I didn't say it was a very good thought - I just thought it was a decent thought exercise in terms of challenging first principles..

I read about this stuff and gravity still doesnt make real sense to me. When I drop something on the ground, like my cat for example, is something pushing or pulling it down?
Whenever I read about gravity it just talks about it being a natural force. Yeah I get that, but what exactly is it??

I think we don't know what gravity exactly is. They are looking into it, but have not found an explanation yet.
There are some theories about it, namely Newton's one and Einstein's one, but no ones knows where it really comes from.But it's something we experience everyday and we can describe by mathematics, and that's how we use it.
And btw, the cat you dropped is attracted by the earth, but also the earth is attracted by the cat, it's just the difference in mass that makes it look like only the cat is attracted to the earth.
- and to keep this on-topic, it doesn't require a belief system to accept the force of gravitymonospaced
- aka, gravity is not described by anything illogical or supernatural, hence requires no faithmonospaced

Here's where this kind of thinking leads...false balance and "teach the controversy" instead of informing people. Katie Couric is catching a lot of criticism for it this week

This is my knobservation:
Reality is an infinitely complex terrain stretching across an un-ending plane, a rugged surface with deep valleys and mountains taller we are able to imagine. Our perception of reality is a cloth laid over the surface. We desire for these two surfaces to meet - as we progress, we smooth and work the cloth into the faceted shapes below. Where the cloth is close to surface, it reveals the forms beneath, and our perception of reality in these areas is clear. But taking a closer look, we find a finer complexity upon which the cloth does not lie.
