Gravitonic Theory
|
|
I think it is true than everything has a slight gravatic pull on each other, correct? If that is true, then gravity is not really a force on its own. it's made up of many kinds of forces. So, if the earth started out as just a slightly larger rock than the rest of the rocks around it, it could pull the other rocks into it ( rocks, gasses, matter ) and create a planet. A thing slightly smaller, but without as much mass, the moon; just had enough mass to create enough gravity for it to just orbit around the earth. Theory: The more mass an object has, the more gravity it has. Rather simple, eh? |

That's pretty much it. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation: Force = G * (mass of object 1) * (mass of object 2) / (distance between them)^2 We're just so close to the earth our mass and out distance between us and the core of the earth can be considered constant.

the gravitational force is ONE physical concept. any two massive objects considered have an attraction due to each other's gravitational field. gravity is not made up of other forces, it is one of the 4 fundamental forces of nature.

I think that the concept of gravity is a very interesting one. Inverse square laws: its funny how Coulomb determined that electric fields can also be calculated from an inverse square law. Its not that I think the mathematics involved are humorous, but the fact that they turned out the way they have (if that makes any sense). Which brings me to my question.... Has anyone seen a proof for Newtons Law of Gravitation? I've seen it proven once in my Differential Equations class (my math prof.is absolutely awesome and brilliant -> a really cool guy). I can't recall the proof in minute detail, other than that partial differentiation was involved to a certain extent. The process was awesome though! Seeing the math involved was quite an exhilirating experience, and further deepened my astonishment and awe for Newtons innate mathematical genius. |
