So this friend of mine (who will be laughing because I began this sentance with a 'so', if he ever reads this) challenged me to come up with a proof that gravity did not exist. He already had a (dysfuntional) proof for this.
He claims space is doubling itself every second. (He was referring to the expansion of the universe). Therefore, when anything goes up, it does not come down, but the space between them decreases and therefore, they are brought together again. He was confused between space and space, which I agree, is a pretty easy thing to get confused over, and to crack a stupid joke to celebrate the stupidity of it, especially if there is a lot of empty space. The empty space didn't seem to get that empty space too would expand, and again, this was probably due to the emptiness. (Hey cool, now it works both ways, and the thing is turing into an unintentional double entendre).
There was, obviously, a teensy weensy thing called a solar system, which wouldn't exist. Or light getting sucked into a black hole. Or galaxies acting as lenses. Or rockets using the gravity as a catapult, or the comets going round the sun. In fact, it couldn't explain a hell lot more. Now the task remained to find something that could explain a hell lot of phenomenon, and still contradict that "fact" of gravity.
There has been existance for a long time, a simple proof based on thermodynamics. Actually, on the law of conservation of mass and energy. Work cannot be done without force, and force cannot be generated without energy. This means that acceleration caused due to gravity is technically generating work without energy. Work is done without any source of energy, and therefore it is contradicting the law of conservation of energy, which is what is keeping the universe somewhat same. This means either gravity exists or the law of conservation of energy.
People with no empty spaces will note the fact that anything with mass has inherent energy... and inertial jerks that everyone expiriences in a vehicle drive is proof of this. Although a better proof that gravity does not exist, this again, is at least, a better one, and is likely to fool more people. At least those with more empty spaces.
The ultimate proof is the cheapass, easy way out... the simple but absolute proof that nothing exists, that everything is a figment of YOUR fucking imagination, and therefore, nothing exists save your imagination, and that is also, a maybe. It's all relative. To you.
This again, can be refuted with a simple thing. That it does not matter. As long as you don't kill yourself or are never surprised by anything that happens around you, as long as there is something unexpected (take a green giraffe for example), (or even something expected, like gravity), even if everything is a figment of YOUR sub or un or meta conscious imagination, it does not matter. It is a world around you that is behaving in a specefic manner, and whether you want it or not (try NOT wanting it for proof), it will continue to behave in the manner of newtons firs't law. (Aka every particle attracts every other particle... (makes sense to end it at this point, no?))
Another ultimate proof (sort of contradictory?) would be to say that it is a figment of someone's imagination, not yours. But nonetheless, that controlling authority is imagining it for you. Same argument as above. As long as a coherent set of rules are being followed in your interaction with the cosmos, and bits of the cosmos with each other, they can said to be true, as long as you are concerned. See, relativeness works both ways.
So the search continues... until you come across a Tantra tee that reads "Gravity does not exist... earth sucks."
Maybe this should have gone in the other blog.
