Gravity

The theory of Gravity is an intresting one that was conjured up by Newton. As the tale goes, Newton was sitting under a tree and an apple fell on his head and all of a sudden it occured to him that things fell. He expanded his theory to include that every object in the known universe attracts every other object in a mannor preportional to that of its size. Unfortunalty, Newton had no idea why and till today, it still remains a mystery.

The idea was very simple. The theory that i have came across was much more complex and i have devoted many years of contemplation to discover what i wish to share. Imagine for a moment that everything, every atom, every sub-atomic particle in the known universe is expanding at the exact same rate; getting bigger as it were. The preportion would in turn stay the exact same. For example: i am holding a pencil in my hand. The atome in the gravite(lead) of the pencil are growing at the same rate of those in the eraser of the pencil. Also the atoms that make up the wood of the pencil are also acting in the same mannor. Therefore the pencil will always stay the same shape and also stay in perfect preportion.

Why can i not see the pencil grow?

The answre for this is very simple. Lets say that i am still holding that same pencil in my, lets say, right hand which is two and a half feet away from my eyes. The atoms that make up the molocules that make up the cells that make up my eyes and body are part of the known universe also and therefore are growing at the same rate as the atoms that make up the pencil; see theory: all atoms are growing at the same rate. Because i am growing in preportion to the known universe, and the pencil is a part of the known universe, and my eyes are a part of me, the pencil appears to have not changed at all, in fact the pencil looks as if it has not changed position simply because i have moved exactly the same as the pencil. This is much the same as when you are in a car trabeling at 55 mph and there is another car right next to you traveling at 55 mph; the other car appears to be stationary, but it is, in fact, moving.

If the pencil is growing, why will it not eventually touch the ground? This question is centered around the fact tha i am still holding the pencil in my right hand at a height of about, lets say, 5 feet. now i am expanding at the same rate as the pencil is. Because i am expanding in every direction at the same speed as the pencil, my arm is lifting the pencil up. The pencil is also expanding in every direction at once, including down, at the same speed that i am expanding up. Our two speeds counter each other and the pencil therefore appears to be stationary. I am pushing the pencil away from the the ground, though unintentional, so it will never touch the ground and never grow closer to it. If i were to let go of the pencil i would no longer be pushing it away from the ground and it would appear to fall, but in reality, it would be stationary and the ground would expand up to the pencil. Because we are expanding at the same rate, the pencil would appear to fall.
