Im speaking relatively naturally.
The whole physics debate in the other thread (as petty and bickery as it may be) made me feel like people might enjoy this debate.
First of all, in case you disagree, go find a magnet and get it to pick up a needle. That magnet just wtfpwnd the entire planets gravitational pull.
And yes, i mean the weakest force we know of, naturally, it would be sorta silly to debate things we have no ****ing clue about.
There is a BBC Horizon docu about it titled "Whats wrong with Gravity?" (great series btw, i also reccomend their episode Human 2.0) which you can go watch in case this interests you and you want to hear what the expoirts say about it.
I wont link you because of the foram rools, but its probably on any of the TV streaming sites you pirates use daily, at least it was on STC when i first saw it.
Anyhow, the theory is that the gravity we experience is some sort of spill from another universe which is adjacent to ours, and in their universe they have "real" gravity.
Lets see what you nutjobs turn this thread into.
EDIT: Yes i realize i should have said "Universe" in the title, not "Multiverse". I guess im too fond of the word.
it all depends on how you compare. yes the gravity force here on earth is fairly weak but compare gravity in a black hole and your not going to find anything stronger
Its beginning, my lols is beginning.
so why is it our gravity is the "spill" and not theirs/the other universe?
I thought this was common knowledge
I have returned
Gravity is acknowledged as the weakest force in the universe, true.
But why invoke a multiverse theory?
PS: I think there are some documentaries available for streaming from the BBC website directly. Not sure if that breaks the forum rules or not though.
PPS: Just checked the BBC UK website and they only have "highlights" of the show.

multiverse, LOL
...
Gravitrons are composed of closed strings, that pass freeley between different Branes and dimensions, thus being dissipated.
Most other strings are fixed to Branes, so their force carriers seem stronger.
That is all.
Or unless you hate unification and have a hardon for Einstein, Gravity is caused by the geometric indentations caused by mass in space-time. But this interpretation is not nearly as popular as String Theory and it's derivations.
Multiverse has NOTHING to do it with it.
I think I'll tryyyy defyyyying graaaaavity
there is no discussion, Gravity is the weakest force in the universe, its not up for debate, there is no yes no or maybe, out of the 4 forces, its the weakest, its fact.
Its Hammertime
a fun thing to think is that while humans have measured the power of gravity, there is no solid indication (I will not use proof as it is a non scientific term) of WHAT it really is. theaory has it in two forms as mentioned above. what I like to think is just how many things have we "Measured" and are just aware of it's effects but not WHAT it really is.
"We will be lonley and ignorant, but dominant..."-Krauss
we know exactly what gravity is, its the attraction created by an entity with mass, what we dont know is exactly how it happens.

i still think gravity is the strongest, while the others may be stonger in general the potential power of gravity is virtually unlimited
Wrong. gravity is the weakest but has the greatest RANGE.
And the "spill" that OT was talking about is graviton "leaking" into/out of our universe. Theoretical Physics is a very interesting field; multiverse, universes w/ different dimensions than ours.
if theoretically we created an object with the density of a black hole and the size of our entire galaxy the gravitational force would be unimaginable. in the crazy world of science you may call this range but i say its stronger
*sigh* Reon you don't know what you're talking about are you?
Strength and range are different concepts. The strength of a force is compared over the same range [ie if you wanted to compare the strength of gravitational force against electromagnetic forces you would need to compare the effects of each force over the same distances.]
On the other hand the range of a force is the distance over which the force acts and is still detectable.
And Ramon was referring to the range of action of gravity, which acts from one end of the universe on objects on the other end. That is what he means by greatest range.

thats gay, when you ask whats stronger an ant or an elephant? the correct answer is elephant. it isnt ant coz if it was the size of an elephant it would be stronger. science is gay
it wouldnt be the internet without
problem solved
Gravity is pretty damn strong if you fall off a building.
I've been here before almost all of you.
K suit yourself. The elephant is strong because it can lift heavy stuff, whereas the ant is strong because the stuff it lifts is proportionately heavier than itself. And scaled up, the ant is stronger than the elephant.. so the contradiction here is in terms of relative strength.

Debate it all you want, gravity IS the weakest force in the universe.
as for multiverse... I don't want to bother thinking about that.
I have returned
