Does this explain what generates gravity?

I'm sorry if I got cross here folks. But the fact is half of us would be dead right now without Science.

I spent 5 years at London University doing Science, 4 at Bedford College doing Physics....

I spent years studying physics and EE as well. And now the typical person I interact with is not even aware these topics exist. Job interviews - "What's that?"

Our country eliminated tons of professional jobs and outsourced them to Asia. It's very discouraging. Even AT&T (the "A" stands for "American" in typical hypocritical fashion) outsources engineering to Taiwan. I learned that when I tried to get a job with them.
 
Are you referring to the Red Matter that Spock used to create a singularity?

I have this book that may interest you, though I admit I haven't read much of it:

I think you should read it. It looks good.

I have read something similar by Professor Ian Stewart:

I think it was Legendre and Poincare who discovered Chaos in orbital mechanics. The Three body problem which we looked at earlier.

Between Total Chaos and Total Ordered mechanics lie inbetween things called attractors. AFAIK, if the mass of the moon was larger, say 1/20th of the mass of the Earth, all sorts of chaotic orbital things would happen.

In fact the Moon does a lot to stabilise the Earth. Without it, our axis of rotation would be flipping all over the place. And then you have Lagrange Points, which can help Space Probes get from A to B with very little fuel.

The Osiris-Rex probe is pulling this stunt. Having dropped off a bit of Asteroid Bennu and having 25% fuel left, I believe it is off to have a camera look at another dangerous asteroid.

World needs too calm down. and each party should Look at themself. Russia amarica king jong ung china china sea israle iraq ukrain brazil canada. What are we trying to achieve here. Everybody want to look more and more manece by each day passing. The jobs are nowere to found. the new jobs , well forget about it. Ai covid compitition. African population burst is at our doorsteps. The climage is changing. Permafrost is melting. Wildfires. Its just getting out of hand. Worlds really is on fire right no.
 
It's precisely to leave the worries of the world behind me for a short time that I take refuge in this lighthearted science thread.

Please let us not stray from the discussion of science. If necessary, we can always rely on gravity to get us down. 😉
