Negative gravity is the answer to the ages-old question of...

is there anti-gravity.

Anti-gravity will offer a lot of solutions to space travel, and lighter than air airplanes. With anti-gravity, we would not need fuels and we could just bounce from one part of the planet to any other with no worries about landing and getting hurt.

I just need funding to conduct the final research to get this theory confirmed.

BTW, I have another theory about what ‘gravity’ is and what causes it. If anybody wants to know it, just comment below.

I've never read Newton's Principia. I know that he explains how gravity works--that every bit of matter attracts every other bit of matter. But did he ever explain why? Why doesn't matter just leave other matter alone instead of messing with it?

‘Space’ is absence of ‘Matter’.

If the entire universe consisted of just two hydrogen atoms, a billion light years apart, they would eventually come together.

Gravity depresses the fabric of ‘Space-Time’ so that they eventually collide..................

...they would eventually come together.

Sort of like the "Far Side" cartoon where there is a large plain with one tree, and the dinosaur runs into it?

Most Natural Philosophers (scientists) at the time of Newton rejected his theories because although they seemed to work, he had provided no reason as to why they worked.

Much science is like that these days for better, and now more often, for worse.

“ Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe”

If gravity is warped space then it seems this guy is suggesting there are now two sources of warped space: mass and space warped during the creation of the universe.

If our theories about the Big Bang and Inflation are mostly correct, then it makes sense that space wasn't necessarily uniform to begin with. This might also explain the graininess of the background radiation and the discovery by the Webb telescope of galaxies that appear more well formed than expected in the early universe.

Realistically they don’t know.
Photons can’t have mass, theoretically
but gravity can move them.
What causes gravity?
they don’t know, so they give BS
explanations.
We don’t know a lot of stuff.
What I find a little disturbing
is the reluctance to admit ignorance.

Photons can’t have mass, theoretically

___________________________

Photons do have mass, theoretically!

Photon energy E = hf = mc2

So m = hf/c2

That’s not too much mass, but something.
Of course, when photon stops oscillating, f=0
and m = 0

“I know that he explains how gravity works—that every bit of matter attracts every other bit of matter. But did he ever explain why?”

Jimi Hendrix explained it best -

Like attracts like, creating resonance until someone messes with the amplitude and it all gets blown up in a big bang, man.

If ‘Negative Mass’ exists, then there should be a corresponding ‘bump’ in the Space-Time Fabric instead of a ‘well’..............

If the Universe is like a ‘bubble’, as some theorize, then it is globular in effect even if not perfect.

That accepted, the the farthest you could possibly ‘see’ would be your own back door...................
