Gravity across Multiple Dimensions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of gravitational force across multiple dimensions, specifically questioning whether gravity can be measured in one dimension by dividing the gravitational force measured in three dimensions by three. Participants assert that gravity exists in more dimensions than humans can perceive, which contributes to its relative weakness compared to other fundamental forces. The conversation also touches on the implications of gravity's strength in one-dimensional versus multi-dimensional contexts, with one participant developing a formula to quantify gravity in one dimension.

PREREQUISITES

Would the Gravitational force be applied equally across multiple dimensions or exponentially?


Could you measure the Gravitational force across 3 dimensions and the take that value divide by 3 and get the value of the gravitational force across 1 dimension?

What do you mean, specifically, by "gravitational force across 1 dimension?"
 
If I understand it right.

We experience the force of gravity across three dimensions currently because we live in three dimensions.

But Gravity exists across more than the three we can experience, that is the explanation of why the force of gravity is so weak compared to other forces.


So logically if you were only in 1 dimension it would be even weaker and in more than 3 it would be greater.

I am working on a formula for the force of gravity across 1 dimension... but the question is can you simply divide the current value obtained by formula by 3 to get the value of 1 (assuming the force of gravity is equal in all dimensions.)
