pretty impossible to comprehend, since you can't exactly put measure to something that countinues without bounds, you can understand it's meaning but it's not exactly something tangable. Also, to say our math can properly measure infinity is a little iffy in some cases. Mathematics break down at planck length, are equations make no sense when explaining something infinitely small (alteast equations that don't involve radical untested theories :P)
