What Causes Gravity?
Quote:
| The standard definition of gravity is that it's a universal attraction between physical objects where F = GMm/r^2. Gravity is unique in that it is a extremely weak force yet a dominant force on cosmological scales due to it being a long range force and a cumulative force. Einstein proposed that gravity is a consequence of the curvature of space-time. Gravity has also been described as a pushing force due to ether compression and as a pulling force. |
