  • Is gravity a force? The answer to that simple question is remarkably complicated and depends crucially on the theoretical framework in which the question is asked and answered. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln takes on this surprisingly tricky question.

      WHAT IS E=MC2 IS SPACE AS what is gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. c squared CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. In other words, WHAT IS E=MC2 IS SPACE AS what is gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! Indeed, consider what is THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE !! The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! Indeed, consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE. Now, consider, ON BALANCE, what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON !!! So, ON BALANCE, consider what is the orange (AND setting) Sun !!! ON BALANCE, it is the SAME SIZE as WHAT IS THE EYE !!! CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites (ON BALANCE); as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. Indeed, WHAT IS GRAVITY IS, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked. Now, notice what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE; AS what is THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE. GREAT !!! So, consider, ON BALANCE, why and how it is that there is something instead of nothing. (BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.) It ALL does CLEARLY make perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! A given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal area in equal TIME, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE !!!!

      What if a random dude, with great imagination and the ability to understand and visualize how mechanisms work knows what is gravity? What if his answer is agreed by math, observations, theory and the reality and has implications on everything, from transport to energy production and matter manipulation?
      I'm that guy & if I get 10k likes to my account, I will make a video explaining what gravity is in such a way that even 7 years old's will understand.
      ps to anybody wondering why I want followers first: I've spent too much time and energy on this question to give the answer away for free.

      ​​@@bing43 the satellites are the prove of the opposite: if there isn't a force, there isn't an acceleration, which means that a still body will continue to be still whenever the effect of the gravity is removed; instead the observations suggest that a still body will have a velocity different from 0 after a limited exposure to a gravitational field. The gravity can only be a force, coherently with the classical definition of force. Returning to satellites, if the gravitational force was apparent, we wouldn't observe the typical motion of the satellites around the planets, we would have circular trajectories which would be parallel and at the same time incident with the "right lines" of the near space, which doesn't make sense... The coherence is a principle of reality, the description of the gravitation must be coherent with all the rest...

      Greenhouse gas will flow further away from the Earth's surface. Earth will be cooler and more comfortable to live.
      Global oil and gas prices and electricity prices jack up because nuclear power plants worldwide are nearly all broken and unable to generate electricity.
      The Gods who created and manage this Universe (aliens) made oil, gas, coal and minerals.
      Please use these energies. Gods recycle the landfills, trash, plastics, waste, sewage, and the dead body of water creatures under the crust to make oil, gas, and minerals.
      Gods use flying saucers to compress dead trees and plants under the soil to make coals. So Gods can bring better asteroid soil and better seeds to Earth to upgrade Earth. Most asteroids are worth hundreds of millions or billions or trillions.
      God bless, I do oil, gas, coal and Solar resonator.
      Please do not use hydropower dams. They caused environmental damages and fishes extinct; also increased parasites, more angry cows, animals and humans, and more diseases; also increased landslides, risk of dam collapse and other disasters. Gods are removing the dams.
      Gods have arrived. Lots of aliens from other Planets and other Universes have arrived and landed on Earth. They are judging and taking away bad people for reeducation.
      If you want to talk to God and ask God to help, you must be vegan. Killing and eating meat, egg, honey and use animal and insects product is very bad. It is disrespectful of life. It is the worst karma in the Universe. Gods do not like it.
      You ask God to read Akashic records to solve your problems and your ancestors’ problems one by one.
      Pyramids are good. Detoxification. In my dream, my whole family pooped and pooped a lot.
      You can print out the pyramid photos. Think about it. Put the photos in bedroom, toilet, kitchen, work place.
      With clean pyramid photos, you can see better too.

      @Noelle Leger WHAT IS E=MC2 IS SPACE AS what is gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. c squared CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. In other words, WHAT IS E=MC2 IS SPACE AS what is gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! Indeed, consider what is THE EARTH/ground ON BALANCE !! The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! Indeed, consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE. Now, consider, ON BALANCE, what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON !!! So, ON BALANCE, consider what is the orange (AND setting) Sun !!! ON BALANCE, it is the SAME SIZE as WHAT IS THE EYE !!! CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites (ON BALANCE); as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. Indeed, WHAT IS GRAVITY IS, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked. Now, notice what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE; AS what is THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE. GREAT !!! So, consider, ON BALANCE, why and how it is that there is something instead of nothing. (BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.) It ALL does CLEARLY make perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! A given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal area in equal TIME, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE !!!! GREAT !!!

