What is gravity?

 There are even more problems with Einstein’s theory but those problems are too difficult to explain without some advanced mathematics. The most difficult of these other problems is that no one has been able to make any of the theories of gravity compatible with another major physics theory call quantum mechanics.

 My own feeling is that all these flaws are trying to tell us something very fundamental about our universe. We just don’t have the wit or imagination to figure out what yet. Perhaps if you stay interested in science someday you will be the one to figure things out or at least get closer to the truth. If you do, you could become as famous as Newton or Einstein.

Finally as you may have noticed all of these theories use a lot of mathematics. In a sense math is the language of science. If you want to be a scientist you must learn math. For a lot of people I know that learning math can sometimes be boring and tedious but you have to learn the boring and tedious stuff before you can work on the really neat, fun and exciting stuff. So if math seems hard don’t get discouraged but keep on working and I promise you it will become more interesting in the end.

Also you might find the history of gravity theories interesting. If you are interested in learning even more then click on the links on this web page.
