Gravity, what powers it?
Forums › General Discussion › Gravity, what powers it?-
I was told this question awhile ago and I just remembered it.
The person wondered, "Gravity is everywhere but WHERE does it come from? What powers the energy gravity needs to work?"
I am baffled at this myself. Like if you can't get what I mean, here is an example:
Sunlight. Yes for many years we knew it came from the Sun but as we advanced we wondered, "How is sunlight created?" And thus, we soon discovered nuclear fusion and that the pressure and reaction of the atoms because of the heat created the sunlight.

I just want to figure out where the energy gravity uses comes from. Gravity comes from mass but what powers the gravity energy is what that person wondered? Anyone know the answer? -
Well it is one of the fundamental elements of the universe so the fisics of the universe have something to do with it

Gravity comes from mass, I believe that the combined "magnetic" forces of positive and negitive particles creates the pull that holds down our own positive and negitive particles, thus the larger te mass, the more attraction, the more "gravity" it generates.
However, this said theory invokes the thought that that means there would me mass gravity say, on the moon, but mars has more and it's smaller.
This is due to the oxygen/hydrogen/helium levels that coexist differently.
The air also pushes against us, meaning that places with little air, like the moon, have little gravity, because it's a combination of the atmosphere pressing on our heads and the mass attracting our particles that generate what we call "gravity". -

:/ I wasn't saying mars was smaller than te moon, I was saying that mars is smaller, but it has more gravity, unlike the moon, which is smaller with less

Everything has gravity. Jupiter has gravity, you have gravity, and your iDevice has gravity all its own. The greater the mass of an object, the more gravitational force it has. Gravity works from the center of an object–i.e. the earth's core–pulling things toward it.
That's all I can remember at the moment... -
Gravity is the same effect sitting on a trampoline has on a basketball. the trampoline represents the fabric of space and the b-ball is the planets or other objects. The b-ball is drawn to you because your weight on the trampoline like an objects weight on space. Does that make cents?

No, earth has more gravity than mars, assuming you mean "but it has more gravity" which I assume is an indirect comparison of the earth and mars with mars having more gravity.:/ I wasn't saying mars was smaller than te moon, I was saying that mars is smaller, but it has more gravity, unlike the moon, which is smaller with less

The Higgs Boson. (hypothetical particle)

Yes but I'm saying is gravity is an energy yes? Well, if it is energy it has to have a source and a process that creates the energy.

According to this, black holes create some "dents" in the "trampoline" that are far larger than the "dents" any other object creates due to its immense mass in a small area, having a LOT of gravity–so much gravity, in fact, that light cannot escape them.Gravity is the same effect sitting on a trampoline has on a basketball. the trampoline represents the fabric of space and the b-ball is the planets or other objects.

Yes, but gravity behaves like energy. It causes change to it's surroundings through motion. Explain what a force is again? I know the four forms of universal forces but not quite the definition off the top of my head.UnknownAssassin wrote:

I think it's quite obvious that gravity is just the atmosphere pushing down on us. Duh. 😏

This is what I am getting at.
Energy and forces cause change through motion of objects like temperature, and positioning in space. They both do essentially the sane thing, so wouldn't they be the same thing, in definition I mean and not the type of energy or force?

Energy is not a force by itself.
Therefore, energy cannot do what a force does without being used by a force. -

Energy is not named.
Unless you want to keep the energy inside you as a pet?😂 -

Energy is not a force by itself.
Therefore, energy cannot do what a force does without being used by a force.
The forces that create the energy for gravity are Attraction, repulsion, and Pressure.
Attraction to the earth, repulsion from earth/air, and pressure from atmosphere. -

Energy cannot be created, nor destroyed. There is the same amount of energy in the world now than 1, 10, 100, or 1,000,000,000,000 years ago. Energy can only change forms. There are two types of energy. Kinetic, energy of motion, and–Oh man, I just forgot the word for it!–but anyway, stored energy.Add🔥INFERNO🔥 wrote:
