"And there is the question again, what is gravity?"
In my studies of philosophy, for the most part, whenever you get deep into anything you end up asking yourself, "what is x anyhow?". I stopped worrying about finding 'necessary and sufficient' definitions, mostly cuz i couldn't find any, and started to think more pragmatically (a typical American story).
"Didn't the string theorists figure it out?"
They might have! I read Feyman's QED and pretty much gave up after that.
"Maybe the analogy is correct but, I don't think the web is the cause of gravity but a vision of a negligible side affect of what the "ether" looks like due to masses moving through it."
This might be referring to the graph paper/basket ball analogy. I didn't mean this to imply that space/time was the cause of gravity... it's more like the field that gravity is played on. And I'm no physicist! This is just the way I feel the universe to be from some stuff I've read. From my recollection, "ether" was a reference to an absolute space, where the photon's launched traveling on a train would move faster then the photons launched from a stationary position. I don't think general theory of relativity implies that space/time is the cause of gravity, mass still is. It's the basketball that is curving the paper.
"I think the electro-magnetic field is too geometrically large for us to detect and maybe so weak we can't detect it."
I know some people that have been hit with some seriously strong DC current that might have a contrary option.
"thank goodness someone is out there providing products to minimize our current impact on the environment - and why I joined this website."
I'm glad your here FD!
"How about this question. Are Gravity and molecular cohesion one and the same?"
As far as I know they are not, and that's been one of the big issues in physics for the last 100 years or so.
"It is this electromagnetic field bonding that creates the effect known as gravitational attraction."
Well I can sort of see this. If M1 has a mass of 1 and M2 has a mass of 2, and they are bonded via an electrical attraction, there combined mass would have a greater gravitational effect then if unbounded, but I don't see the causality- but I haven't studied the Hutchinson effect... maybe for tonights reading.
"It would seem possible that if a person could find a way to collect the frequency energy being produced by mass then transmit the gravitational energy, we would have an unlimited supply of energy potential to draw form."
Any particle that has mass has a gravitational force. If we interpret the Heisenberg uncertainty principle literately, then the gravitational effect of an object changes as we observe it's velocity. If we can harness a very small amount of matter's gravitational energy, and manipulate its position via observation, then we can create energy via differing wave positions. Peek-a-boo energy.
"However, if resonance effect is not controlled the result would be a catastrophic breakdown of sub atomic and molecular cohesion starting a cascade chain reaction effect."
Hail Eris!
"What do we need with all of this energy anyway?"
I love my iphone.
But for real, we are in a fight against thermodynamics. Life seems to oppose disorder as much as it can. If we're on a fight for life, then were on a fight for energy. Living requires consumption of energy, and that is not a bad thing at all.
