The gravity model is an economic concept that predicts the interactions between two places based on their size and distance from each other. It suggests that larger economies or populations and shorter distances between them will result in stronger economic relationships, such as trade or migration flows. The model is commonly used in international trade and migration studies to understand patterns of interaction between countries or regions.

How the centre of gravity of irregular objects measure?

The center of gravity of irregular objects can be measured by hanging the object freely and observing where it balances perfectly. Another method is to calculate the average position of the weight distribution in each dimension. Computer software can also be used to model the object and determine its center of gravity.


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.


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.


Why is the force of gravity considered so weak in the standard model?

Technically gravity is not part of the Standard Model, but a good way to see that it is so weak is to consider two electrons some distances apart. You can calculate the force of the electric repulsion and also the force of gravitational attraction between them. What you will find is that the electric force is some 40 orders of magnitude bigger than the gravitational attraction. Also consider that even though the entire Earth is pulling on an iron nail, you can still easily lift it using a simple (and small) magnet.


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.

What is the gravity model in geography?

The gravity model in geography is a mathematical formula used to estimate the interaction between two locations based on their distance and size. It suggests that the flow of people, goods, or information between two places is directly proportional to their size and inversely proportional to the distance between them. The model is widely used to analyze spatial interaction and help understand patterns of movement and connectivity.

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.
