So I know that we can not explain why objects with mass attract other objects with mass but what is the current theory,I mean how science explains it?
Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other. It is what keeps planets in orbit around the sun and what causes objects to fall to the ground when dropped.
Gravity is a fundamental force of nature and is a result of the curvature of space and time caused by the presence of mass or energy. The more mass or energy an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull.
The concept of gravity was first described by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century. He observed the gravitational force between objects and developed the law of universal gravitation, which states that every mass in the universe attracts every other mass with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Yes, Einstein's theory of relativity provides a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of gravity. It explains gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass or energy.
No, the strength of gravity can vary depending on the mass and distance between objects. For example, the force of gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on Earth. Additionally, Einstein's theory of relativity suggests that gravity can also be affected by the presence of massive objects, such as black holes.
