Adekunzy:
Back then in secondary school, JSS3 to be precise, We threw a question to our English teacher as to why we use "AN" for words like "Egg", "Umbrella" e.t.c.

Confused baba stood in front and told us that we use "AN" for Egg because it produces a living thing, and we should respect it.

He further told us that we use "AN" for umbrella because it is in the form of Canopy and it can cover so many people. Brethrens, na so I weak o.
It took the efforts of my parents to make corrections on that for me telling me we use An for vowel sounds as I changed school immediately. They reminded me recently and I couldn't help but laugh

I hv been told that the earth is spherical..

Its a big lie.. ..
If earth is spherical as they say, WHY DONT WE LOOSE BALANCE OR FALL OFF THE EDGE?

Was also told the earth rotate which causes day and night.

Why dont we notice the minute movement, me wey dey one place for office why earth never rotate me move go canteen?

But it is defined as the force of attraction acting towards the centre of the earth you know. Right?

And I am not understanding, if a white man makes a mistake it's no problem?
gravitation is due to the curvature of spacetime in the presence of matter and energy.

u ar giving d reason for gravity and not the definition. if space is curved and as a result there is no pulling force on any object in it ( i.e space), d object will be in a fixed position being almost totally static just like the sun which does not add up in science because every object in motion is as a result of d action of force(s)

okay, gravitation is not a force because due to the curvature of spacetime in the presence of matter and energy, all bodies move with the same acceleration during the so called free fall. The curvature of spacetime is leading you in a particular direction at the same acceleration (the magnitude of which depends on the large body in question) it will for any other object regardless of the mass. During free fall in vacuum, you don't feel your weight. The idea that gravitation is a force is newtonian which has been dethroned by relativity.

In space, small bodies are influenced by large bodies because large bodies curve space more than small bodies. That is why small bodies revolve around large bodies but never will a large body revolve around a small body. That is why instead of space time curving around you to attract the earth, the earth, being far larger, curve space grately and attracts you to it. The larger the body, the greater the curvature of space. This is the idea of general relativity, a theory that has been verified experimentally.

General relativity is the best theory of gravity in the world. I personally believe the theory is true but people want to verify experimentally before they fully accept. The postulate of gravitational waves by general relativity was found to be true in 2015. Black holes has been verified. The bending of light around the sun and the extent to which it bends as provided by general relativity was proved to be correct. What more do you want? Even the perihelion shift in the orbit of Mercury was accounted for perfectly by general relativity---- something newton's law of gravity was unable to account for.

Concerning the question of which is moving, if a single body was alone in the universe, it will remain in its position ie. static in space. All you have is a static body with space curved around it. If a much smaller body were to be introduced in its vicinity, the small body will be influenced by the curved space around the large body and a movement of the smaller body will occur.

I know of d black hole and gravitational waves discovery as postulated by general relativity theory. dey open a new sphere into d physics science esp as to celestial bodies...

if d black hole is d worm hole, time bcoms an orphan.


in other words, if d larger body is removed, d smaller body bcoms static??

if d ansa is yes, is d curved spactime, d larger object or even both of dem not exerting an influence dat makes d smaller object move??
