Is gravity a force or not?
gravity not as a force, but as the curvature of spacetime
How does mass effect gravitational force?
There is no such thing as gravitational force. Mass curves spacetime and stuff moves through spacetime in straight spacetime paths. The effect of this is what we call gravity. The more the mass the greater the curvature of spacetime.
Why is gravity the center of the earth?
It isn't. Gravity is a force created by mass in spacetime; the centre of the Earth is a particle of matter.
What is the reason behind gravitation?
Based on Einstein's theory of relativity, spacetime is curved around massive objects, and gravity "acting" on objects is actually just the objects following this curve in spacetime. Gravity is not a force.
What is gravity composed of?
Gravity is not a substance. It is not "made" of anything in that sense. It is an attractive force between objects with mass caused by a distortion of spacetime.
How does gravity escape a black hole?
Gravity is a force acting on masses. It doesn't escape, since it directly alters spacetime; it doesn't travel along it.
Does gravity have an affect on photons?
Gravity deforms spacetime, and photons follow the curves in spacetime that are put there by objects with large mass (and, therefore, large gravity).
Why do you not fall off the earth when you are on antarctica and why youer blood not rush to your head?
Because gravity acts upon every point on earth, being that its spherical, with the same strength (force). The force of gravity is continuous throughout Earth because gravity is the result of the earth bending the fabric of spacetime around it. Spacetime thus pushes down on every point of the Earth equally.
Which fundamental force is the result of warped spacetime?
I have no idea which fundamental force is the result of warped space time. However, gravity will create warped space time.
Which force acts on a moving car negotiating a bend?
Gravity and centripetal for
Do photons behave as if they have gravitational mass?
No, they don't. They "curve" around massive objects, but this is a function of the photon following the "bend" in spacetime that objects with massive gravity create. Photons have a mass equal to zero.
How do you disable gravity?
yo holmes, you are currently warping spacetime by existing. This bend is what is creating the gravitational pull you are experiencing. Have you considered inverting your spacetime warpage? Try bending space the other way, and see what happens. Now you're doing science, homeskillet. Tell the physicists of the world how it goes.
