Does potential gravity exist or exists only in relation to matter?
Can't see how since it's a distortion of space that's caused BY matter.Does potential gravity exist or exists only in relation to matter?
So gravity would not exist without matter? Just seems like it’s always there and with matter we can detect it. I don’t see how matter would create gravity. Seems like with matter we can “see“ gravity, but without matter, gravity would still be there. I’m still pondering this and probably will all day long.Can't see how since it's a distortion of space that's caused BY matter.
Matter might give gravity its “weight” and obviousness, but the gravity force would still be out there. Just nothing to make it obvious???So gravity would not exist without matter?

OK, so it’s not a particle or a wave reacting or causing things to happen? Gravity is a result of whatever’s around it? Spacetime first, then things happened to and in spacetime? If my novice questions get on anyone’s nerves, it won’t hurt my feelings. I know I have a lot more learning to do. Sure am curious.Gravity is literally the bend in the fabric of spacetime.
One last thought. Why don’t they call the fourth force “spacetime” instead of “gravity?”OK, so it’s not a particle or a wave reacting or causing things to happen?

We at least think we have measured the speed of gravity/ equal to the speed of light. We think we have seen the effect of gravity: But I think always with matter. But how much matter must be in play for us to perceive gravity? Quantum gravity or to little matter to matter?So gravity would not exist without matter?

Is gravity the bend or causes the bend? And is there an implication that the force of gravity is in a straight line? And any arc seems more like a trig problem than an actual curve.?Gravity is literally the bend in the fabric of spacetime.

A simple analogy take a marble call it Mars and get a golf ball and call it Earth. Drop the marble in a pool of water and watch the ripple effect it is not that pronounced. Drop the golf ball into the water and the effect is more pronounced and extends out further from the impact. Earth's electromagnetic field extends 40 thousand miles into space whereas Mars gravitational field is not that pronounced it is basically a dying planet.OK, so it’s not a particle or a wave reacting or causing things to happen?

But, gravity waves can travel through a void? But they can warp spacetime, which is how we measure their passing? How do we know they are gravity waves and not some other type? Maybe a new type?
Maybe this Universe itself revolves around an even greater space. I just know if this Earth were to stop in its tracks their wouldn't be much gravity. It seems the size of the planet and the inertia around the sun causes the weight which holds us down here. So the question would be what holds the Sun in space. Just some thoughts I am not read up to well on the science of gravity.lol!
Every bit of matter-and-energy that moves relatively non-aligned to any other bit of matter-and-energy causes a gravitational interaction that creates a torque
Does a tree falling in the forest make any sound if no one is there to hear it?Does potential gravity exist or exists only in relation to matter?
Yes.Does a tree falling in the forest make any sound if no one is there to hear it?
