How does gravity work? (Why is it not a theory)?

Question

I know THAT it works, but how???

I reference this question:

If you say that there is no theory of gravity, no doubt you can tell me how it works.

So according to Locotus, there is only gravity on the side of the earth that faces the sun... I'm not too sure you have the best explaination so far.

Answer 1

Its true even though Newton was one ot he Pioneer an gravity. He did not give a mechanism . And turned away from giving explanation.
One of the proof Newton postulated is his 3rd law of motion,whish says to every action is a reaction. That can
mean to every gravity power there is an equal and opposite energy manifested;.As this occurs equal an opposite forces are produced.

My understanding of Gravity is that we exist in a fluid just like fish exist in the water.What ever that fluid is no one has really come up with the right answer, Never the less its responsible for holding all masses into a structure and its called Gravity.


The conclusion is that gravity is not a pull because in order to pull there has to be a push. And only the 3rd law can attest to that.
There have been a few theory which tried to give a mechanism of gravity . One is Ricardo Carezani'sTheory of Autodynamics.
The other is the Theory of the Aether.

Answer 2

It is a theory. No one knows how it works it can only be described. There are some guesses as to what is at work, well educated mathematical guesses regarding the bending of space, but the mechanism is unknown. It just is. Attempts to find the mechanism of the interaction, such as the hunt for gravitons, have failed.

A scientific theory is an idea so well attested to in the data that it can nearly be considered a fact. It is not in dispute in the scientific community although specific statements may be in dispute at the frontiers of the theory.

Gravity is the tendency of two objects of mass to accelerate toward one another. The force of that relationship is equal to the gravitational constant times the mass of the two objects at interest divided by the square of their distance apart. It is one of the four fundamental interactions and the weakest of the four. The alternative could be that angels push the planets around. There is no evidence against that of course, but parsimony weighs against.

One note, in scientific language a law is the general special case of a theory. So Newton's Laws are not rules, they are the usual case and are good approximations of the reality in most cases. They are technically incorrect but only for high velocities relative to that of light.

Also note, that in technical language gravitation and gravity are different concepts.

Answer 3

There was a theory of Gravity but it was sufficiently proved.Gravity is caused by centrifugal force exerted by an object in motion.Because the earth is spinning and revolving around the sun we and all things are pressed to its surface.If you take a pail fill it with water and lay it on its side the water runs out.If you take the same pail of water attach a rope and spin it around in a circle the water is forced to the bottom of the pail.this is centrifugal force and gravity.Planetary or solar gravitation is also dependent on rotation.

Answer 4

It is a theory. There is no law of gravity.
That is a common mistake and most people who make it (saying that gravity is a "law" ) get the idea from Bugs Bunny cartoons.

And not one Christian will say weak force, strong force, or graviton in their answer. Prophecy.

Answer 6

gravity pulls something down and it never fails to pull something down.........................
