    Gravity Theory
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the current understanding of gravity, particularly Einstein's Field Equation and its derivation. Participants seek clarity on the equations governing gravity, their validity, and the origins of gravitational force and its variations. The conversation highlights the need for accessible explanations of complex concepts, such as the proportionalities in gravity. Resources like GR texts and lectures by Sean Carroll are recommended for further exploration. Overall, the thread emphasizes the desire for a deeper understanding of gravity's fundamental principles.

How does it work, what are the equations, are they valid, from what matrix {}, if such, were they derived? And how high level are the physics?
Where does the force come from ie what direction has the vektors? What cause the variation in gravity that I have read about?

I read the first gravity part, just wondering, in plain english, where the proportionalities are derived from? Perhaps if you would do the thread the honor of through the circumstances themselves derivate G?

There are several GR texts on the web. Waner or t'Hooft for example. See the same Baez site for links:

There are also videos of 3 1-hour lectures by Sean Carroll.

UC Berkely, December 16, 2025 https://news.berkeley.edu/2025/12/16/whats-powering-these-mysterious-bright-blue-cosmic-flashes-astronomers-find-a-clue/ AT 2024wpp, a luminous fast blue optical transient, or LFBOT, is the bright blue spot at the upper right edge of its host galaxy, which is 1.1 billion light-years from Earth in (or near) a galaxy far, far away. Such objects are very bright (obiously) and very energetic. The article indicates that AT 2024wpp had a peak luminosity of 2-4 x...
