Re: What is gravity?

Gravity is geometry; it is bent space, objects follow its curves, this is gravity. It is not a force; it is the terrain of space.
You are describing what seems to be the status of "local" reality (what physicist David Bohm calls the "Explicate Order," and what Kant would call the "phenomenal realm").popeye1945 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 30, 2025 9:14 am Gravity is geometry; it is bent space, objects follow its curves, this is gravity.

Furthermore, there apparently is no "geometry," or "space," or recognizable "objects" at the "non-local" level of reality (what Bohm calls the "Implicate Order," and what Kant would surely recognize as being his "noumenal realm").
No, it is theorized that everything at the deepest level of what we call "material reality"...
(again, Bohm's Implicate Order and Kant's noumenal realm)
...exists in a seamless and interpenetrating (entangled) state of "oneness" in which the correlated patterns (or fields) of information that underpin the construction of our phenomenal realm of experienceable geometry, space, and 3-D objects,...
...seems to loosely resemble the entangled state of the informational underpinning of a laser hologram.
Indeed, Bohm even referred to the Implicate Order as the "Holomovement," due to the dynamic (moving/changing) nature of the underlying patterns of information that correspond with all of the dynamic processes we experience up here in the Explicate Order.
