Gravity

Gravity, Gravity where for out thou Gravity what is Gravity an elusive mild force Scientists look for a Graviton a small theological subatomic particle that creates the slight force We know as gravity yet to my knowledge the graviton has never been found Einstein believed Gravity was created by the curvature of space and time that like a blanket wraps itself around the planet keeping us stable on the earth but if that was the case why would the moon's gravity affect the tides of the earth why would the suns gravity keep us in orbit around the sun I'm not as clever as Einstein yet it gravity was the curvature of space and time wouldn't each planet's gravity be limited to that planet only scientists must agree to a certain level because they look for the elusive graviton Yet the thought goes through my mind couldn't gravity be created by normal atoms atoms attract other atoms hydrogen links with oxygen to make water Hydrogen is the only atom without neutrons Hydrogen has only electrons and protons proton stay at the center of the atom the nucleus negatively charged electrons spin around the nucleus in what is called the valence energy level hydrogen has only one electron The first valence energy level requires two electrons to become full so hydrogen attracts another electron to become complete Oxygen has eight electrons the first valence energy level is full but the second valence energy level has only six electrons and requires eight so the oxygen atom needs to attract two electrons to fill its valence energy level two hydrogen atoms link with the oxygen atom sharing electrons to complete their valence energy levels and so we have water or H20 now what happens if there is just a mild attraction left after the atoms are linked could that mild attraction not be Gravity Could all matter, simply be attracted to matter that would explain why the earth's gravity is six times stronger than the moon the moon has six times less matter That would explain why we are in orbit around the sun because the matter of the sun attracts the earth towards the sun but the vacuum of space pulls us away from the sun I am not Einstein I am not a scientist and yet sometimes all you need is a kid To say "take the air out of the tires" to get the truck to go under the bridge" I'm not sure if I'm right it would be nice to know the truth
