Gravity Conclusion

Looking back I what I learned I am very happy. I learned plenty of information that I didn't know before while understanding it. I learned about spacetime and how gravity works. I learned about how curvatures form in space. I learned that there are places in space where there is no gravity at all. I lerned that the cosmic speed limit is the speed of light. I learned about quatum physics and how it works. I learned how time is the 4th dimension according to Einstein. I now understand why we orbit the sun in a circle. And that is just the start. In the beginning I only wanted to know why the mass of planets cause gravity; and now I have learned so much more. Although this is the end of my english blog, I intend to do more research on my topic as time goes on!

Gravity

Today I am finishing how the cosmic speed limit interfeared with Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. If in some instance the sun was to instantly disappear; according to Newton's theory the Earth would go instantly out of its orbit This counters the idea of light being the fastest because in this case the gravity holding Earth in orbit would disappear before sunlight. This is what led Einstein to study gravity.

Gravity

One interesting fact I found out about gravity is that gravity does have speed. It actuallly takes time for gravity to travel. Einstein did not really came into gravity until his theory of the cosmic speed limit was "invented". Isaac Newtons theory of gravity interfeared with Einstein's theory of a cosmic speed limit. I will try to look more in depth to this tommorow.

Gravity

A few days ago, I mentioned that the speed of light is the cosmic speed limit. Some scientists belive this is not true. Some belive that somewhere in space there are particles or atoms that travel faster than light such as tachyons and photons. I found this very interesting even though it does not relate too much with gravity.

Gravity

Today I learned something that has to do a little about gravity. I learned about the speed of light. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light because light has no mass. I found this interesting and tommorow I will look more into this topic.

Gravity

Today I answered my question of are there certain areas or places without gravity. The answer is yes. There is something in space called dark matter that some scientists say defys gravity or has no gravity at all. I found this very interesting.

Gravity

Today I learned even more information on the string theory. I figured out how and where the the strings are located in the atom. This explains how certian things work.

Gravity (Daily Reflection)

What did I do today?
Today I decided on my first focus question: which theory of gravity makes the most sense?

What problem,If any, did I have today?
Today I had a little difficulty understanding the facts about the string theory of gravity. I intend to look more into it before my presentation.

Something new you learned?
I did not learn anything new today.

New questions about my topic?
One of the new questions about my topic is how the strings in the string theory produce graviton, the causer of gravity.

People that helped me today?
Today Mrs. Marsden helped me figure out more information about spacetime.

What do I need to do next?
Next, I need to personally answer my burning questions and get a better understanding of the string theory.

Gravity

Today I figured out something key for my theory's of gravity. I figured out what spacetime is. It is basicly the matter or fabric of space itself. Now that I fully or mostly understand all three of my theories; tommorow I intend to start linking the information into my burning questions.

Gravity

Today I did a decent amount of research on the string theory. It is a theory about gravity and how other things in the universe are created. It goes that tiny strings inside of atoms that produce things such as electron and graviton. They produce these things by vibrating; similar to a viloin vibrating to make sound. What this has to do with gravity is that the strings produce graviton and where ever there is graviton there is gravity. I intend to look more into this string theory before applying it to my burning questions.

Gravity

Today I did some more research about how gravity works. I also discovered another theory about gravity called the string theory. Tommorow I will do some more research on this theory so I can apply it to my burning questions.

Gravity

Today I researched on more of the theories of how gravityworks. I understand how Isaac Newton thought it worked; that he thought it was a natural pull, but I wanted to see what other people people thought. I researched the views of Albert Einstein and read a few pages from a book on him. He says that gravity is not just a natural pull but a "indent" in the matter of space causing something similar to a bowling ball on a trampoline.