    Just today I was thinking about the subjectivity of information. For example, if I was in an audience listening to someone speaking Cantonese, to me it would be data (I’m getting audible signals, but they don’t mean much to me), but to someone else who speaks it, it would be information. That could be another example of how the conceptual framework used affects the communication requirements.

      There's not such an effect. It was dismantled, soon after announced, by other researchers, as artefact (bias in premises, measure, repeatability, etc). Btw I knew that it was a bluff, before having read that they already demolished it, since the measure cannot be but subjective. Anyway, from what I remember, officially there were two problems - 1) absence of repeating 2) totally random answers gave the same results as obtained from their tests.

      I have also seen posts from a reliable person about how Einstein himself said not to take the geometrical view too seriously. This same person explained that you could view electromagnetism geometrically, except that you have different geometry based on different charges. With gravity, everything is affected, so you can have a single geometry describe everything.
      Also, how would you conserve energy that way, e.g.?

      I mean he got it wrong. If Newton was right then both the earth's acceleration upward and the gravitational force downward would cancel each other out at the earth's surface. But Einstein's field equations posit that gravity isn't a force, and it is the earth that is accelerating. The very thing that proves this is the use of an accelerometer on the earth's surface. It has a positive or non-zero read out of acceleration. When if Newton was right, it would be 0. So gravity isn't a force.

    The "tautology" part is in reference to the fact whether gravity is a "force" depends on the definition of "force" that is being used (among other things). The definition of "force" that requires particle mediation and also presumes gravity isn't mediated by particles, doesn't really explain what gravity is because it doesn't explain what "space-time" even is, i.e., the thing that is "curved" and is thus perceived as "gravity". But, a an alternate definition of "force" that doesn't require particle mediation would include gravity as a "force". Thus, the tautology, opposite tautologies, depending on the definition of "force".

      except that based on Newton's equations, the downward force of gravity and the upward acceleration of the earth would cause both forces to cancel out. In Einstein's field equations, gravity isn't a force and only the earth is accelerating upward, and the acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2. The thing that proves Einstein's posit that gravity isn't a force is the use of an accelerometer on earth's surface. It reads out that the earth is accelerating. But if Newton were right then the accelerometer wouldn't read out anything. It would be zero. So gravity isn't a force.

      There is zero evidence that nature & natural processes can make & operate the simplest physical function .... 13.7 or 4 billion years ago .... or today.
      We know for a fact that Nature ... can not make & operate the simplest physical Function made by Man (Intelligence) ... like a lever, wedge, spring, nut & bolt, hammer & nail, ... cup, plate, knife & fork.
      A quantum particle, field & force ... are the currently known ... simplest Functions in the Universe ... with purpose, form, processes, properties & design.
      The Universe is the only known ISOLATED Thermodynamic System(function).
      All thermodynamic Systems .... originate from the surrounding System ... which must provide the space, time, Laws, matter, energy and INTELLIGENCE ... to exist & to function.
      And the Surrounding System ... of the Universe with time & NATURAL laws ... must be UNNATURAL, timeless & infinite ... otherwise it will be a Natural System(function) that originates from a surrounding System with an Intelligence that made it.

      ​@@kylelochlann5053 see this is what i really dont get- the idea of a fundamental force makes sense as a force which is not reducable, but it doesnt make any sense to me to say that an "interaction" is irreducable - an interaction implies 2(or more things) which are interacting to produce an effect, like gravity or etc, & if thats the case calling it irreducable seems incoherent to me. Can anyone explain what im not getting here because this really bothers me.

    • @kylelochlann5053

      @@ar4203 Sure. Let's start with a reducible interaction, say the interaction between two surfaces sliding past each other (a.k.a. the force of kinetic friction). Is this friction force reducible to a more general interaction? Yes, friction is a function of the normal component of the contact force, f=μN. We can then ask if contact forces, the interaction between two surface more generally, is reducible to more general interactions. Yes, contact forces are dependent on the electromagnetic interaction. Here's where it becomes irreducible - we cannot express the interaction between charged particles in anything more general, or any other type of interaction. Basically that's the idea and we 4 types of interactions that cannot be explained in terms of anything else.

    Hi Don. As I understand it there are a few theoretical scientist working on thoughts about the link between entanglement and gravity. I think it will eventually lead to testable predictions. Have you got some thoughts in that direction?

