    I'm sorry but every time I hear a discussion where we talk about Gravity as a force, I get dissonance with Einstein's space-time fabric and I just can't reconcile.

    Well, we like Gravity because it keeps us in predictable space, (most of the time).

    The Problem with Gravity, The Growing Case for Anti Gravity:
    First of all I don't take it lightly when I argue against gravity as the force and for antigravity. But clearly decades of research has shown gravity does not fit with the quantum world; while antigravity does and begins to tie everything together.
    Gravity can't connect with the other forces in a theory of everything.
    Gravity cannot explain Dark Energy or Dark Matter that together make up 95% of the universe.
    Dark Energy is the most massive force in the universe, not gravity. Space expanding is much greater by far, than the supposed power of gravity connected to matter.
    The support for gravity can be explained in reverse by anti gravity. Everything that explains gravity from acceleration of matter, can be explained by anti gravity from empty space.
    Gravitons are not yet confirmed to be real.
    Cosmological redshift, where Galaxy light is redshifted. The galaxy is fixed in it's surroundings and it is the intervening space that is actually stretching.
    Casimir effect, suggests how anti gravity pulls matter together by pushing on all sides from empty space.
    Vacuum energy is massive and found in every part of space.
    Expanding space rule: anti gravity is not in matter but empty space around galaxies, galaxy clusters, etc.
    Newton's inverse square law, in reverse works for anti gravity.
    Einstein's curve space supports anti gravity.
    The idea for gravity though obvious may be wrong.

    Does gravity can be the "movement/flow" of spacetime from the "empty" space (expanding universe) to the space where the mass is (contracting universe)?

    Question: During a Supernova isn't gravity a major player in that sequence? Gravity finally getting its way to form a Black hole. Is that an exception for gravity? Isn't gravity super strong during this?

    • @theFLCLguy
      @theFLCLguy 2 роки тому +1

      Kinda, a black hole forms when gravity finally gets stronger than all other forces.
      It isn't that gravity gets stronger, it's that it gets more concentrated to the point becomes the dominant force.

  • @kenhoffman5363
    @kenhoffman5363 9 місяців тому

    This discussion of why gravity is so weak ignores its need to be different from the other forces. The other forces are all about what is happening on the atomic scale. The strong nuclear and weak nuclear forces are at that smallest scale involving particles that have mass and cannot venture beyond that. Electromagnetism is also happening at a small-scale involving mass. However, gravity is a force that increases with the number of accumulated particles involved. In Earth, it functions as the synergistic collective sum of the gravity of 10^50 particles. So, if it had any seemingly effective strength at the atomic scale, even though it has some, it would wind up being way too strong as the accumulated sum of a planet. It seems it is Gravity that has managed to cheat the Higgs field so that it can do its job effectively at large cosmic scales of planets, galaxies, and galaxy clusters. Otherwise, you would have trouble lifting your coffee cup.

  • @theFLCLguy
    @theFLCLguy 2 роки тому

    The issue in physics is the reduction to only three spatial dimensions. When really it's all about perspective. The number of dimensions a system has follows the inverse square law. Each dimension is a unique possible state/location.
    This is why things look more chaotic the smaller you go because the number of possible dimensions shrinks. Till the spatial dimensions drop below one dimension, which is the Planck scale. Below that is the vacuum which itself is made of sub dimensional fluctuations that are made and amplified by gravitational waves.

    Energy is the action, gravity is the reaction. Energy is the action, the warping of spacetime is the reaction. Energy is the action, the expansion of space is the reaction. Energy is the action, dark matter is the reaction. Energy is the action accelerated expansion of space is the reaction at extreme distance. Gravity is a reaction, not a force or action. In fact, the only action really taking place throughout the universe is energy. I would assume that the type 1 civilizations throughout the universe already know how to make energy from matter without moving parts, over-unity of energy.

    • @mrmotl1
      @mrmotl1 2 роки тому

      Yes I came up with this idea recently that relates to this idea and it's that gravity isn't so much a force as it is the reaction as you said, but it's the falling into place amongst it all and it's weighted balance in the aftermath. Ultimately it's all the forces combined and the relational effect of all the friction they produce as well as the added up effect of those opposing forces of nature all around you neutralizing all potential by adding themselves to the pile and seeing how deep they get or how high they stack in the general resolution of it all.
      It's basically the coherent field alignment of the magnetic field effect on all the surface layers it develops over time and its atmospheric filters ground potential within its active noise interface above its general surface.

  • @theFLCLguy
    @theFLCLguy 2 роки тому +1

    Question, if the speed of causality was to be slowing down, could you tell the difference between it and an expanding universe?
    Because if you can't then couldn't that be what dark energy is?
    And could gravity be the synchronization of vibrations through space-time as gravitational waves? The force carrier would be virtual particles.
    And the reason it's so weak is interference from other objects.
    It's why the vacuum seems to have so much energy.

  • @j-frolland4200
    @j-frolland4200 2 роки тому

    What about gluons? Doesn't the Higgs boson only cover like 5% of the mass of particles?
    And it's not weird. You just need a bit of philosophy, like the anthropic principle. Or said simply, we are here, and we observe. How could the universe be anti-observer and still be observed? Tree falls in the forest and no one hears it and all. Dumbing things down won't help anyone, neither will occulting them.

    • @theFLCLguy
      @theFLCLguy 2 роки тому +1

      Time and space being separate is the false. Increasing distance is the same thing as slowing down. And the reverse is true, decreasing distance is the same as speeding up.
      Time itself is the illusion. Our limited perspective due to taking time to process information keeps us from seeing more than a moment of time.
      If you could somehow see all of existence it would look kinda like one of those illusions of a still image that appears to move but it's just your perspective that's changing.
