[Physics] gravity is NOT a force

[carmam at tiscali.co.uk]

That is interesting and amusing Tufail, but it clouds the issue. Space IS literally nothing. Just like the space between atoms, but on a much larger scale. However, as there are molecules in space, perhaps it should be described as a very rarified gas. But how do you distort a gas?

Subj: Re: [Physics] gravity is NOT a force



Hello Tom,
You have nailed it. 
You are right, that if something is something like nothing, then it is impossible for it to distort. But, if what we have understood as nothing, is not actually nothing but something, then it may turn into something else or distort. 
What if,  that something (which distorts) is actually very close to something like nothing, Then if you add something else to that nothing, then it creates the illusion of distortion of nothing. But in actuality identity of nothing is still preserved despite illusion of something.
For example : if transparency = nothing then pure water  = nothing. If we add colour to this water, then it is no more transparent , so it becomes something. But instead of saying that it is now something,  we still prefer tobsay that nothing is now coloured. By the same logic possibly, we have declared that space is nothing and nothing is distorted.
Regards,
Tufail Abbas.

The effect of a mass is to distort the surrounding space-time continuum. This distortion is proportional to the linear distance from the center of the mass.
