Did Einstein invent gravity?
No. Nobody invented gravity. it has existed since the beginning of the universe. Isaac Newton is generally credited with "discovering" gravity, as he was the first to describe it accurately: as an attractive force between all objects with mass. Einstein later refined the model of gravity to how modern physicists understand it as a distortion of time and space.
Who is the founder of the law of gravity?
The current theory of gravity, General Relativity, was developed by Albert Einstein between 1905 and 1915. Before that the most advanced model was Newtonian gravity, developed by Isaac Newton. Of course Einstein's model is identical to Newton's in the low mass limit.
Is gravity a fundamental force or a curvature of space-time?
There are basically two schools of thought about gravity, one I shall call the curvature or Einstein model, and the other one I shall call the particle model. The Einstein model asserts that gravity is a curvature of spacetime and is the one predominately thought in schools, mainly because the particle model is more difficult to explain. The particle model on the other hand asserts that, just like the other forces of nature, the force of gravity is transmitted via a virtual spin-2 particle called the graviton. The particle model also says that the graviton affects, or couples to, each other particle including other gravitons. The predictions these models make are the same, because gravitons couple to everything, and to themselves, they can certainly give the same appearance as a theory of bent spacetime because there is no way to distinguish it (because there is nothing that does not couple to the graviton, and thus gravity) from a model with a rigid spacetime but with graviton self-interaction. In fact using the framework of quantum field theory, one can show that one arises at exactly the same equations using the particle model as when using the curvature model. The curvature model is older, being the model Einstein used himself, but the particle model seems to put gravity on equal footing as the other three fundamental forces (electromagnetism, weak and strong forces) which is also very pleasing. The particle model, however, has not yet been successfully been merged with the other three forces due to internal inconsistencies. We have not yet seen a graviton in a particle collider because gravity is extremely weak compared to the other forces (consider a simple magnet able to lift up a piece of iron even with the entire gravity of the Earth pulling on it!) so a graviton would only couple very weakly so it would be very hard to detect. In fact I can probably not overstate how hard it would be. A graviton couples so weakly that its influence would only become important in particle interactions at very high energies, and it is likely that at that point new physics will also emerge, such as the possible discreteness of space and time for example.
What is the line called between gravity and no gravity?
Sorry; there is no line between gravity and no gravity. Gravity is everywhere.
Why is gravity called gravity and not anything else?
Because, the person who discovered gravity was named Gravity Dickakiss
What is the gravity model in geography?
The geographical gravity model predicts bilelateral trade flows based on economic sizes.
What are the forces that affect a model rocket?
Gravity and wind.
What is a common model for Einstein's theory of gravity?
Whatever goes up and remains within the influence of earths gravity must come down, or circle the earth as a satellite.
What four forces is a model rocket subject to during a flight?
Lift, drag, thrust, and gravity.
Who theorised the Bohr model in physics?
The Bohr model was theorized by Niels Bohr. He compared his model to that of the planets orbiting the sun but instead of gravity holding atoms together, he suggested electrostatic forces.
Is the word gravity an abstract noun?
The noun gravity is an abstract or a concrete noun depending on use.The noun 'gravity' is a concrete noun as a word for the force that makes any two objects that have mass move towards each other; a word for a physical force.The noun 'gravity' is an abstract noun as a word for the seriousness or importance of something, graveness; a word for a concept.
What three forces are unified by the standard model of particle physics?
Strong force, weak force, and gravity
What is the model for the weight of earth and to the weight of Venus?
Venusian gravity is about 90% Earth's gravity, so a 100lb man would weigh around 90lbs on Venus. Not much of a difference, huh? :)
What does the alleged discovery of the higgs boson particle mean when applied to string theory?
It doesn't mean much. The Higgs Boson is only necessary for the Standard Model to be correct; the Standard Model excludes gravity, and String Theory is a theory of quantum gravity. The two are separate from one another.

What is a model of the planets in motion around the sun called?
well the motino is called hippodelightess and it is a very strong force of gravity.
