Einstein's Gravity: Challenging the Traditional Concept of Forces

[ender_88]

Feel free to entertain the following idea. Please feel free to poke holes in my thought
process, but keep in mind there are other ways to tell whether a balloon is filled with water
or air other than popping it. I’ve taken a few college level engineering physics classes so feel
free to post your replies as technical as you want.

Gravity isn’t a force. Forces have two dimensions, magnitude and direction, while gravity

appears to act more like a stress, which has magnitude and direction along with an area but

in this case it’s a volume of space.

Can this be interpreted as Einstein’s Gravity?

If you mean general relativity then no, why has the time not been taken into consideration ? GR essentially proposes gravity to be a property of space-time.Gravity is not a force,you're right that was the idea of Newtonian physics.GR is all about reference frames... one of the postulates is that: If a reference frame is uniformly accelerated relative to a Galilean one,then the body would be considered at rest due to uniform gravitational field.

The way I see it is that space is the fabric and time is the pattern that forms a uniform grid when mass isn’t present. When mass is present it distorts the uniform pattern, kind of like if a vat of molten metal solidified at the center of the vat first creating tension on its surroundings.

Gravity isn’t the force two objects exert on each other; it’s the stress in the space/time grid created by the tension of the distortion. Space/time gravitates matter in a reverse osmosis pattern, moving from volumes of less density to volumes of higher density, in order to keep as much equilibrium (i.e uniformity of the space/time grid) as possible. Almost like space/time is trying to isolate the disturbance created by masses.

thanks for your last response

Am I thinking too classically?

GR is a classical theorem (i.e. not quantum). You are kind of right but you need 4 dimensions and a (- +++) metric signature. The Stress-Energy Tensor which describes the source of gravity is a rank 2 tensor (4 X 4 in 4D) the T00 element is the energy density, and the diagonals are momentum flow, which is a pressure.
