Title: Source of gravity?
Post by: OokieWonderslug on 25/08/2019 05:00:14

What do yall reckon about the idea that mass/gravitational energy is solely a byprouduct of velocity? Us and everything around us is going 500,000 miles per hour. The gravity we know comes from that velocity.  How right do ya figure that is?

Relative to what?

Not right at all. Right now, the Earth is at rest in my reference frame. It is still pulling on me with its gravity.

May I ask, where did you get that velocity figure from?   IF we could figure out our velocity, we MIGHT be able to get a REAL base length for a parallax measurement to a close star.

We have never had that length.
