what causes gravity between objects ?

Answer 1

The gravitional force.

Seriously, the answer to that question could win you a Nobel Prize.

Einstein suggested that mass might bend space, creating impressions in space that other mass would flow down into. That's an interesting metaphor but I think it falls short of an explanation.

Answer 2

The mass of each object has an attractive force, called gravity. Gravity is one of the forces that scientists have studied for decades, centuries even, and still know next to nothing about - and not for a lack of trying.

I've always viewed gravity as Gods way of showing the scientists that they aren't as smart as they think they are.

Answer 3

If I throw a heavy ball at you, you can catch it but the impact will knock you backwards. If I throw hundreds of millions of balls at you, and you throw hundreds of millions at me, the impacts will tend to push us apart. In effect, there will appear to be a repulsive force between us.

But that is just for balls that have positive mass. If we throw balls that have negative mass at each other, then there will appear to be an attractive force between us.

Something like that may be the explanation of gravity. Every massive object is continually ejecting things. By catching these things, the other object ends up being pulled towards the first.

Answer 4

I've locked all my reference books away for a while (so I can't give you names etc)but I do know that The Universal Gravitational Constant (G)was measured usind a lead sphere and a (gold?)sphere using a torsion balance in a lab more than 50 years ago and fairly accurately;From memory neither sphere had a mass greater than100kg.

Answer 5

Matter is always in a transit in atomic core. This transit results in exchange of energy with objects within a range. The force exerted on the objects when thios energy is drawn is possibly gravity. Every object has its own gravitational field. The strength and range of this gravitational field depends upon the composition of the matter.... Well that is what my concept is. I don't know how far it is ok...

Answer 6

Matter warps space. Picture it as though a heavy bowling ball was in the middle of a suspended blanket or sheet. Vision how it sinks in the middle. Any smaller objects in the blanket or sheet would naturally move towards the bowling ball, falling towards the lower point. That's a representation of how matter warps space and why an object with less mass moves toward the one with more mass.

Answer 7

Gravity is an inherent property of matter. Matter is a specifically
'tuned' form of the energy-mass continuum.
The tuning process is Black Holes (BH) - after processing
in this way - all matter has an affinity for all other so-tuned matter

Answer 8

It's because of gravitational force....
All objects in the universe attracts each other.This force of attraction between objects is called gravitational force.
UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION states that every object in the universe attract each other with a force,which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversly proportional to the square of distance between them.

Answer 9

Hmmm - can we really find a "cause"? What's the "cause" of space and/or time? Are you content to say that they just "are"? If so, you should probably say that gravity just "is", it isn't "caused"!

If not, then I've just broadened your question considerably!

Answer 10

The fundamental reason for it isn't understood. Some people attribute it to warping of space-time; some talk about particle exchange etc. but we have no theory which unites it with the other three fundamental forces
