Gravity

In old ancient days, gravity was undefined, and every theory was challenged by the next not-so-smart one. But what do you do when the apple has already fallen and you simply cannot defy the final verdict. What if, gravity is actually the opposite of gravity, it’s not pulling the apple towards the ground, the sky is pushing it away and everything placed on this planet is in its perfect equilibrium.

After centuries of scientific evolution, gravity today is defined as follows: A natural phenomenon by which objects with mass attract one another.

Put aside the, of inverse-square law, the equivalence principle, the quantum gravity and relativity, relatively speaking, gravity is a definition of the relationship of a rock to the moon. However, that definition is somewhat solid, even though one cannot be in the place of a rock to know what it is, and one cannot be the earth, the sun, the starts, and the moon to explain what they feel.

It has already taken centuries and perhaps millenniums to figure out that the earth is attracted to the sun and goes around in semi-circles (thank you AGORA). We, humans, regardless of our uncertainties about the universe surrounding us, somehow are very certain about feelings and relationships towards the rest of mankind. One is sweet, one is racist, one is huge, and one is shameless… etc. but these definitions and variable and like any other theory, is either proven right or proven wrong.

But why is it that we need to define everything going on? Why does a person need to know that this moment is happy, next one is sad, his heart is broken, and that girl is bad? It’s all a matter of trying to understand what needs not to be understood.

ARE WE RELATIVE

If gravity theories are applied to us humans, since we are walking masses and are part of this universe, then perhaps everything we experience is just a scientific theory and it is just a matter of time until it is proven correctly. We are relative to one another, we are defined, and we even have ‘chemistry’.
