Why do objects fall to the ground?

I was just wondering about gravity...
Why do objects fall to the ground? 🍎

Sir Isaac Newton answered this question in the 1500s.

Because everything that goes up ( or sideways) has to come down?

Fun fact. Nothing ever falls to the ground, gravity is pulling stuff towards the center of itself. 

[LastThursday]

Masses (a.k.a energy) distort spacetime. The distortion tells mass how to move.

Naturally, that explanation leaves a lot to be desired, like: why does mass distort spacetime? No-one knows.

I'd say it's because mass and spacetime are part of the same thing. It should be called massenergyspacetime. But my maths skills are not good enough to come up with a theory.

But if massenergyspacetime "exists" then the structure of spacetime should be as complex as the mass in the middle of it.

Essentially, the closer you look the more unified things look.

Things fall towards each other, not up or down or anything else. But momentum can make objects orbit each other.

gravity actually states that its not pulling stuff to the ground, but that objects warp space and that space pushes everything else around it.

Space and objects are not mutually exclusive, they are in direct relation to each other. So the push and warp of space is like discussing the chicken or the egg problem imo. What does what first becomes irrelevant since space and objects are in an interchangeable relationships.

What does bind them together though, is gravity.

The problem I adress has to to with objects vs object in relation to gravity. If a big rock is launched up in the air(space) and "falls" to the surface of a planet. Then the relationship between the two obviously differ in gravitational force in some way, since the planet itself isn't falling towards other planets despite a the difference in sizes.

 And If you throw a ball from a space station towards earth. The ball will not have frictionless speed towards earth despite the fricktionless resistance that the vaccum of outer space is. Since vaccum on it's own don't generate a gravitational direction of the object to go in.

So gravity is simply objects attracting each other instead of falling on each other?

Also I heard there is no place in space where gravity is absolutely zero.

But to answer your question. Yes, it's my conclusion that planets emits gravity through mass essentially. And therefore the relationship of gravity between objects is related to the mass relationship they have with each other.

Gravity can never be zero to something with a mass.

No issues! I solve this problem my posting it with the errors, then hiding that post and creating a new post after copying the content.

True. The only way to escape the forces is to become light. Provided that you don't fall straight into a black hole!

Fuck your attitude I'd say. However, it's your prerogative if you want to throw away its usefulness. And, it's not my science, it belongs to all of us.

New study says they can attract. Stop trying to put limits....

Perhaps they want to re-unite with where they came from

@Vibes sigh. I'll go interact with some grown ups.  Moving on...

But sometimes they come back so hard that they destroy the planet!

The planet does not need to get destroyed, at least not in the limited way in which you see destruction. Instead, your perception, ideas, and rules of reality can morph and change to radical degrees, even temporarily.

I had a breathtaking hallucination last night - the best date, hands down, that I ever went on... better than any human date. It was with someone I thought I’d never see again.

At one point, she morphed into a bird and we flew up a flight of stairs side by side. She did the flying as I simply basked in her beauty and allowed her to take me wherever I needed to go.

I opened up my fears and insecurities to her, and right as I thought she would reject me and never return, she goes balls to the walls reflecting my own insecurities as a response; no words required! Instead, she recontextualized my fears as her; mirroring it in playful ways. Essentially, she is a mirror to my own Self, as we are One.

—

The date and her presence caught me by surprise initially. My heart started racing and I thought I was going to die. But what got us through the pain was open communication and honesty towards each other - beyond our human limitations and understanding. We didn’t need to figure out logically how we got reconnected after months of not seeing each other. And we didn’t need to logically figure out how to stop my panic. We just knew that Love would guide Us.

In conclusion, gravity is an illusion. So is everyone you are attracted to. I recommend flying towards Love. But it requires facing all of your fears head-on and challenging their assumptions.

Sounds like an exciting adventure!
