Newton had given the world a theory of gravity in the late 1600s that works well, describes the motion of planets, the motion of the moon and so forth, the motion of apocryphal of apples falling from trees, hitting people on the head.
But Einstein realized that Newton had left something out of the story, because even Newton had written that although he understood how to calculate the effect of gravity, he'd been unable to figure out how it really works.
So Einstein found that the medium that transmits gravity is space itself.
And that communicates the force of gravity.
That is this new idea about how gravity actually works.
Einstein had already used up space and time, warps and curves, to describe gravity.
And now string theory comes along and says, yes, gravity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see.
Think of the surface of a trampoline: it warps and stretches with gravity.
Atmospheric particles got enough energy to break free from the gravity of the planet, escaping away to space, never to return.
They get enough energy to escape and break free from the gravity of the planet just by warming.
We understood gravity; we understood aerodynamics.
Do we have all the laws that are analogous to gravity, that are analogous to aerodynamics?
Without gravity, molecules don’t separate by density and the flames have a totally different shape.
Well, a lot of people think jugglers defy gravity or do stuff.
At the center of every roller coaster design is gravity.
But as gravity affects the cars, it also affects the passengers.
One G force is the familiar tug of gravity you feel when standing on Earth – this is the force of Earth’s gravitational pull on our bodies.
Modern rides are also much sturdier, closely considering the amount of gravity they need to withstand.
We don't know, if you change the gravity substantially, if the same thing will happen to create your body.
The guessed explanation was gravity, the prediction that everything should fall to the Earth.
So did we discard gravity?
We revised the theory and said, gravity pulls things to the Earth unless there is an equal and opposite force in the other direction.
You can almost think of it as sort of like gravity.
We may need a two-step program, which is to invent new kinds of thinking that we can work alongside of to solve these really large problems, say, like dark energy or quantum gravity.
Then I would look at the stars, and I would read about how well we understand gravity, and I would think surely, there must be some elegant way that these two systems match up.
But one of these options is huge, and it has to do with that long-standing question that bothered me as a tiny little kid, about gravity.
I can briefly beat gravity when I jump, but I can't pick a proton out of my hand.
The strength of gravity compared to the other forces of nature?
It's almost as though most of gravity has gone missing.
What if the missing gravity is leaking into an extra-spatial dimension that's invisible to you and I? What if gravity is just as strong as the other forces if you were to view it in this extra-spatial dimension, and what you and I experience is a tiny slice of gravity make it seem very weak?
