Thoughts
Einstein thought
that gravity was created by the curvature
of space and time,
that, like a blanket curved around the planets
keeping us down on the planet
yet that does not make sense
because then gravity would be
isolated to just each individual planet
The earth's gravity would have no effect on the moon
the sun's gravity would have no effect the earth
Instead, I think that gravity must be created
by the atom
Atoms are attracted to each other
two hydrogen atoms
link with one oxygen atom to create water
Three oxygen atoms link together to make ozone
Atoms come together to create molecules
everything is made up of atoms
perhaps gravity is simply
Atoms are attracted to atoms
Matter, attracted to matter
so the matter of the sun
pulls pools the earth towards the sun
the matter of the moon creates gravity creating ocean tides
Scientists in the documentary
the edge of the known universe
say that dark matter and dark energy
create an opposing force against gravity
yet to me, space is the absence of everything
It's the proverbial nothing, a vacuum the void of space
if you suck the oxygen out of a bottle
you create a vacuum
If space is the proverbial nothing
then could not the vacuum of space
be the opposing force that is pulling
against the attraction of gravity
Then the opposing forces would be
the sun's gravity, pulling the planet toward the sun
Earth gravity pulling the moon toward us
but the vacuum of space pulling everything away
