Gravity is not a ‘force,’ like electromagnetism. It is
the inevitable consequence of our three dimensional membrane, within
which we are all trapped, curving into the fourth dimension.
Imagine a flat piece of paper on a table. That two dimensional piece
of paper represents our three dimensional membrane. If you take a
pencil and push up the middle of the paper into a hill, the membrane is
now being curved into a new dimension. As you push that pencil up, you
are representing our universe moving in time, moving into a fourth
dimension.
We - you, me, all ‘matter’ - are moving even when we think we are at rest.
Not just in the sense that the earth orbits the sun, or the sun
orbits the galaxy. I mean that even if we were to find a way to be
truly still, we would continue to move into the fourth dimension, as more and more of the universe is created
All matter is moving at the speed of light at all times. That matter
can choose to use some of that movement within the three dimensional
membrane. Whatever amount of ‘speed’ is left over is spent moving into
the fourth dimension.
As we move into the fourth dimension, it’s as if we are heading to
the top of the hill in the paper example. So if you are standing next
to me, and not using up all of your ‘speed,’ and I am not using up all
of my ‘speed’ (in the three dimensional membrane,) then we will both be
heading to the top of that hill as the three dimensional membrane pushes
further into the fourth dimension.
The curve of that ‘hill’ and the inevitable motion of the three
dimensional membrane forces you and me closer and closer. We experience
this as gravity.
