The problem is that our understanding of both particle physics and the geometry of gravity is incomplete.
“Having gone from basically philosophical understandings of why things fall to mathematical descriptions of how things accelerate down inclines from Galileo, to Kepler’s equations describing planetary motion to Newton’s formulation of the Laws of Physics, to Einstein’s formulations of relativity, we’ve been building and building a more comprehensive view of gravity. But we’re still not complete,” said Dr. Pamela Gay. “We know that there still needs to be some way to unite quantum mechanics and gravity and actually be able to write down equations that describe the centers of black holes and the earliest moments of the Universe. But we’re not there yet.”

the definition of Gravity....”Obamacare”!
I swear - I misread the headline as “Where does gravy come from”....
I’m a born again Hippie, hello cousin. Peace out and never trust anybody under 55.
Isn’t the biggest obstacle one of perception? Everybody tries to visualize the physical — when we simply can’t. Like Flat people trying to figure out 3d people.
Well?
There is no such thing as gravity. The whole earth sucks.
That question WAS asked at the Thanksgiving Day meal by my daughter!
gravy fairy I guess..
A guy from Texas once told me that the reason why Texas hasn’t left the union is because of how much Oklahoma sucks.
But I’m not taking sides — don’t have a dog in that fight.
We ex hippies , having recovered from those times, have a unique opportunity to understand the ‘mind” of the Lib.ha.
david Horowitz is my role model...another man of those times that woke up. ha.
OK, so...
I just found this guy, this physicist, not the most dynamic speaker, but either way, he address’s this issue.

lol...grease and flour my boy :-)
It's not Oklahoma; it's Kansas.
I didn’t mean to hijack this thread...
It is the product of the bending of time a space.
Ask Sheldon!
It is the product of the bending of time a space.
It’s sad that they hadn’t thought of that before ?
Well done /
