why gravity is so weak in comparison for example

2019-09-26 15:12:46 UTC

Deus vult it

2019-09-26 15:12:55 UTC  

Kek

2019-09-26 15:12:58 UTC  

Because god willed it

2019-09-26 15:13:08 UTC  

Most scientific answer ever

2019-09-26 15:13:18 UTC  

Though "fuck off" will work equally well

2019-09-26 15:13:19 UTC  

speculation; it's healthy and it's the basis of coming up with a testable hypothesis

2019-09-26 15:13:39 UTC  

just don't confuse the hypothesis with the verifiable

2019-09-26 15:13:53 UTC  

What do you mean "why" it's weak?

2019-09-26 15:13:54 UTC  

(((german-sounding name)))

2019-09-26 15:14:03 UTC  

People tend to confuse hypothesis with a theory the most, imo

2019-09-26 15:14:09 UTC  

gravity is much weaker than the other forces

2019-09-26 15:14:35 UTC  

chk urself b4 urek urself

2019-09-26 15:14:39 UTC  

Can you give me an example of other 'why' question that is scientific and not philosophical?

2019-09-26 15:14:41 UTC  

Theory is a hypothesis with a bunch of provable repeatable confirmations

2019-09-26 15:14:48 UTC  

I'm actually struggling with that

2019-09-26 15:15:08 UTC  

What people really mean when they say "it's a theory" is actually "that's a hypothesis"

2019-09-26 15:15:09 UTC  

oh, sorry i wasn't refering that we DID know; i was pointing out that we didn't know

2019-09-26 15:15:28 UTC  

well, gravity doesn't have a quantum equivalent

2019-09-26 15:15:37 UTC  

magnetism does

2019-09-26 15:15:53 UTC  

graviton is still one of the many unconfirmed hypothesies

2019-09-26 15:15:58 UTC  

Yeah that is curious

2019-09-26 15:16:07 UTC  

yup, that is what i mean by 'it's nature'

2019-09-26 15:16:15 UTC  

I heard it could be just below what we can detect

2019-09-26 15:16:17 UTC  

Oh ok

2019-09-26 15:16:18 UTC  

we understand the effects VERY well

2019-09-26 15:16:23 UTC  

Well

2019-09-26 15:16:35 UTC  

or rather 'influence'

2019-09-26 15:16:40 UTC  

not so much 'effect's

2019-09-26 15:16:45 UTC  

Aren't we working with hypothesis that gravity is the curvature of spacetime?

2019-09-26 15:17:00 UTC  

It wouldn't be exactly a force like magnetism

2019-09-26 15:17:10 UTC  

but that could be an influence

2019-09-26 15:17:40 UTC  

and it would assume we understood the nature of space time

2019-09-26 15:17:45 UTC  

we don't

2019-09-26 15:17:46 UTC  

Or the graviton wouldn't be detectible in spacetime because photon is the spacetime effect of electromagnetism or summet

2019-09-26 15:17:58 UTC  

Hmmm

2019-09-26 15:18:08 UTC  

Yeah

2019-09-26 15:18:22 UTC  

Is spacetime the sum of all fields or a separate field

2019-09-26 15:18:26 UTC  

ie. we assume gravity is uniform but we have no way of confirming this
