People that think the world is a ball seem to be confused about gravity. They keep invoking newtonians theory and claiming it as proof of Einstein's theory.
https://bigthink.com/hard-science/gravity-force-complicated/Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are locked in an eternal battle over the nature of gravity. Whose side are you on?
what Newton did was to work out the mathematical laws that govern the gravitational attraction between two bodies. The gravitational force depended on the mass of each object and the distance separating them.
Despite the breathtaking success of Newton’s equations, he was never completely satisfied with his theory. He didn’t see the mechanism that would connect two astronomical bodies, like the Moon and the Sun. For forces like picking up a glass, what caused the force was clear. But that wasn’t true for gravity. He was always uncomfortable with this idea of “action at a distance” (action being his word for force). He even wrote to a colleague, telling him that any competent thinker shouldn’t believe his theory.
Regardless, it worked. Astronomers used his equations to predict the motions of planets and comets, as well as the location and timing of solar eclipses.
A quick note here, You can predict the motions of the "planets" because they repeat a frequency cycle over the flat Earth, creating sacred geometry like this.
https://files.catbox.moe/a25z7x.pngThe situation changed in 1915, when Albert Einstein devised his own theory of gravity. His ideas were staggeringly different from Newton’s. Einstein imagined that space and time were equivalent, where one could be transformed into the other. Because they were the same, he joined them into a single concept: spacetime.
When Einstein married his spacetime concept with gravity, he found that gravity was actually the distortion of spacetime. Heavy objects like stars and planets distorted spacetime in a way that made objects move toward them, so gravity is simply a result of the geometry of spacetime. As bizarre as this sounds, it has been validated over and over again.
While Einstein’s ideas are very well regarded, they are also known to be incomplete. His theory fails in the subatomic world. When scientists try to use his equations to describe the nature of gravity at atomic scales (and smaller), they fail miserably, predicting non-physical infinities. When a theory predicts something to be infinite, this is a sign not that infinities are real, but that the theory is broken.
Accordingly, researchers have tried to devise a theory of gravity that describes the world of the ultra-small. To do so, they look to theories of electromagnetism and other subatomic forces of the quantum world, which work very well.
The article asks whose side you are on, I am personally on Nikola Tesla's side, but based on Newton's own comments, He would probably agree with Nikola Tesla.
Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists.
I also agree with the idea of electromagnetism quantum physics as the law of everything.
Newton's explanation of gravity works terrestrially on earth because he based his theory on the atomic mass of objects. The atomic mass of an object is an average mass for a particular element. This will determine how it is affected by electromagnetism. Although the protons and neutrons are set in stone for an element to be the element it is, electrons have mass and are constantly moving and exchanging places. This is why atomic mass is average and not exact. The number of electrons can vary.
You can see how electrons affect gravity yourself by using a Van de Graaff generator. If you were to touch one, it would draw the electrons out of you. This will leave you with a positive charge. Most of the atoms in your body are heavier than the air around it, even with a positive charge. This is because not all atoms exchange electrons in the same way. For instance, Sulfur can expand its valence shell to hold more than eight electrons, but oxygen cannot. The parts of your body that consist of lighter atoms like your hair, which consists of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur, lose enough electrons to where they have less than the molecules in the air around them. When you take volume and divide it by mass, you get density. The loss of electrons make your hair less dense because it lost mass. It is now less dense than the air around it, therefore it will float.
