What is Gravity?

Question

I think all of existence and life is a battle of gravity. Gravity is everything and existence continues to be by being attracted to itself, which results in stars, planets and life. The gravitational pull of the earth, moon and sun were all contributing factors to movement/weather in the water to pull together the amino acids that created the first life in the oceans. The chemical processes that the first life forms went through can be compared to the sun's hydrogen burning process. Gravity held them together.

Light is another effect of gravity trying to pull everything else toward it, and it is the reason we exist and have created religions worshipping it.

The same thing can be applied to human consciousness. We want to preserve ourselves and the higher the consciousness level the more attractive it becomes to the lower animals. We gravitate towards survival and I think that we will eventually learn that we are the center of existence, and will live eternally.

Thoughts?

I think people being attracted to the opposite sex is gravity. Gravity is what holds everything in the universe together. So to continue existing, we need to procreate. This attraction to the opposite sex can be considered gravity. Hence the word "attraction".

Billions of humans existing doesn't disprove my point.

We are the epitomical image of existence. We protect it.

By the time humans reach omniscience, we will probably already found a way to prevent the sun from collapsing. I mean, we're already developing warp drives and have broken the speed of light barrier.

Answer 1

Your question is a little bit on the serious side. A little less gravity would make it easier to answer.

Answer 2

On the macro level, If that's true then moving to jupiter would provide more of these things?

Light actually doesn't actually have all that much to do with gravity.... its energy blasting out, not being pulled in. We're not pulling the light from the stars towards us.... its being blasted in our faces.

I think eventually gravity will fail on the sun & take all of the human philosophers, all of the animals, and their consciousness with it in a big firey ball when its mass can no longer produce enough gravity to contain its volume.

There is no battle for this though. Its just going to happen and there's nothing we can do about it.

There will be no transcendence from our physical form, only fire and death. Gravity may bend the light generated from the explosion to a pretty color on its way to other planets though, and I take solace in the pleaure it will bring to those watching from far away.

Answer 3

It is still undetermined exactly what is gravity. Sir Isaac Newton postulated that 'gravity' was a force eminating out from Earth and grabbed onto things; Einstein postulated that the space distorted by a mass equated to gravity. Both are working theories of gravity used by contemporary physicists, though on the quantum level another theory of gravity is being postulated.

Answer 4

You might have that backwards. We are not the center of existence. How could we be if there are billions of us? Gravity might be the curse. Drawing everything to oneself is ego, self centeredness. Maybe the key to eternal life is to find some eternal force beyond the self, some absolute center.

Answer 5

a distortion in the space time continuum caused by a mass....the larger the mass, the larger the distortion in the fabric of space and time. total distortion is the black holes, the opposite end of the spectrum, the mass of your body for example, is attracted to the mass of another person's body.,,,however, don't blame gravity for the attraction you have for the opposite sex

Answer 6

It is the earth sucking at your toes.
