@viherkasvi a theory (in science) means that something has been proven (and observed with a body of evidence). What do you mean by "it's just a force we call gravity"?

@Fading - ? "observing" something? like ..as in .."in the sky"? "PROVES" something/s? lmfao at you 😆

yeah ..you're "faded" alright 🤣

_stay sleepwalking then kiddo...._

Sorry I should have been more careful with my wording: a scientific theory is a collection of facts and observations that form a cohesive theory, which is then capable of testing via. an observation of predicted results. The theory of gravity is exactly this and as much as it's simplistic to say anything is "proven", the theory of gravity is well supported. And I'm not sure what "It's just a force we call gravity" means.

they dont even call it a "force" techncially -- they call it (refer to it as) an "Acceleration" but

Well no they do call it a force, one that causes a mechanical acceleration

well no, they dont

mkayyy

But... they do? It's... called a force?

only the stupid ones do

there is no pushing or pulling "force"

--its accleration

I thought you meant that scientists call it acceleration instead of a force

MANY do

bc

thats whta it is

Why do you take issue with it being called a force?

Dielectric acceleration

due to >> Temperature, pressure, mass, density, bouyancy, electromagnetism

..and maybe some other things

Okay well you can claim that but the majority of scientists, and the scientific literature in general, claim it to be a mechanical force

I'm not saying whether or not that's right

But it's what's generally said

they "generally say" a LOT of things - a LOT of BULLSHIT

That may be but it doesn't change that it's what they say?

Again the distinction actually isn't all that important

A force simply means an interaction, in terms of physics

Gravity is simply proposed as the force that occurs between masses, and results in an acceleration

Whether or not you agree with that is fine I'm just going over what's generally claimed about it. People who disagree are very much in the minority is all (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Okay but what's your point? It's a force that pulls things, yes?

More correctly, accelerates

this here? http://prntscr.com/npr2ou is funny shit lmao <:lul:484994724118134784>

None of that is a problem

Why?

That's what the term is defined as in science

It's not the same as the colloquial usage

The term theory when used in general speech is closer to the scientific term "hypothesis"

@Fading What I meant was that I think we don't yet fully know why mass creates gravity wells/bend space time.

Well of course. It'd be nice if it was the Higgs Boson, but who knows
