I tried to find more info about gravity but just could not find much info about how gravity works. So obviously my mind is entertaining the idea that gravity is a pseudo (coincidence is that astrophysicists are able to explain the other 3 primal forces as just diff manifestations of the very primal force but yet to determine gravity is also just a manifestation). Given this I thought maybe we are confusing gravity to be a diff force when it is already explained by some other force. I know this is blasphemous but so far the info I have gained is the following -
What is gravity? = Force of attraction between two objects
What is the amount of attraction? = The formula for gravitational force
Why gravity exists? = probably not answerable or comprehendible by human mind. Its just like why are atoms made of electrons, protons, neutrons? Just coz...they just are or say why nuclear forces exist? they just do (different from what nuclear force is).
How does gravity work? = here's where I am finding the problem. Logic tells me that any sort of interaction or communication between two objects happens because they are transferring data/information. Absence of such an exchange is absence of interaction. Sun heats up the Earth because they interact (interaction is heat energy / heat particles (i.e. data/info) sent from sun to earth). So what is that data that is being transferred between two objects that claims to be gravitational force? I remember reading somewhere the word graviton..but I am not sure maybe I am just hallucinating about that word.
Another aspect on gravity...they say gravity is a very weak force but it acts over mind-boggling distances. Has there ever been any experiments done to verify this or is it still in the realm of conjecture.
I am embarrassed about this one because I forgot to get it clarified in school...to be honest the thought didn't even occur to me till a couple of weeks ago. I'll sound very stupid here. When I was in school I was taught that tides/waves in the oceans were caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. Teacher said so I believed her until this silly thought came to my mind 2 weeks back. If moon's gravity is able to pull the ocean up by say a foot, then it should also have the same effect on other earthly bodies too right? So why don't we see rocks, river water, us, other animals, birds, etc being pulled up? Surely I won't be heavier than 3 or 4 buckets of the water in the ocean. Its a very silly question
