“gravitation”
.
*all ‘physical bodies’ attract each other*
(but why?)
.
[‘gravity’ is a ‘natural phenomenon’ by which all things with ‘mass’ are brought towards (or ‘gravitate’ towards) one another including…]
‘stars’
‘planets’
‘galaxies’
‘light’
‘sub-atomic particles’
.
(‘gravity’ is responsible for the ‘complexity in the ‘universe’, by creating spheres of ‘hydrogen’ — where hydrogen ‘fuses’ under ‘pressure’ to form ‘stars’ — and grouping them into ‘galaxies’)
(without ‘gravity’, the ‘universe’ would be an uncomplicated one, existing without ‘thermal energy’ and composed only of ‘equally spaced particles’)
(aka “heat death”)
(on ‘earth’, ‘gravity’ gives ‘weight’ to physical objects and causes the ‘tides’)
(‘gravity’ has an ‘infinite range’, and it cannot be ‘absorbed’, ‘transformed’, or ‘shielded against’)
(‘gravity’ is most accurately described by the ‘general theory of relativity’ (proposed by ‘albert einstein’ in ‘1915’) which describes ‘gravity’, not as a ‘force’, but as a consequence of the ‘curvature’ of ‘spacetime’ caused by the uneven distribution of ‘mass’ / ‘energy’; and resulting in ‘time dilation’, where ‘time’ lapses more ‘slowly’ in ‘strong gravitation’)
(however, for most applications, ‘gravity’ is ‘well approximated’ by newton’s law of ‘universal gravitation’, which postulates that ‘gravity’ is a force where 2 bodies of mass are directly drawn (or ‘attracted’) to each other according to a ‘mathematical relationship’, where the ‘attractive force’ is ‘proportional’ to the ‘product of their masses’ and ‘inversely proportional’ to the ‘square of the distance between them’)
(this is considered to occur over an ‘infinite range’, such that all ‘bodies’ (with ‘mass’) in the ‘universe’ are drawn to each other no matter how far they are apart)
(‘gravity’ is the weakest of the 4 fundamental interactions of nature)
(the ‘gravitational attraction’ is approximately 10−38 times the strength of the “strong force” (i.e. ‘gravity’ is 38 orders of magnitude weaker), 10−36 times the strength of the ‘electromagnetic force’, and 10−29 times the strength of the ‘weak force’)
(as a consequence, ‘gravity’ has a negligible influence on the behavior of ‘subatomic particles’, and plays no role in determining the internal properties of ‘everyday matter’ (but see ‘quantum gravity’))
(on the other hand, ‘gravity’ is the ‘dominant force’ at the ‘macroscopic scale’, that is the cause of the ‘formation’, ‘shape’, and ‘trajectory’ (aka ‘orbit’) of ‘astronomical bodies’, including those of ‘asteroids’, ‘comets’, ‘planets’, ‘stars’, and ‘galaxies’)
(it is responsible for causing the ‘earth’ and the other planets to orbit the ‘sun’; for causing the ‘moon’ to orbit the ‘earth’; for the formation of ‘tides’; for ‘natural convection’, by which ‘fluid flow’ occurs under the influence of a ‘density gradient’ and ‘gravity’; for ‘heating’ the ‘interiors’ of forming ‘stars’ and ‘planets’ to ‘very high temperatures’; for ‘solar system’, ‘galaxy’, ‘stellar formation and evolution’; and for various other ‘phenomena’ observed on ‘earth’ and throughout the ‘universe’)
.
(in pursuit of a ‘theory of everything’, the merging of ‘general relativity’ + ‘quantum mechanics’ (or ‘quantum field theory’) into a more general theory of ‘quantum gravity’ has become an area of ‘research’)
