Time travel thread, Hey ho let's go!

No,..I said that actually gravity (or the standard account of gravity, which is that a body spins and therefore 'produces' 'gravity'...is secondary or a by product of the earth spinning, the earth is spinning because it has two opposing poles, and as they are equal to each other, although they fluctuate this in itself causes the spin...not 'gravity'....

The standard account of gravity, which is that...??!!!? no. it. isn't. The standard Newtonian account of gravity is that things with mass create gravitational fields around themselves that attract other things with mass according to the inverse square law. No spinning. No magnetism. The General Relativity version is that mass distorts the geometry of spacetime so that masses accelerate towards one another (thus explaining the coincidence between mass as a measure of inertia, and mass as gravitational 'charge'). No spinning. No magnetism. Quantum mechanics doesn't cope well with gravity which is partly why people are so interested in observing the Higgs boson as that might give some clues as to how to fit gravity and QM together.

Faraday had the idea that maybe there was some connection between gravity and magnetism. So he did some experiments. And concluded that there isn't.
