You should get out more, Bob. Physicists have been forgetting about gravity since Newton.bobevenson wrote: That would be like telling a physicist to forget about gravity.
You're right, I forgot, I don't believe it's even mentioned in textbooks anymore.Obvious Leo wrote:Physicists have been forgetting about gravity since Newton.
Not if it can be avoided, mate. Gravity is a bit of an embarrassment to physicists because they don't know what it is so it's a lot easier to just look the other way and pretend it isn't happening rather than try to figure it out. Gravity is like the uncle who always drinks too much at Xmas.
