Im trying to think of the best way to put this

2019-12-14 17:02:35 UTC  

G is not g

2019-12-14 17:02:41 UTC  

that is correct

2019-12-14 17:02:46 UTC  

Right

2019-12-14 17:02:50 UTC  

G is a gravitational constant

2019-12-14 17:02:52 UTC  

So g isnt gravity

2019-12-14 17:03:01 UTC  

It is acceleration due to gravity

2019-12-14 17:03:05 UTC  

yes

2019-12-14 17:03:18 UTC  

Gravity isn't the acceleration per se

2019-12-14 17:03:28 UTC  

how is it not?

2019-12-14 17:03:40 UTC  

F=ma

2019-12-14 17:03:46 UTC  

yes

2019-12-14 17:03:59 UTC  

So, gravity between more massive objects is larger

2019-12-14 17:04:11 UTC  

Right?

2019-12-14 17:04:13 UTC  

the mass would be the object, and acceleration is the gravity

2019-12-14 17:04:24 UTC  

and yes that is correct

2019-12-14 17:04:42 UTC  

More like F/m=a

2019-12-14 17:04:53 UTC  

yes

2019-12-14 17:05:09 UTC  

We can call the force gravity

2019-12-14 17:05:13 UTC  

Mass is just mass

2019-12-14 17:05:19 UTC  

force, due to gravity

2019-12-14 17:05:50 UTC  

gravity is not a force in itself, it only causes a force on another mass

2019-12-14 17:06:53 UTC  

We have a terminology disagreement

2019-12-14 17:06:57 UTC  

Which is okay

2019-12-14 17:07:17 UTC  

I'll see if I can get some sources which clarify my point

2019-12-14 17:08:06 UTC  

It has nothing to do with mass it’s mass and energy in general

2019-12-14 17:08:13 UTC  

Even light has gravity but it has no mass

2019-12-14 17:08:36 UTC  

E=mc^2

2019-12-14 17:08:39 UTC  

Shoot energy and momentum I mean

2019-12-14 17:08:43 UTC  

ok, so?

2019-12-14 17:08:59 UTC  

So it’s wrong to say it’s just mass

2019-12-14 17:09:07 UTC  

I have some university level material, too

2019-12-14 17:09:15 UTC  

Like GR?

2019-12-14 17:09:16 UTC  

But this is the easiest to just skim

2019-12-14 17:09:45 UTC  

E=mc^2 talks mass energy equivalency

2019-12-14 17:09:51 UTC  

@SpiderLedgic (Cancer) i see your point

2019-12-14 17:10:04 UTC  

Gravity is the curvature of space time

2019-12-14 17:10:09 UTC  

its relitivity

2019-12-14 17:10:45 UTC  

Now this is a real discussion

2019-12-14 17:10:59 UTC  

the formula to calculate gravitational acceleration is Gm/r^2
