High School Gravity and Weight: Understanding the Relationship and Common Misconceptions
Thnx Rob! I always wondered about that, it makes sense, i always thought so. And i can actually visualize it without the need for picture or graph. This gives me a new found appreciation for einsteinian space-time geometry! You add this to the idea that a spinning planetoid is causing a frame... -

Graduate Your Thoughts on Black Hole Production at CERN
I understand the general consensus is that the LHC poses no real threat and that the formation of stable micro-singularities is highly unlikely. My question however is this - if in the off chance the LHC does produce a stable micro-singularity, would it be possible to contain it, and harness or...- Dru

High School Gravity and Weight: Understanding the Relationship and Common Misconceptions
oh i see now, thnx guys that helped! I've always wondered about that, thnx again. i have another quick question regarding einsteinian space-time geometry. einstein's idea of space-time is analogous to a flat sheet spread out with the objects in the universe creating small or large dips in the... -

High School Gravity and Weight: Understanding the Relationship and Common Misconceptions
I was wondering about gravity and weight? I apologize if this question seems elementary to you all, so please forgive me as i am not a scientist. If gravity acts equally on all objects regardless of size or mass, (ie. drop a bowling ball or a penny, they both fall at the same speed right?) then...
