Thanks.

here's a theory for you:

Go to school in Physics.. call me in 3 years. We'll chat.

can't believe I once thought objects could generate a gravitational pull on other objects the strength of which was determined by their mass...


guys I am soooooooo embarrassed....

no you don't get it.

just because it's on reddit means it's not accurate information? correct?

sorry i must have missed the memo.

also i'm right so i don't know what you're trying to prove. marty saying gravity is not a theory. it is a theory. and a law.

(frank) off. i win.

Go on.

La gravité de la situation est alarmante.

guys, a theory can be very real. in scientific terms something is a theory as long as it is not reproduceable in laboratory settings or on a regular basis. This is why evolution is a theory and not a law.


you can drop an Apples (lol) on someone's head a billion times over and the Apples (lol) will fall down to the floor every single time. It will never fall up to the ceiling thus gravity is demonstrable and irrefutable and therefore "a law"

since you cannot reproduce evolution in a lab or on a regular enough basis, it is nominally a theory.

it doesn't mean that there is not a huge body of evidence to support it and that arguing against it is probably a scientific dead end.


edit: gawsh you guys....

yes dan i am not arguing against gravity or evolution. i am saying that by definition, gravity is a law AND theory.

some sources will say it's either one, some will say it's both.

this is a new lowpoint for the nud #newlowpoint

you're missing the point. i am not saying gravity is believable or not. of course it is. we live it every single day. gravity is a fact.

but scientifically speaking, not all parts of gravity are understood, therefore it remains a theory. the parts we do understand using math and physics are law. but that's not everything about it.

that is all.

lol i think you're joking but if you're not, that's not what i am saying. i am not saying that gravity is "anyone's guess". until you understand something 100% it can still be disproved, thus gravity still being a theory. now, of course we all believe and acknowledge gravity and the way it works on earth. (what goes up must come down, objects fall down, not up or sideways, yeah we know that). but there are things about it they do not know yet. or may never know.

that's it.

i was slightly wrong. law is a theory. law is just older terminology. gravity is still a theory. so is evolution.

GRavity is a law.

The why it exist is a theory

HYPOTHESES are proposed explanations for the causes of phenomena (they are NOT "educated guesses" about what will happen---those are called "predictions"). These explanations must be objective. They must either be testable by experimentation or make predictions that can be tested. They must be open to potential refutation and revision.

THEORIES are hypotheses that have been so thoroughly tested and confirmed (through experiments designed to disprove them) and so well established that new evidence is not likely to contradict them. The difference between a theory and a hypothesis is the (very large) degree of confidence we have in its validity and power to explain. When someone says: "It's only a theory" they are most likely using the word colloquially and not scientifically. Theories are very powerful explanations that have withstood repeated attempts to dispove them. Nevertheless, theories are still proposed explanations, and all the criteria for a scientific hypothesis still apply.

LAWS are statements that describe invariable behavior of things in the natural world. Laws are like predictions that have been confirmed with such uniformity that their contradiction would seem miraculous until new theories are produced to explain the deviation. Laws are usually very succinct and can often be expressed mathematically. Laws are not proposed explanations like hypotheses and theories, but they must still be objective and open to potential refutation.

Okay, thanks, I had to do that.

Now, as for gravity, there is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation that describes the attraction between all bodies with mass (see below), and there is Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which explains gravity and, in fact, supercedes the Law of Universal Gravitation in it's scope.

So there is a Law of Gravity, and there is a theory that explains it.





Sorry for the longact post.

I am gravity.

you're right marty. but so am i. we're both right.

the initial post was to poke some fun at creationists. obviously that didn't work.
