: I really don't want to believe that gravity exists. Why? Well, In World History, we are watching the 100 most infuential people of the millenium past. #2 is Newton. I plan on tearing A&E's bang-up list to shreds online once I get some time. I would really like to hear some theories on other ways to explain what happens. Here are one's I've heard before:
:
: *The bowling ball on the matress, throw marbles in random spots around the matress. From above it looks as if the marbles are going towards the ball, but from a different perspective, it is revealed to be something else. I'm not sure what that something else is (gravity itself?), so if anyone understands that, let me know.
:
: *When we jump, the ground and we grow at a rate and we catch up to each other. I don't buy this one because I would be crushed within minutes of going in a room because of the rate at which everything grows, unless I misinterpreted it.
: That's it. If you have any explanations for those or other than those, please let me know. I don't want to hear about how thousands of experements supporting the existance of gravity prove it, just please e-mail me with any thoughts. Or just post on this thread. jzeichman@tc3net.com
