[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6052935, member: 6696971"] I'll need to read through your post in full and re-parse it before I respond for us to get any use out of this. I think the best way forward is to make sure that we're speaking the same language such that we can reconcile the nuance of our various positions. As of now, I'm uncertain if we're even talking about some of the same things. I think we might be but I'm not sure. I've got plenty going on in the next few days so it will be a bit before I post. However, I did want to comment right quick on the above because it is straight forward and something focused and clear. We do know the "why" of gravitational attraction as Einstein in-filled the missing parts of Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation with his Theory of Relativity. Gravitational attraction (beyond the quantum level) is due to energy and momentum distorting spacetime thus causing all particles in the vicinity of that curvature to move in accords with its geometry. Eg; the Earth is falling toward the sun (due to the massive curvature of spacetime imposed by its mass) but due to its equilibrating tangential velocity it continues "falling around" the sun indefinitely rather than shooting off into space or "falling into" the sun. My guess is that you knew this and probably meant something else regarding the "why" of gravitational attraction. I'll get to your post over the weekend. I think I might use the "how" and "why" format that you've proposed here. It might be illuminating. I definitely want to square away jargon to make sure we're using it in the same way. Thank you again for your efforts. Your posts have been very good. [/QUOTE]
