Gravity?
A guy was discussing his theory of "gravity" with me today.
He believes that it is not a force, but an effect. He believes that what we interpret as gravity is really the effect of sub-atomic particles on larger bodies. They exert force on larger bodies. Those which bombard us without first passing through a larger object like a planet, have a greater effect on us than those which do first pass through a larger object. The effect is that they push us onto the larger object. He believes that is why some gravitational theories don't work for sub-atomic particles. Is it a possibility? |

The General Relativity Theory have more proven points, read a bit on it. |

Gravity?
Your friend is partially correct as Albert Einstein so described it in his
Theory of General Relativity. He stated that gravity was, in cause and in effect, a warpage of the fabric of space and time caused by the interposition of mass over the continuium. Does this relate to the subatomic effects as your friend suggested? No one can be sure - but it is an interesting supposition. =================== Hard SciFi is Back!
