  1.  @lukky6648  it's not "if". This theory IS true, general relativity accurately explains gravity at these levels. This isn't some guess. This is reality

  2. Basically, space is distorted and your movement through time is what causes you to fall to earths core

  3.  @lukky6648  gliding works because of lift. Lift works against curvature of spacetime into the earth. Lift provides an upwards force due to air newtons 3rd law

  4.  @gamerdio2503  You can fix this shoddy explanation by adding time into the equation. Things follow the spacetime curvature because they are travelling forwards through time

  5.  @MrMeeHigh1  it doesn't contradict anything, it can be confirmed in various different ways and this video even talks about some of them

  6.  @scottzielinski9942  I wouldn't bother with that, most people need to actually learn basic Newtonian physics first

  7.  @jayd7439  All that means is that it's an incomplete model that can't explain everything. The things it does explain, it explains perfectly well. Just like newtonian gravity explained many phenomena perfectly. But when it came to things like the orbit of Mercury, it couldn't account for that. Same goes for GR. It can't explain the rotation speeds of galaxies, or the singularity of a black hole.

  10. Earth is expanding outwards constantly at 9.81ms^-2, but it's expanding into a constantly contracting space, so it never grows larger

  11. If you skip the basics of physics, and don't actually learn the equations behind these principles, then you're in love with this guy's videos, not with physics

  12. I think what it means is, that you are constantly moving forwards. You're moving forwards through the dimension of time, and in the presence of a massive object, that movement through time is translated into movement through space. That's why you fall towards massive objects even when it seems like you're completely stationary, it's because you're not actually stationary, you're moving forwards in time and progressing into the future, your future being curved into the massive object, essentially. And in order to resist this movement, you must accelerate through space more, and thus accelerate through time less.

  13. why are all the comments so recent
