I understand the "Bob and Alice" scenario and should have remembered that.
As an object gains mass, gravity increases. As...
I've been interested in physics and gravity in particular. Unfortunately, I have not had any formal classes, though I view everything I can on youtube from Suskind to Krauss. I am currently pursuing online math courses and acquiring whatever math and physics literature I can muster. I have...
First off, I want to say hello. I have been interested in gravity for most of my life, I've just taken forever to do anything about it. Better late than never. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
By no means do I consider myself a professional by any means, but I have been putting out an...
