I was watching a Vsauce video and learned that any two objects, like two baseballs, are attracted to each other because of their mass, and the bigger the mass, the more gravity an object has. What does mass have to do with gravity, and what causes gravity? Why does something just attract other things around it?
In: Physics
We don’t know why, we just know it does. Right now the best we have are some damn good theories, theories that are so good they almost certainly contain a huge amount of truth in them. But our theories are not the same thing as understanding. We can’t currently answer the question of “are anti-gravity engines possible?” or “can you make a gravity shield, or lens?”
People are not wrong in their explanations here but I think understanding how much we don’t know, and the majesty of that is probably the most important thing you take away from your question.
