What is gravity?

Damn, this meme has some weight to it

Everyone always asks what is gravity.

No one ever asks how is gravity.

Poor gravity, always helping us keep our shit together but no one ever truly understands the weight on gravities shoulder.

Perfect use of this format. "I don't know" is the foundation of wisdom. See: reddit where too many think they know.

It's not difficult. Gravity is like magnetism for things that aren't magnetic.

"The nature of this elementary particle is best expressed through these thirty equations."

"Ok, ok, but what do those actually mean in reality?"

"Reality?"

Yeah I think I'll be subscribing to this community. Thank you for the meme.

Working in neuroscience of consciousness field I feel him deeply. Although 57k sounds amazing to a Europoor

I still want to know what it is tho

The squishy humanities version of this, in America at least, goes as follows:

In grade school you learn that the Civil War was about slavery.

In high school you learn that the Civil War was about a lot of complicated things.

In college you learn that the Civil War was about slavery.

Genuinely we can't tell what it is. We once thought it was just a normal pull due to mass until Einstein proved us wrong during a solar eclipse where we could see stars that shouldn't be visible from our current position in orbit. Then we get into how it works, WHICH THERE IS NO TELLING AS THERE ARE TO MANY GOD DAMNED VARIABLES INVOLVED.

Gravity is just the world trying to put all the stuff in the same area of space to waste less RAM

I wish I made 57k a year.

Show us on the PhD where they hurt you.

yes hello I'm here for the quantum fruit loops please

Timey wimey wibbly wobbly.

So here's my lunesta fuelled dea on gravity.

Gravitons, like the rest of the standard model, are real. In order to measure them, we need incredibly high energy collisions.

In attempting to do this, our universe was created on accident. This is because our universe is in a black hole. But the cool shit is that black holes are really portals into our own universe. Instead of the energy spontaneously appearing as measurable particles, it's dark energy causing the expansion of the universe. The Dark energy ends up being gravitons, because gravitons are a boson and only interact with matter with the gravitational force. the black holes, then, take in "normal" fermions and bosons and spit out the gravitons. The graviton release causes an expansion of space time by "pulling" space time with it.

none of that is backed up by anything

This is why I laugh at anyone who thinks we "Already know anything" or ever will

There's a reason they call a hypothetical model that unites the standard model (quantum mechanics) and gravity (relativity) the Theory of Everything.

Now do doctors of sociology

... of space. The time part in spacetime is questionable yet again.

57k per year just for making up technobabble? Shit, I'd settle for half of that.

Baby don't hurt me, no more.

Man based on this comment section I wish I could see this meme. For some reason I can never get content from mander.xyz to load on my phone tho

I respect physicists for doing something I can't. Realistically if I had the money and time, I could pursue a degree in it, I just need my work to be less abstract to stay sane.
