SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the nature of gravity and its potential relationship to the early universe's events, particularly following the Big Bang. Participants explore the concept of gravity as a reaction to the universe's initial imbalance and the subsequent expansion. The Higgs boson and its role in particle interactions are mentioned, alongside the idea that gravity may be perceived as weaker due to the expansion of space. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the complexities of gravity as a fundamental force in relation to mass and velocity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Big Bang theory
  • Basic knowledge of the Higgs boson and its significance in particle physics
  • Familiarity with gravitational forces and their relationship to mass and velocity
  • Concepts of universal expansion and its effects on gravitational strength
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of the Higgs boson in particle physics and its implications for gravity
  • Study the effects of universal expansion on gravitational forces
  • Explore theories regarding gravity leaking from other dimensions
  • Examine the principles of gravitational force relative to mass and velocity
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, and anyone interested in the fundamental forces of nature and their origins in the early universe.

I know nothing about physics really, but I get on kicks that I can't stop wondering about, most of which are nothing short of silly I'm sure. Well here's one that I would love someone's indulgence in a response to:
I am a FIRM believer in equal and opposite, I think no matter what we learn about anything that will be rule #1, or close to it. That being said, I think they say just after the big bang the universe was out of balance where heavier particles attracted others and so on, or that the Higgs boson they are using the LHC to look for that was so heavy it fell apart to create stuff that would attract and so on. Again, I don't know if I'm still making sense, but, by any means if things came apart at the very beginning wouldn't they want to revert to their natural state and come together? Ultimately my main question is, could gravity be the reaction to either the early universe falling apart (being so long ago going towards why gravity is so weak), or to the universal expansion itself? I have read a bit on the idea of gravity "Leaked" out of another dimension, but I don't think so.

Thanks for your time and patience. :)

I don't know if gravity is considered a reaction to anything. It's just a force relative to mass, velocity etc.

As the universe expands and adds space between masses, the force of gravity is naturally weakened (which is what I think you're talking about).
