Is Gravity the math formula, Fg=Gm1m2d2? Most likely, and yet, to a lot of people don’t know that unless they Ecosia it; like I had to do. I want to describe gravity in simpler terms, which might raise the current models for the formulas. I’ll try to be as short as I can.

First, and briefly, I’ll explain the birth of gravity. After a sun explodes, the energy and dust remaining floats free until the smallest particles attract each other through their own magnetic field. Some attract and some are either neutral or repelled. The most matter that collects, the larger the object becomes. All elements can be found in the dust and over time, they become large enough for us to see them as celestial bodies. These bodies can rank from plain rocks, to varying sized meteors, to planetoids, planets, gas giants and even the main event itself, a star. Some gas nebulas are primarily sun incubators.

So, what is gravity? Gravity starts as attracting particles that become something larger. It doesn’t simply end there. The collected particles of metals and gasses form into said rocks which attract other material and magnetically charged rocks. These form into larger asteroids, meteors and so on until the collection becomes heavy enough to stop floating through the developing solar system; pulled in many directions as other planetoids form. With enough material weight, the middle of the object becomes…

A catch-all topic based channel without restraint. I’m about shedding light through the fog using compare & contrast, mixed with reasoning, and personal views.
