Does the universal Law of Gravity, make our Universe 3 Dimensional?

Question

My personal thoery feel free to blow holes through it! The law of attraction states that all matter in the universe attracts to other matter in some way. Thinking on a sub-atomic level there`s a proton-Neutron=Nucleus and electron.The Neutron`s act as a glue for the Protons because the Protons are postively charged and repel eachother.The Negatively charged electron orbits the Nucleus trying to attach to the Postively charged Proton but is kept at bay by the Neutron. The orbit creates a 3 dimesnonal realm. Can this apply to the universal as a whole? Take a person for example. My matter obviously attracts to itself more than it does to another person`s matter. However without the Earths Gravity my Matter would attract to another`s matter. Gravity is the medium attraction. 3 dimesional universal comes from 3 attractions. Bodies of matter - Bodies of matter to other Bodies of matter-
Medium Attraction of the celestial body i.e. Earth!

Answer 1

Sorry but the universe has more than 3 dimensions. There are the 3 spacial dimensions but the space-time continuum as we can see it has that 4th dimension of time. Potentially, there may be more dimensions that are so tightly curved that they neither have any effect on us or can be identified. It is believed the branes exist in 10 or 11 or possibly 99 dimensions.

Gravity as defined by the general theory of relativity (which is more accurate than the law of gravity) shows that it is the warping of the continuum by massive bodies that gives rise to gravity as we see it. The actual paths of bodies and forces is a geodesic in 4 dimensions as the particle or force tries to move by the shortest path which is the geodesic as it does not move through a perfectly flat medium, like the great circle route taken by aircraft flying around a curved planet. The motion is then distorted by mapping a 4 dimensional situation into the 3 dimensions our minds use for spacial relationships.

So, it is the fact that the universe exists in more than 3 dimensions gives rise to the effects of gravity and not vice versa.

Answer 2

Our universe is already known to have 4 dimensions: 3 spacial (Left-right, up-down, forward-back) and 1 time dimension. The dimensions of space are fundamental and don't come from 3 attractions or from the attraction of gravity. And neutrons aren't the only things holding protons together. There is a particle called a gluon which holds atoms together as well. Neutrons just get the protons close enough together so gluons can do their work. And the attraction of gravity is just matter causing warpage in spacetime.

And gravity isn't defined by a law of gravity, it is defined by general relativity. And not all matter/energy attracts eachother. There is something called dark energy that acts as an antigravity, causing things to move away from eachother. The universe is filled with about 75% of this stuff.

I doubt that there are more dimensions, because they would have to be curled up very small so we couldn't see them. And the equations defining these dimensions are very delicate. Tickle the equations and the dimensions collapse into singularities (which we don't see) or expand to a visible size (which we also don't see).

Answer 4

I am not sure that Newton stated gravity as an attraction.
Newton's statement indicated gravity as a weight. That is exactly what the word gravity means.
So when you have a weight on your back its really an object the is bearing down on you. Its pushing you down toward the Earth and if heavy enough it will squash you.
So there must be a medium in space that contain power to push or hold objects together.
Newton Universal Gravity constant="G "is really Universal ,even Einstein used it in his Field equation of General Relativity.
If you can Understand the G constant a good grasp of Newton gravity theory can be realized.
The G constant is proportional to To the product of an inverse density of a mass being held together into a volume and the radial time squared that it takes to hold it together.

A volume is a geometry which is described as having three dimensions that we can measure with a ruler.

Time does not have a geometry that we can measure with a ruler.
we can only measure it by observing motion. the Universe is a dynamic system that exists and functions as it does because of gravity.

G= 1 / (mass per Unit volume) x seconds ^2
The G constant is not described in terms of dimensions. it is describe in terms of quantities which are distance,mass,time and direction.

Answer 5

No you are not talking about the Law of Gravity but rather the basic principals of magnetism that states, like poles repel, while unlike poles attracted! It does not have anything to do with a 3 or 4 or multi-dimensional Universe! The law of Gravity certainly does, however! The number of dimensions that this universe has was decided by its Creator God many billions of years ago, BEFORE He created it, and gravity is a result and not a cause of it!
Scientist tell us that there are at least 10 or 11dimensions in this universe, in theory, for they haven't been proven as of yet! Albert Einstein proved forever that the known visible universe is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time.
i think you need to study up a bit more on your field of interest before you present any 'theory' to us on this forum, and your spelling! see the below reference on the multi-dimensional universe

Answer 6

YES!
