Gravity and my Rubber Band Ball

Posted by HeroofTime55 on June 18, 2006, 4:01 p.m.

First, in case youre wondering i have a rubber band ball about 3 inches in diameter :D

Now then onto gravity: I think gravity is the 5th dimension, or at least thats where it exists. Einsteins theorey of relativity describes how gravity is the bending of space-time (time is the fourth dimension). Einsteins theory has alot of strange stuff. Basically, space time is like a rubber sheet. Mass bends it when you put it on the sheet, and motion can pull some of the sheet with it (thus time 'travel' when nearing light speed) Anyway, space-time is a 3D (rather, 4D) piece of rubber, as opposed to a 2D rubber sheet. And gravity is the bending of this 4d chunck of rubber. But i think that its actually acting in a fifth dimension.

Back to einstein again, with his famous E=mc^2. It says that energy is matter. I think all matter and energy can be centered on a single super small uber particle that has yet to be discovered. When its dense, you have matter, when its not connected to more of itself, its energy. Therefore, energy has gravity. Buy a very very unnoticeable ammount. According to E=mc^2, where c represents the speed of light, a tiny bit of matter can turn into an incredible ammount of energy. There once was this device, with a small ammount of urainium in it that you could easily hold in your hand. Less than 1% of that mass turned into energy. That device was called the atomic bomb.

So yeah, thats my theory, taken alot from einstein, but modified a bit, and my own matter-energy particle theory. Its also possible that gravity is transfered through the theoretical "graviton" particles, but i find this unlikely. It would depend on surface area rather than mass, and paper dosent accelerate faster when its paralell to the ground (not counting air resistance). Unless of course, every atom is connected to every other atom, and knows exactly where each atom is at any moment. (Which means: the locations are transmitted instantaneously, faster than light even in short distances. So what is the "speed of gravity" in this case, huh? an interesting thought….)

OK, thats my theory for today.

EDIT: It looks like my kickass 3D game is number 11 in the waiting list. Not much longer :D

Gravity itself is made of gravitrons. Einstein says gravity itself is not enough to hold the planets in orbit. So the bending of space-time is not the same thing is gravity. Just wanted to clear that up.

it is not proven what exactly gravity is, but you are open to opinions, just as with evolution, i guess…

chiggerfruit 17 years, 11 months ago

nope, molecules were put in a particle accelerator and collided. this was to test whether or not gravitrons existed. idk why, but unless what the science channel shows to it's viewers is false, then it does. anyway, gravitrons were detected. also, gravitrons can be used as "radio waves" in a sense over AU's and AU's of distance.

anyway, on the matter, energy umm… matter lol, light has been turned into a liquid, so what if were to capture all that energy in a chemical energy and converted it into mechanical energy. that would be amazing, considering a days' worth of direct light (if you collect it above the earth's atmosphere) collected from the sun would power the whole earth for… a year right?

You sound like you're speaking from years of experience ;-)

Gravity is of the fifth dimension? Nah, I'm sorry. That's just not true.

I don't know if you work out very much… but I don't think you'd be able to easily hold an atom bomb in your hand [^^]

no, the CORE of the atom bomb is a small piece of uranium, about the size of a fist. I do my research :P

And to chiggerfruit: There are TONS of subatomic particles. Light is an example of one.

leptons, quarks, blah blah blah.

chiggerfruit 17 years, 11 months ago

yes i'm aware of that, i'm just saying how sexy it would be if we could hold a glass of light lol

HeroofTime55 17 years, 11 months ago

it would be. But the collisions with gravitons? well i find it unlikely that gravatons transfer gravatational energy, because like i said, it would depend on surface area. Even if most gravatons pass through and most continue (as to get volume, and true collisions with the subatomic particles themselves would accurately relate to mass), with very large objects you would see the surface area is what is affects gravity. now, of course, to test this, you need to measure the gravity between, say, the largest star in the universe, orbiting an even larger star. And theres stars out there that are so big they make our sun look like a speck, literally.

chiggerfruit 17 years, 11 months ago

it's not surface area, it'd be density of the sub particles, it wouldn't be large, it would just need a large amount of gravitrons per cubic unit.

A gravaton would have to contain a certain ammount of energy. That would be true if it never expended that energy. But a gravaton would have to retain it for that to work. Basically, given long enough distance of lots of atoms and collisions, there will be near 0% of the gravatons left (at the furthest points of the object from the gravity) that carry energy, or almost 0% gravatons, if you think gravatons dissapear (which wopuld be true, if they exist they likely ARE a bit of energy)
