Do you think the theory of gravity is right, or believe in intelligent falling?

Question

gravity is just another unproven theory.

Answer 1

Actually gravity is provenUnless someone can disprove it. If you have ay serious doubts. Go jump yourself off of somewhere. What is odd that those who question whether gravity is proven live as though it is. We live what we truly believe. Evolution however should naturally be questioned. Those who don't want to have a pet theory challenged give evidence to their own fear of having there theory disproved. And even those scientists witin the elutioary camp disagree and question it which is why I wonder why some suggest it shouldn't be questioned? Does that apply to those only who don't believe in it or should it not be questioned by those who do believe in it as well? I am presuming that you are aware that there is more than one evolutionary theory. Or was I not supposed to say that.

Answer 2

Gravity.

Answer 3

Intelligent falling! Gravity is crazy. All that talk of anti-matter and pushes and pulls hurts my head. Clearly, since you can't see gravity it's not real. Like the wind. It's just God blowing on us. Sometimes God blows real hard and little babies and puppy dogs end up in trees and smashed through walls.


ps, All theories are unproven. That's why they are called theories. :)

Answer 4

It has to be intelligent falling. Gravity is just science, border line with heresy. Let's burn everything that mentions gravity , just to be sure....

Answer 5

Gravity

Answer 6

Newton recanted on his deathbed. That proves gravity is false. Plus it's just a theory. We are weighed down by sins, that's why angels can fly.

Answer 7

Gravity by both Newtonian and Einsteinian mechanics is inherently unproveable. But evolution is provable, and I have done so; details on request.

Answer 8

Hm. I'll go with the theory of gravity.

Phew. That was a toughy.

But seriously, I love the point that you bring up.

Answer 9

I believe in intelligent falling it's called sky diving.

Answer 10

Gravity, like evolution, is not proven. Just because people have always fallen in the past doesn't mean they will always fall in the future, necessarily; it may be extremely likely that this is the case (just as it is extremely likely that since organisms have always evolved when we've observed them, they've evolved before we could observe them too, rather than the laws of nature suddenly changing whenever we take our eyes off 'em), but it's not a certainty, and thus it isn't "proven". Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant of philosophy of science, empiricism, and the problem of induction.

It is possible to observe evolution, in the form of populations of organisms changing their genetic structure over successive generations (including dog breeds arising, bacteria developing antibiotic resistances, and even human families changing from generation to generation). Likewise, it is possible to observe gravity, in the form of objects falling towards the Earth. Yet neither the theory of evolution nor the theory of gravity has been "proven"; and, indeed, any physicist can tell you that there is much more uncertain, debatable, questionable, and likely to be overthrown in the future about gravitational theory than about evolutionary theory. Gravity, compared to evolution, is a truly profound mystery, one of the biggest problems in modern physics, and in science in general. Evolution, in contrast, is settled science, with only minor details still being disputed.
