What is gravity?

[Lancer]

I've heard of gravitons, have they ever been detected?

Gravitons are emitted from everything which has mass to pull on everything else that has mass, yes? So my cup of hot chocolate is having some small interaction with everything else in the universe, yes? What is that, an extra dimentional thing?

What is gravity?

Gravity is what makes a frog whomp his ass when he hops.

[Lancer]

The French did that when they took his legs.

[SlowwHand]

Po Frenchy. He don't have his legs no mo.

Lancer, i'm sure the HLC will tell us. Have they anything interesting to show yet?

[Jon Miller]

Gravitons haven't been detected yet. Physicists are much more divided about their existence than on the existence of the Higgs (which pretty much everyone would bet on as a sure thing).

I have a strong doubt that the LHC will be able to tell us. Also, we don't expect any results from the LHC for another 2ish years. And that will be early preliminary results.

To note, my experiment ran early in 2006 and we just started getting preliminary results last year (and it is a lot less complicated than the LHC experiments).

Thanks for the info JM.

Frosty, the LHC is seriously broke, the poor thing. It won't be able to destroy the world for a while yet.

huh? I didn't read that news. What happened to it? Who broke it? Fire him! What if God broke it?

Almost surely had something to do with KH getting really drunk...

What is the correlation between gravity and age?

[Lazerus]

Gravity is weird, such a weak force on a galactic scale, i remember reading odd theories that's a cross over from other dimensions and random things like that.

[Donegeal]

What is the speed of Gravity? (should probably give him a ticket)

[Q Classic]

Gravity's a fraud perpetrated by the establishment and the entrenched Newtonian movements. It goes against the very notion of God and Intelligent Falling.

Actually, on a galactic scale, gravity is very strong because the other forces don't propagate well over long distances. That's why galaxies and stars and the like are able to form. On the smaller scale, the strong nuclear force and electromagnetism are much more relevant (and powerful).

Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe.

Einstein spent the last several years of his life trying to unify them with an explanation of a single theory of force. He coudn't do it.
