Size matters, deal with it.


Imagine if it really worked the way you say it does. Big rocks have gravity but small rocks don't. What is the cut off? What about density?

What happens if your 1kg of mass under the cut off then gain 1kg? Do you magically have gravity now? What if you have 2 objects 1mm apart and each of them has 1gram less than the cut off?

Pure madness.

not sure their speaking in tongues is traumatizing, I'm not good at translation. Maybe you'll be better at it with your small hands.

good question, maybe you should question this whole gravity thing - It's 2016, surely someone has come up with a proof for it....

(Btw, they haven't)

Right, because as I've told you in the past. No physics theory has ever been proved, or will ever be proved. So your demand that a theory be proved is again: madness.

I know, I just don't understand why anyone would put 100% faith in invisible unproven theories, parts of Science have a sorta Religious dogma to it, isn't that odd? These same people that rage when you question any aspect of it, are the same people that are quick to dismiss a person in general if they don't like the things they say or do, yet this biggest proponent of the theory of Gravity also spent most of his time trying to turn rocks into gold or were clearly mentally unstable - It's actually pretty funny.

Strawman, because that isn't what we are doing.

You are right, Newton was kind of nutty. But you are missing one part, and you always seem to miss this part, and it is the most important part of all: it works. You can bitch and moan until you're blue in the face but the theory matches observation, and that is all that is required.

blatant lies are funny :rofl: What theory do you prescribe to your own behavior through observation?
