But it's what's generally said

2019-05-17 09:59:07 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 09:59:22 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 09:59:30 UTC  

Again the distinction actually isn't all that important

2019-05-17 09:59:46 UTC  

A force simply means an interaction, in terms of physics

2019-05-17 10:00:32 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 10:01:58 UTC  

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)

2019-05-17 10:03:16 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 10:03:22 UTC  

More correctly, accelerates

2019-05-17 10:03:24 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 10:03:27 UTC  

None of that is a problem

2019-05-17 10:03:33 UTC  

Why?

2019-05-17 10:03:38 UTC  

That's what the term is defined as in science

2019-05-17 10:03:43 UTC  

It's not the same as the colloquial usage

2019-05-17 10:04:22 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 11:04:31 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 11:12:29 UTC  

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

2019-05-17 11:13:12 UTC  

Or the higgs field

2019-05-17 11:13:37 UTC  

But electromagnetism as a cause can be ruled out im fairly confident

2019-05-17 11:13:58 UTC  

Well yeah lol, gravity is far stronger

2019-05-17 11:14:10 UTC  

weaker*

2019-05-17 11:14:11 UTC  

rather

2019-05-17 11:14:19 UTC  

What am I saying

2019-05-17 11:14:25 UTC  

EEG machines should attract all objects, not just metal if electromagnetism was the case

2019-05-17 11:14:32 UTC  

GRAVITY is far stronger than the electromagnetic forces

2019-05-17 11:14:43 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-17 11:14:46 UTC  

I need to stop drinking lmao

2019-05-17 11:14:50 UTC  

😂

2019-05-17 11:15:10 UTC  

Has anyone ever thought that gravity was electromagnetism? I can't see a reason to think that tbh

2019-05-17 11:15:10 UTC  

It's 2:20 pm here, just woke up

2019-05-17 11:15:23 UTC  

Mike says so

2019-05-17 11:15:31 UTC  

And alot of other people here

2019-05-17 11:15:39 UTC  

Their similarity is they... both follow the inverse square law? Which is just a consequence of acting spherically lmao

2019-05-17 11:15:58 UTC  

Yeah, but try to tell that to them

2019-05-17 11:16:17 UTC  

I'm just trying to imagine what would make someone explain gravity via electromagnetism

2019-05-17 11:16:33 UTC  

I can't understand why everything else tends to spherical, except the earth

2019-05-17 11:17:07 UTC  

Well I mean at least some are consistent, the majority seem to disbelieve gravity behaves as though attracted toward point masses (aka spherical behaviour)

2019-05-17 11:17:59 UTC  

And if you say mass attracts mass they keep asking what is mass 😂

2019-05-17 11:18:35 UTC  

It'd be nice if we knew that lol

2019-05-17 11:18:48 UTC  

Is "an inherent property" not sufficient?
