Gravity: A Theory in Crisis
May 5, 2009 — Note: This is **not** a joke. How could gravity be a theory in crisis? Isn’t gravity one of the best-understood facts of nature? Don’t we all avoid jumping off cliffs because of the law of gravity? Gravity is doing just fine, thank you. It’s our theory of gravity, and the cosmology built on it, that is in crisis – according to a report on PhysOrg today: “Study plunges standard Theory of Cosmology into Crisis.”...

I said Obama had no gravitas. Now they elected him and the entire universe is flying apart.

I have no doubt that gravity is a spacetime phenomenon. My question is, however, what is it about mass that generates this phenomenon? ... Could it be that mass is an accumulation of temporal quanta? Isn't a particle merely a little bit of space and a smidgen of time wrapped up with energy? If the warping of spacetime is what gravity is, why have we left the temporal accumulation out of the reasoning?

Depends on what substance the breeze consist of and how much gravity is present

Ummmm. I may check this out the next time I fly my Cessna Skyhawk. I'll let you all know if I keep flying when I pull the power back to idle.

How much does a breeze weigh? That depends on how hard it blows.

Any changes to theory will still have physics and astronomy being incompatible with the notion that the universe was created 6,000 years ago (or 10,000 or anything less than billions of years).

Quantum mechanics is definitely not for lightweights. Some of the theoretical implications are so paradoxical that trying to wrap your mind around them is like trying to nail water to a wall - with a hammer made of light and a faucet that wasn’t turned on until tomorrow.

You don't have to believe in gravity to be affected by it!
He ain't heavy, he's my g = 9.8 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2.