    • @ExecutiveChefLance
      @ExecutiveChefLance ปีที่แล้ว

      Its not Testable. So a Wolfgang Pauli "Not Even Wrong" theory. The idea is that the Entanglement of Particles at beginning of the Universe has collected among Black Holes and this has some effect.
      Look up Leonard Susskind 2022 Oppenheimer Lecture on "Quantum Gravity". IMO this is the BEST theory out there. And Susskind straight up says his Math on Quantum Decoherence, the Momentum of Information spread within the Quantum Hologram equals Marco Gravity. Reality is a Hologram created by Quantum Particles and Waves that we cannot see or cohere. Therefore similar to a Technological Hologram the Quantum World creates the Reality we perceive similar to that. This happens because we cannot perceive the True Nature of Quantum Waves and what we call Wave Function Collapse occurs. When this occurs something starts it. Imagine poking a Hologram the Information of your Poke spreads throughout the Hologram. This is what happens in Reality. That information spread of Macro Things interacting with Quantum World. The momentum of that Interaction equals the Math of Newtonian Gravity. He has another lecture I have not watched yet. Funny enough its called Debunking Quantum Gravity. Which is interesting because its all the stuff I just said here. Guess he doesn't consider that "Quantum" but simply what Gravity is? I need to watch it for real.
      He even says it will be testable in Low Energy Labs soon. Guy is Next Level. We are Giants swatting a Dense Clot of Quantum Gnats swarming around us. With every Movement and Action rippling through these Swarms. You follow this Logic a Black Hole is simply when Energy gets to a Point when Waves cannot Exist any longer. So No Reality can Cohere.

    Hi Don. I get it that gravity is the curvature of Spacetime according to General Relativity. But then wouldn't gravitons and general relativity be incompatible? Do we have to pick one or the other?

    • @narfwhals7843
      @narfwhals7843 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      We are pretty certain that general Relativity is incomplete. So if we get a complete description with gravitons we should pick that.
      General Relativity will then be a classical, low energy approximation and compatible in that limit. Like Newtonian gravity is compatible with general Relativity in the limit of low velocities and large distances.

    • @drdon5205
      @drdon5205 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I would agree with Narf, mostly. Quantum gravity is not an established fact. What is established is that general relativity fails in the world of the super small. Quantum gravity is one possible explanation - a likely one, but not the only one. In quantum gravity, gravity becomes quantized, which means there is a particle transmitting gravity. We call this a graviton.
      Under this scenario, gravitons are "more right" than general relativity. And the two theories are inconsistent, inasmuch as general relativity assumes that space is smooth, continuous, everywhere differentiable, and all of those math things. Some theories of quantum gravity assume that space is quantized. So those two ideas don't hang together. On the other hand, some quantum gravity theories allow for smooth space and only quantized gravity.
      Then there's the possibility that quantum gravity is silly. After all, just because the other forces are quantized, doesn't necessarily mean that gravity is. Thus, it would be better to say "small gravity" or something like that.
      In any event, the bottom line is that there is an incompatibility between GR and quantum gravity ideas that have been kicked around. However, in the spirit of the video, we should embrace our ignorance and simply say "I dunno."

    I read, few minutes ago, "In curved space time you have to accelerate just to remain stationary" explanation of relativistic gravity explanation. So it is about changing the meaning of "acceleration". But this way one can generate point-of-view models at free will, and their acceptance will depend upon the administration of conformism. So we are about self-referential models / concepts that to satisfy their logic change, at free will, the meanings of the words / sub-concepts.
    Dear Lincoln, yes "Physics is all!", but only under the condition it is free. The smell that I feel is that it was hijacked long ago, and that partial liberation is underway nowadays.

    You're right Dr. Lincoln! "It's a force in geometry caused by buzzing of quantum particles". I would personally go for Strings and Gravitons, as Entropy seems to exotic to me. All best!

    I would love a video on entropic gravity!

    Thank you for the video. There is a hypothesis - a single picture of the universe: When moving and fluctuating in a vacuum, the electromagnetic field in the nodes - Forms quanta of gravity - Which carry the speed of light. Suppose - Can be detected using a mobile, new hybrid - the experience of Michelson Morley, if it is in motion relative to the DGP - the dominant gravitational field, for example in 🚆, as in Einstein's mental experience.

    “Be careful when you make a claim about what’s going on…”: thank you! Too many people do this, and it leads to misunderstanding. (Honestly, I’m only talking physics.)
