I hate to interrupt the regularly scheduled programming here... but I am in a condumdrum about the weakness of gravity, and I'm sorry, I just really need to bounce it off of someone.
Okay, in my recent travelings... I got to reading this science journal... cuz I was bored and it looked interesting... so I picked it up and started reading about this new theory that Newtonian Physics is not holding up at the galaxy level. Nothing proven yet... but has serious potential.
No one, not even Einstein, could figure out why gravity is such a weak force, but it is theorized, that gravity is woven, somehow into the space/time theory... the fabric of the universe.
So I got to thnking. At the quantum level, gravity does not behave as it does at the macro level. This consfused Einstein. K. I get that.
So... what if... gravity defines the closed system? And systems within systems? What if it is merely an indicator of they system with which you are dealing, rather than a manifestation of the system?
For example... bodies that have mass exhibit certain levels of gravity that will always be pre-empted by the stronger forces, such as EMP and strong and weak nuclear forces.
But... if gravity were any stronger than it is... how is it... that we would even be able to survive? If gravity operated at the quantum level as it does at the Newtonian level, how it is that you and I would have the ability to think? To walk upright... to have a neuron fire?
Photons have no mass... why, then, would gravity have the same affect on them that it does on say... a planet? Why would gravity have the same affect on a galaxy that it does on a planet? If it did... the whole big bang would never have happened... yes? No?
WHY WOULD gravity operate in a dense field, like a black hole, the same way it would in empty space... if it did... waht sense would THAT make?
Can you help me out here? Sorry for the dodge... just been wondering...
