Could it be that gravity is not really a fundamental force? What if gravity is a process and the process creates a force? Similar to wind being a force. Wind is created due to a process, and the process creates a force that could be used in wind turbines. The process for gravity could be a large...

Thanks to all who have taken the time to post a reply to my questions. I am sure I will not always ask meaningful questions when it comes to physics, but at least I'll be learning how to formulate better questions in these discussions. Thanks

Is #2 of Einstein's gravity a mistake or typo? I was not aware of this in #2 of Einstein's gravity. My theory (idea) of gravity, considering e=mc2: <----- I can't believe I wrote this...lol 1) It does not accelerate as it orbits 2) It accelerates as it falls Does an object accelerate as it...

There is no need to bring quantum mechanics into this because this can be explained by GR and SR. I do not feel that general relativity contributions are insignificant here, and even Jonathon used both GR and SR in his post. I agree with what Jonathon said. This supports my idea that at higher...

@J.S. Note that time dilation is not directly related to the "strength" of gravity (that is, the acceleration or force per unit mass) but rather to the potential, which is more like its "depth". The rate of change of velocity is referred to as acceleration. There is no acceleration...

If you add a third atomic clock that has only rest mass, then compare the other 2 orbital clocks after a specified interval of the clock that has only rest mass, I believe the clock in the lower orbit will have less time than the outer orbit clock. I need to look at the Hafele-Keating...

My assumption is the clock in the lower oribt will have a higher speed than the clock in the outer orbit. Since the clock in the lower orbit has a higher speed, then it also has more energy/mass. More energy/mass equals less time. If the clocks have too much speed, then they will fly out of...

Clocks run slower at lower altitudes (orbits) where gravity is stronger. An atomic clock in the outer orbit of Earth will run faster than an atomic clock in the inner orbit of the earth, both clocks will be free falling. True, False, or Speculation?

Einstein said that time slows down and mass increases as you approach the speed of light. From the perspective of a distant outside inertial observer that's correct; from the perspective of the near light speed frame observer, all appears as normal locally, but the time dilation and length...

@atyy: An atomic clock is a clock that uses the resonance frequencies of atoms as its resonator. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the resonator is "regulated by the frequency of the microwave electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by the quantum transition (energy change) of an atom...

@Denton: At the speed of light, length shrinks to zero and time stands still. At 99% the speed of light the object's length would be near 0 and would pass the Earth before it had time to pull the Earth into it.

Photons, and everything else, like planets, try to go where time is least. Gravity curves spacetime because the photons or anything that has mass are seeking or are pulled toward a path of least time, which is a path of more gravity. Physicists have proven with atomic clocks and airplanes that...
