I just can’t put my head around the fact that gravity isn’t just a force
EDIT : I now get how it gets stretched and how it’s comparable to putting a ball on a stretchy piece of fabric and everything but why is *gravity* comparable to that. I guess my new question is what is gravity ? 🙂 and how can weight affect it ?
In: Physics
Gravity is what we call the math that explains how objects move. We can predict a lot stuff using that math. We can tell you exactly where Venus will be in the night sky eight years from now using that math, it’s really good math.
Very clever people noticed that there were predictions that weren’t so accurate using our gravity math, and they worked on the problem a long time until they discovered that they could make predictions more accurate by distorting time.
Since the new math is more accurate we can say with as much certainty as anything that space and time are both variables of our universe that can be measurably effected.
We evolved to pick ticks off one another and spot predators in long grass. Don’t put so much pressure on that brain of yours to wrap itself around this. You’re doing fine.
