Not to get too off topic; but Gravity can not be easily explained. The explanation that you offer cites only the effect that Gravity has on mass. What the force of Gravity is (the “pull”) - or how it is generated, is a mystery to Science. ---

Gravity is the bending of spacetime around a object with mass. Since objects always travel along the shortest path, it will “bend” around a object of considerably higher mass, light is even bent this way. An object so heavy it literally punches a hole in “spacetime” is a black hole. Or so theory goes. So yeah the physical and chemical properties of our universe and theories about it (like String Theory!) are definitely up there. Hmm I noticed no one has said “boys/men.” Haha. Morality/religion/absolute truths. ---

Gravity has no explanation. Current particle physicists are attempting to find the Gravitron. This is the particle that enables gravity. Just as other particles like electrons are what make up electricity or photons for light. If gravity had an explanation, we would have Grand Unification Theory and it would be a happy land. ---

I like this thread. I’ll contribute only one becasue I’m tired and don’t want to explain three… Time Travel: Okay kids, lets travel three seconds back in time. Not that big of a deal, right? Wrong. In your journey through time, you have remained still in your reference frame. Meanwhile, during those three seconds, the Earth has been rotating under your feet. You’re not where you were “three” seconds ago. But wait, there’s more! The Earth rotates on it’s axis, while rotating around the sun, while the sun rotates inside our galaxy, while our galaxy mingles in our galactic neighborhood which is careening through space! We aren’t even considering the infentismal wobble casued by our moon! Go back three seconds in time and you’ll most likely end up suffocating in space thousands of miles away from earth. It’s not a tough topic to describe why it WOULDN’T work, but it is hard to think about how we could make it work. And that’s why it WON’T work. ---

You are basically falling out of existence in one point in time and appearing (in our case) three seconds into the future. Lets say we are stanging in front of a brick wall, and when we reappear three seconds later we are behind it. We won’t actually impact the wall becasue 1) we technically didn’t have any velocity, and 2) we technically didn’t exist in the three seconds it took for the brick wall to pass by our location. Making sense? Also, really the only way we could mess with the ray called “time” we would have to isolate ourselves from all other dimensions. The four dimensions in question are X, Y, Z, and T. There are considered to be more dimensions but I’m only going to focus on the ones humans can percieve. The universe is expanding in all 3 directional dimensions (XYZ) and is “traveling” on a ray called ‘T’, starting at the origin (0,0) and continuing forever towards (0,∞). We would need to isolate ourselves from the movement of XYZ in our universe by traveling through space in the exact opposite direction the universe is expanding. This would make us essentially standing still in terms of existance, but compared to the universe we would be moving. Only once we are isolated in the other three dimensions can we really begin to mess with T, becasue TECHNICALLY we would wind up in the same place, even though the universe has moved. Now keep in mind, in order to isolate ourselves, we have been rocketing away from Earth at an incredible velocity. It only really makes sense to travel into the past becasue we would pop up closer to the Earth (which presumably is where we want to go…). We wouldn’t want to travel to a point in time where the Earth is where we are when we blip, becasue that would be VERY bad (and very hot, not to mention very dead), but we could travel to anytime in the past when we would wind up between where we blipped and where the Earth is, and prehaps a little bit farther if we don’t mind traveling a bit to get back to Earth. All in all, very very very annoying.
