Teempakguy:
you're not getting me at all, are you? okay, let me type this is upper case for clearer empahsis. BOTH STATEMENTS ARE CORRECT. the first is the result, and the second is the method. meanwhile, gravity doesn't curve spacetime, gravity IS the curvature. instead, matter curves spacetime. this curve, called gravity then causes all other mass in the vicinity to be attracted to each other. lobatan.

another example is electromagnetism. which works by transfer of protons. you can't say something like: "oh, so the way electromagnetism works is not by unlike poles being attracted, but an exchange of photons." duh,
pleas enlighten me more. How does the presence of matter curve space? I want to know how?

Teempakguy:
no, I did NOT say that things will be floating around in space. I clearly added quotation marks the only time I did mention it to signify that the 'floating' was just a false interpretation of what is happening. objects in space do not float. they do only three things;

1. remain stationary
2. move in a straight line
3. accelerate in the direction of an interacting force.

*note that sometimes they rotate around a fixed point. but that's beside the point. we're speaking in terms of translatory motion.

*note also the bolded word. it is key to everything.

if any object is not displaying either 1 or 2, but instead three, then a force is involved. however, if it is doing either 1 or 2, that means there is no force. so, yo answer your question, objects "float" in space precisely because there is no force acting on them. so, your question of "which force is responsible" is absurd because the only reason they are even "floating" is because NO force is acting on them.


Secondly, forces come in different forms. forces are literally defined as "that which, when unopposed, tends to change the motion of a body in space"
so yeah, even a curvature in space qualifies as a force as long as it fits the definition. in short, gravity is a curvature of space. And it is also a force.


you're f****** welcome.
If I get you right, how force of gravity works is not about Mass is attracting mass over a distance. Instead, it's curving spacetime.

Teempakguy:
if there was no gravity, if you tried to lift a bag of cement, it would just go up forever unless you pulled it down. if you could get the bag to finally stop moving, it would remain suspended there forever. alternatively. you could just rotate the bag and it will rotate forever.

in fact, without gravity, there will be no up or down. the entire reason we can sense 'up' or 'down' is our senses and brain calculate our orientation in a gravitational field. without gravity, you wouldn't even know where up or down was. hence, carrying a bag of cement would be pointless for obvious reasons.
you said without gravity things would be floating around, what Force would be responsible for float of things? Second, is gravity a force or a curvature of space?

Science/TechnologyRe: Reasons Why We Know The Earth Is Round. by Dawdy(m): 1:18am On Feb 03, 2017
While the sails of the ship may still be visible while the hull is perceptively merged, it's only a matter of time before it too shrinks into the vanishing point which rests on the surface of the sea and becomes indiscernible from the surface.
We know that this explanation is true because there are reports of half sunken ships restored by looking at them through telescopes.
It has been found that the sinking ship effect effect is purely perceptual, that a good telescope with sufficient zoom will change the observer's perspective and bring the ship's hull back in full view. This is not possible if the ship were really behind a "hill of water." Hence, the effect which is usually thought to prove the earth as a globe really proves it to be a plane.
It's one of the first and primary proofs of a Flat Earth. The fact that a telescope can restore a half-sunken ship demonstrates that the ship is not traveling behind a convex earth.
In the chapter "Disappearance of ships at sea" of the book Zetetic Cosmogony by Thomas Winship we read a number of accounts where the hulls of half sunken ships have been restored by the aid of a telescope:
Science/TechnologyRe: Reasons Why We Know The Earth Is Round. by Dawdy(m): 1:09am On Feb 03, 2017
Ships appear to sink as they recede past the horizon
On the sinking ship, Rowbotham describes a mechanism by which the hull is hidden by the angular limits of perception - the ship will appear to intersect with the vanishing point and become lost to human perception as the hull's increasingly shallow path creates a tangent on which the hull is so close to the surface of the ocean that the two are indistinguishable. The ship's hull gets so close to the surface of the water as it recedes that they appear to merge together. Where bodies get so close together that they appear to merge is called the Vanishing Point. The Vanishing Point is created when the perspective lines are angled less than one minute of a degree. Hence, this effectively places the vanishing point a finite distance away from the observer.
Usually it is taught in art schools that the vanishing point is an infinite distance away from the observer, as so:


However, since man cannot perceive infinity due to human limitations, the perspective lines are modified and placed a finite distance away from the observer as so:


This finite distance to the vanishing point is what allows ships to shrink into horizon and disappear as their hulls intersect with the vanishing point from the bottom up. As the boat recedes into the distance its hull is gradually and perceptively appearing closer and closer to the surface of the sea. At a far off point the hull of the ship is so close to the sea's surface that it is impossible for the observer to tell ocean from hull.

One of heliocentrist’s favorite “proofs” of their ball-Earth theory is the ability for ships and planes to circumnavigate, to sail or fly at right angles to the North Pole and eventually return to their original location. Since the North Pole and Antarctica are covered in ice and guarded “no-fly” zones, however, no ships or planes have ever been known to circumnavigate the Earth in North/South directions, only East/West; And herein lies the rub, East or West-bound circumnavigation can just as easily be performed on a flat plane as it can a globular sphere. Just as a compass can place its center-point on a flat piece of paper and trace a circle either way around the “pole,” so can a ship or plane circumnavigate a flat-Earth. The only kind of circumnavigation which could not happen on a flat-Earth is North/South-bound, which is likely the very reason for the heavily-enforced flight restrictions. Flight restrictions originating from none other than the United Nations, the same United Nations which haughtily uses a flat-Earth map as its official logo and flag!

IslamQuran Answer To Those Who Say Muslims Should Fear Danald Trump by Dawdy(op): 11:53am On Nov 11, 2016
Quran 3:173- 177

3:173
Those to whom hypocrites said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allah , and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."

3:174

So they returned with favor from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them. And they pursued the pleasure of Allah , and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.

3:175

That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.

3:176

And do not be grieved, [O Muhammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allah at all. Allah intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.

3:177

Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allah at all, and for them is a painful punishment.
