RE: Aliens Could Be Trapped On Their Planets Because Of Intense Gravity
This theory brought me a good chuckle.
Unfortunately, it will be thrown out when scientists acknowledge massless objects.
And that will be the death nail of the theory that gravity is caused by mass.
okay? what exactly would you consider a massless object?
That is a hard one to describe.
Because it doesn't lose the F=ma mass.
But it does lose its F=Gm1m2 / d2 mass.
Okay, math won't really help me as I don't have a mathematical background. I only try to popularize science.
Could you perhaps describe it in laymans terms?
Imagine a baseball.
It takes energy to throw it. That is, increasing its momentum. The first formula.
The baseball falls towards the ground after it leaves your hand. We call this force gravity.
Modern scientists mistakenly believe this is due to mass. The second formula.
So, a massless object would be a baseball that would take energy to throw, but wouldn't fall toward the ground. It would just float there.
As far as I understand gravity is caused by the fact that mass affects spacetime and curves it.
Yep, that is what the science books say, and it is based off an insane, rich guy who did experiments with huge (some say gold) balls in a barn. Never repeated.
And there is a lot of evidence that it is not the case. If gravity was based off of mass, then would the gravitational constant vary over the surface of the earth? I mean a mountain is tiny thing compared to the supposed diameter of the earth. The gravitational constant (big G, in the formula above) varies greatly from place to place and time to time.
I am unsure what do you mean by the gravitational constant varying?
Do you mean the speed at which you get accelerated?
If so, I haven't heard of any experiments that would prove it varies greatly place to place.
That is because science doesn't talk about it.
They have even gone so far as to FIX the speed of light, as it kept varying.
