How about we just say "gravity is gravity" and call it a day? :wink:

God is the universe; the universe is God.

Gravity never ceases to amuse.

I am not religious. I am what I guess you could call a spirtualist / atheist who holds a lot in common with buddhism

to me the universe is like god, but i would not use that term. i would say that the universe is a vast ocean of energy that we are all drawing and transmitting energy from. :)

gravity is a part of that mixture.

quantifying would be awesome and would not affected my philosophy

If God = Universe then why have two terms?

If gravity is god, then it follows that god is about 10^42 times weaker than electromagnetism. It therefore follows that Magneto is the one we should be praying to.

Why not? :D

Would it not be okay to say, regardless of religion, that God exists as an embodiment of the entire living and nonliving world?

P.S. I am an agnostic, so naturally, I have some wacky opinions.

Gravity waves are interesting someone should have started it in own thread
As to gravity being God Most seem to have missed my point.
If God exists for our universe God would have been here first at the greation and last at the end The religious insistence is that god is creator of ,different from ,or greater than the universe
In the closed view of the universe I proposed gravity would met that criteria

The comments from the posters with physics knowledge seem to contradict my understanding. The event horizon of a black hole is not the surface of a body its the point where gravity is greater than C ie NOT IN OUR UNIVERSE
if gravity is just a bend in space time how can this happen?
how can u get dark body radiation from this horizon?
if u shone a torch from a point just inside this horizon the light would be at C then ?

There is a theory about our universere is inside a blackhole or a kvasar(which is a huge black hole).

Saw a documentary on NatGeoTV once and it was really fascinating, they also told that there should be millions of other civilizations out there.

I really love science, it's one of my obsessions :D

There is no evidence to support that hypothesis.
