Newton's universal law of gravity

@Scivf4 I've posed these questions, but none have yet responded, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to reason it out. If gravity is mass warping space time, the effect is omni directional, correct? If the effect is omni directional, why do we observe orbits on a plane?

@Scivf4 Gravity is far too weak at this scale to be observed that way! 😅

@Scivf4 To verify it's gravity, the spheres should be connected electrically to rule out an electric charge difference.

@Scivf4 @grok how big is the force in the experiment?

@Scivf4 this is Cavendish's experiment using a torsion balance to determine the value of the gravitational constant. yes, it works. he got the correct answer [but in terms of other constants] to within 5%. at the end of the 18th century!

@Scivf4 Unlikely to be showing gravitational effectsz What may be happening is that the suspended balls are remaining approximately fixed in inertial space while the surface beneath them rotates, so their direction only appears to change relative to the plate. 1/3

@Scivf4 @JohannTetzel6 This is a good way to help get a sense of scale. I always thought gravity was so weak you couldn't do anything reasonable to measure it/see its effect at the smallish scale. But, you can see it.

@Scivf4 This is definitely not a gravitational effect. Stop spreading BS!

@Scivf4 I have doubts the video above is honest (this is not an attack on the poster!). Here are a more convincing one: m.youtube.com/watch?v=70-_GB…

@Scivf4 A Soros-appointed judge nullified the Law claiming that Newton did not have the Constitutional authority to create it.

@Scivf4 example of the "weak force" of gravity?

@Scivf4 do i need to go all quantum on those who don't understand gravity? magnetism gravity & electricity are all connected. I'm not a warped space theory proponent. I'm a proponent of the quantum mass of energy, & "potential energy in mass". gravity is the lowest state of magnetism.

@Scivf4 My understanding is that gravity is by far the weakest force in the universe, indicated by the fact that the mass of the earth is unable to prevent an object from being lifted by a much tinier magnet --

@Scivf4 Gravity: The universal state of magnetism. Which is the solution to the big bang theory, Quantum mechanics and the mass energy time concept of relativity. our creation was flux as is our demise.

@Scivf4 Now calculate G from that.

@Scivf4 3/3 That would make it more closely analogous to a Foucault pendulum, where the pendulum’s swing plane stays nearly fixed while the Earth rotates beneath it, rather than a direct demonstration of mutual gravitational attraction between the spheres.

@Scivf4 What a A fake tha mass is not enough for gravuty effect eventually electrostacit

Free Cone Day is here! Come celebrate with us at a DQ location on today by getting a FREE small vanilla cone 🍦

@Scivf4 This should have been done in a vacuum to ensure the effects seen were not due to air movements

@Scivf4 Newton not only invented gravity, he also invented fig newtons.

@Scivf4 Should not really be called universal since it fails as soon as there are relativistic effects.

@Scivf4 Cavendish

@Scivf4 Using this someone calculated the gravitational constant like 200 years ago or was it 300?

@Scivf4 That’s amazing, I’ve never seen that done before!!😬

@Scivf4 That's not from gravity. It's from warpage of space-time ;)

@Scivf4 It's fake video. Real experiment is MUCH harder to implement

@Scivf4 When you consider the time period, the Cavendish experiment was thoroughly brilliant.

It’s time to dance! Get it on tournament action with Bonus Bets from FanDuel.

@Scivf4 The Cavendish balance allows the calculation of the gravitational constant (G); just don't try detecting gravitational waves with the apparatus.

@Scivf4 Cavendish Experiment .... A Classic

@Scivf4 Are m1, m2 and r big enough to counteract tiny value of G here?

@Scivf4 Cavendish experiment.

@Scivf4 The gravity force is on the order of 0.1 micrograms It would take days to close that distance.

@Scivf4 Why is the video cut just ass the balls approach one another? A crucial point is observing the persistent attraction, is it not?

@Scivf4 The froce of gravity btw a 6 kg lead sphere and another of 50 grams is about 1.7 EXP(-10) N. 0.00000000017 Newtons. If the spheres were made of Osmium (the heaviest metal), the attraction force would rise up to 4.41 EXP(-10). Nice experiment, but clearly unreal.

@Scivf4 The Universal Law of Attraction. Nothing spinning. No observable forces. Just 2 like things, drawn to one another. Maybe that's all gravity is? We are of the earth and therefore drawn to it... until it consumes us.

@Scivf4 please stop posting these misleading videos, you're NOT doing a favour to science.

@Scivf4 If photons are without mass but behave as if they have mass then we have an issue. But then photons behave as particles as well as waves - oh my
