RE: Albert Einstein - the Universe and Physics #5
I missed you there, could you explain me a bit what you mean with the assertion that gravity is not an independent force? Let's recap a bit, gravity sort off accounts for the effect that a massive object has into it's surrounding space, is it not? Then, gravity expresses itself as how much can a certain mass bend the space in it's vicinity... but then, the mass of an object has to increase the fastest it moves, then as an object moves faster it also bends more the space surrounding him?
Right, it is not independent and it depends on the space and the object how the gravitation behaves. the smaller the space in which an object is located, the more or less gravity affects it, of course it also depends on the size and mass of the object. If we have an unimaginable big/wide open space and only one football, then this football will not really bend the space. But if the space is as big as the loading area of a pickup, then the graviation/gravity of the football will bend the space on the loading area of the pickup more clearly.
Got it 😊 Thank you for clarifying it.
