    Energy Gravity
AI Thread Summary
Gravity is defined as a natural force between two objects, distinct from energy. The discussion explores whether gravity is an energy, an outcome of energy, or if energy results from gravity. It is clarified that when moving a mass against gravitational force, work is done, resulting in potential energy that can convert to kinetic energy. The relationship between gravitational force and energy is emphasized, noting that gravitational effects impart energy and exert force on bodies. Understanding gravity as a phenomenon helps clarify its connection to energy dynamics.

[SOLVED] Is gravity an energy?

Just a thought inspired by a friend,

Is gravity an energy or an out come of an energy or alternative is energy an outcome of gravity.

What do they say in theories and what do you think personally?

What precisely do you mean by "gravity"? Gravitational FORCE is a natural force between two objects and force and energy are two different things. Of course, when you move a mass against a force, you have to do work and so give it a potential energy. That potential energy could be "released", for example by dropping the object after moving it to a height, which would then increase the kinetic energy of the object.

If I understand your question correctly, potential energy (and then kinetic energy) is an outcome of gravitational force.
 
gravity is a phenemenon.

the effects of this phenomenon include energy being imparted to bodies, and force being exerted on bodies.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
