   Something interesting about that force is that unlike the spring force where the spring is touching the mass, you can see it's pulling it, or when I push this chair you can see I'm doing it, the pull of gravity is a bit strange, because there is no real contact between the earth and the object that's falling. It was a great abstraction to believe that things can reach out and pull things which are not touching them, and gravity was the first formally described force where that was true. And another excursion in the same theme is if this object gets very far, say like the moon over there, then …

   The entire planet is pulling it down: Himalayas pulling it down, Pacific Ocean, pulling it down, Bin Laden sitting in his cave pulling it down. Everything is pulling it down, okay? I am one of these people generally convinced the world is acting against me, but this time I'm right. Everything is acting against me, and I'm able to triumph against all of that with this tiny comb. And that is how you compare the electric force with the gravitational force. It takes the entire planet to compensate whatever tiny force I create between the comb and the piece of paper. To really get a number out of t…

   It's a pushing out that it does. It's a pressure, an outward pressure, that the gravitational force is pushing against. ♪ ♪ Overall, the universe is accelerating in its expansion because of this dark energy effect. ♪ ♪ NARRATOR: Today, scientists estimate it is overwhelmingly the most prevalent form of energy in the universe. RHODES: We thought we knew the constituents of the universe and how it was evolving over time. Al of a sudden, we found out that, no, we didn't know, because the biggest component of the universe wasn't dark matter, it was dark energy. NARRATOR: So, what exactly is dark e…

   Gravity is said to be “different” from the electromagnetic force because gravity has a polarity that is always positive. In other words, *for gravitational forces, things with masses always seem attractive and add to one another.* What could nature be hiding that might have a negative polarity that could move things apart? **Might a magnetic monopole be the opposite of gravity?** To many, this might seem foolish but we need to explore this further because it may explain a lot of what we don’t know about magnetism and life.

   You want to know what it's going to do. All right, we know it's going to slide down the hill, but we want to be more precise, and the whole purpose of Newton's Laws is to quantify things for which you already have an intuition. So the only novel thing about the inclined plane is that for the first time we are going to pick our x and y axes not along the usual directions, but along and perpendicular to the incline. That's going to be my x and that's going to be my y. And I ask, what are the forces on this mass? Well, I've told you, first deal with contact forces. But the only thing in contact w…

   The world or nature behaves as though these fictions were true until it doesn’t And then we replace the convenient fictions with other ones. For instance, Newton proposed the convenient fiction that there is an invisible force called gravity, pulling celestial bodies to one another invisibly and at a distance, and instantly. And it took the French about half a century to stop laughing of this mystical idea of these invisible forces pulling things towards one another. but we know how that ended. And yet, in the early 20th century, Einstein showed that there is no such force. There is no such in…

    The assertion of thrice, instead of twice, is either an error of the author, or a blunder of the scribe, but the phenomenon is the same, and the expression soft-flowing,[21] has reference to the flood-tide, which has a gentle swell, and does not flow with a full rush. Posidonius believes that where Homer describes the rocks as at one time covered with the waves, and at another left bare, and when he compares the ocean to a river, he alludes to the flow of the ocean. The first supposition is correct, but for the second there is no ground; inasmuch as there can be no comparison between the flow,…
