Is Gravity a Product of Newton or Einstein's Theories?
In summary, gravity is a natural force that causes objects with mass to be attracted to one another. It was not discovered by one person, but has been studied by many scientists throughout history. Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are credited with formulating theories to explain gravity, with Newton's law of universal gravitation and Einstein's theory of general relativity. Both theories have been extensively tested and are considered accurate in their respective domains. While Newton's theory is more applicable to everyday situations, Einstein's theory is necessary for explaining extreme cases. Gravity cannot be manipulated or controlled by humans, but we can harness its effects through technology.

I thought I had read this one, but (thankfully) I don't remember it.

We've done this onme a couple of times. I have to ask why are so many of these cranks engineers (obviously not menaing to tar all engineers wiyth this brush)?

Hey! Not all engineers have goofy ideas, but, all engineers know lots of other engineers who do.
1. What is gravity?
Gravity is a natural phenomenon by which objects with mass are attracted to one another. It is a fundamental force of the universe and is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around their stars and objects on Earth from floating off into space.
2. Who discovered gravity?
Gravity was not discovered by one specific person, but rather has been studied and described by many scientists throughout history. Sir Isaac Newton is credited with formulating the laws of gravity in the 17th century, while Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity provided a more comprehensive explanation in the early 20th century.
3. What is the difference between Newton's theory of gravity and Einstein's theory of general relativity?
Newton's theory of gravity, also known as the law of universal gravitation, states that any two objects in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Einstein's theory of general relativity, on the other hand, describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of massive objects.
4. Which theory is considered more accurate - Newton's or Einstein's?
Both Newton's theory and Einstein's theory have been extensively tested and found to be accurate in their respective domains. Newton's theory is more applicable to everyday situations and is still used in many fields of study, while Einstein's theory is necessary for explaining extreme cases such as black holes and the expansion of the universe.
5. Can gravity be manipulated or controlled?
No, gravity is a natural force of the universe and cannot be manipulated or controlled by humans. However, we can harness its effects through technology such as rockets and satellites to explore and study the universe.
