    High School Why Are Heavier Objects Attracted to Each Other?

    I am only too happy to talk to someone who knows what gravity is! My original post did start with the word simplistic, possibly too simplistic but I wasn't expecting an answer to the age old problem of what Gravity is. Just it's relevance to the mass of the objects around each other and how the...

    Unsure where you read in my posts the above. Delusion is not one of my strong points, just as finesse is not one of yours!

    High School Why Are Heavier Objects Attracted to Each Other?

    Many thanks everyone, even Dr D. :-) I wonder if we are looking in the wrong direction for a hard answer, instead of looking in the right direction for an easy answer. I theorise that the latent energy of an object is proportional to it's mass and some masses have a far greater latent energy...

    High School Why Are Heavier Objects Attracted to Each Other?

    For all the theorists on gravitation, I would beg to ask a question on mass and it's proportional effect with gravity. IE :Greatest mass = Heaviest object. Simplistically, Why do objects with the highest mass become attracted to the nearest highest mass? Bowling ball falls to Earth via...
