Hey, this is my first time on here, but i've been reading this forum, and i have to disagree with a couple things.
I'm a little intimidated, but if I want answers, there seem to be some extremely intelligent people here to help me understand.
Please bear with me, im kindof all over the place, but i've had these ideas in my head forever, and just started researching, and i came across this forum.
I sincerely disagree that Gravity is a weak force. I believe it is the most powerful force in the universe.
(can actually be accredited to the creation of the universe in some circles AKA the Big Bang.), i also saw a post about gravity being linked to everything that was rebuffed. (i'll address that question in a sec.)
I also think it would be a very desctructive weapon, moreso than any nuclear, anti-matter, etc. weapon. If we could harness it, we could even make any of those weapons obsolete...just toss them in a black hole.
Is it true that when they were creating the atomic bomb, they were actually afraid of creating a Singularity on earth? I read it somewhere and always wondered about that.
Also, i think gravity would be a great way to travel in space. Since gravity is faster and stronger than the speed of light (think black hole here...) Screw Warp Drive...i'll take a Gravity Drive! if only i had any idea how to harness that!
I feel, just because we do not completely understand gravity, and have not learned how to harness it correctly, doesn't make it weak, it just means we don't get it yet. I believe it was einstein that described the relationship of gravity to every object as a "mesh" that we all exist in. For example when i am standing in a room with another person, our respective masses do have gravity towards each other, its just not perceptible to us as humans. Like, laying a ball in the middle of a stretchy cloth, if you lay another, lighter ball on the same cloth it will roll toward the large one.
Addressing the post about gravity being linked to everything, i believe that to be true (as i tried to explain above...not sure if i did the best job...).
There is no such thing as absence of gravity.
Certainly not in space (obviously), and not on earth. Down to the very molecules that make us.
We have electrons orbiting nuclei in the cells in our body.
Although you can simulate the absence of gravity (like weightlessness...we can never be without it.) Also, weightlessness is usually associated with the less tangible/humanly visible amount of gravity in open space, like in a space station, right?
I know im speaking in very large, general terms, but I find i usually understand things better when i break it back down to the basics.
i would LOVE any feedback!! Thanks! - Kristen
