Gravity Mass Negative Negative mass

AI Thread Summary

The discussion explores the concept of gravity as a negative mass particle, questioning how gravitational potential energy is gained near black holes. It raises the issue of positive mass objects being unable to escape black holes and considers the implications of gravity being described as negative energy. The idea challenges traditional views on mass and gravity, suggesting a potential link between negative mass and gravitational effects. This perspective invites further examination of the nature of gravity and its role in astrophysics. The conversation highlights the need for deeper understanding in theoretical physics regarding gravity and black holes.

i am thinking

what if gravity is itself a negative mass particle?
like, if you have something in front of a black hole right?
how would it gain gravitational potential energy?
if anything with positive mass can't cant out of a black hole?

I've heard of gravity being described as negative energy, but not as a negative mass particle.

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev
