EatMorGlue Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Originally posted by ASER1NE i say we just say fuck it to all experimentaltion / evolutionary movements and wait for aliens to come and tell us the answers... okay now seriously this topic is right up my alley , and i took both physics 11/12 and read a few books , so i am plenty intelligent enough to comprehende it.....however... "Gravity operates in relationship to size and distance. It's weaker at greater distances and for smaller masses. " isnt gravity a constant force that acts equally on all things , at like -9.8m/s2 ..........? second, i often think that gravity isnt a downward force ( a pull ) but rather a push , while i agree that under this theory all the planets would have come apart and be floating around space , however i saw this old guy on tv who invented a number of simple magnetic and centrfical force experiments that made alot of sense my .O2 on earth, gravity exerts a downward force of 9.8 m/s^(2). this isn't true in space though. in space it does depend on size and mass. the sun has greater gravitational pull on objects than the earth. but if you're closer to the earth than the sun, then the smaller distance overcomes the mass of the sun and you're pulled toward the earth.
