minus-squarewebghost0101@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoGravity is becoming almost a personal vice for me, and i know i am risking to be seen as ridiculous for even saying so. Supposedly its one if the fundamental forces, but fundamental in this context means forces not reducable to more “basic” interactions. But we already know that gravity is caused by curvatures in spacetime. Which we believe are caused by mass. “Spacetime” is not classified as a fundamental force. I have personally (internally) started to use the term “gravity effect” because it fits my own model of the universe much better. My own model of the universe is by all accounts some dumb ape bs, but as i am coming to terms with, so is most of established human knowledge. I have real fears of one day finding myself on the side of science deniers, but a freaking love science…
