Gravity is just a force that is a property of mass. The bigger the mass the bigger the attractive force is. But it does reduce inversly proprtional to the distance squared. Well thats still the common explanation for it. there is Also Einstiesns Priniciple of equivalance that he derived from a "thought experiment" thinking about lifts in space and the bending of light. Making Gravity and Acceleration one and the same.
Is it just me or does it seem like there are more theories now than there were say a 100years ago? It seems to me that the human search for truth is somewhat flawed by the human need to understand and explain things. Can we really observe/understand/know the truth without affecting it?
