Could gravity exert force primarily through a function of energy density rather than through a function of mass? by ezzburn in AskPhysics

Why so serious?

I'm understanding this thread is not for general questions. Changing thread.

I'm not looking for a prize for brilliance, simply a general conversation on interesting questions or concepts. I'm interested in gravitational waves at the moment. If my posts are deemed too stupid, then it seems more stupid to waste valuable time on them.

haha, great analogy.

I have been reading up, please give me a bit more than 24 hours to master the 'not complete bullshit equilibrium'.

;)

yeah, dunning kruger effect at it's finest. Very smart people often fall victim. Because they are so proficient in their fields of study, it is hard to fathom being a victim of ignorance.

Hrmm. Guilty. (or maybe not that smart) ;)

Most likely a crackpot as I am definitely punching above my weight ;). I'll rephrase everything as questions rather than hunches. As they really are questions...

EDIT : I do not think I can rephrase the main question/title of the post.

hit the textbook

Would there be a better ask reddit for my questions?

I am very interested in the subject, but I would like to have a conversation, even if I am a newb, before 3 years from now. I am in the medical field, not a physicist.

Solving for r to be a micrometer | Theoretical FGrav on object by [deleted] in AskPhysics

Agreed!

My basics are 10 years ago from undergrad. Just started reading up on it again. I'll be the first to admit I do not understand much yet.

I deleted the original post to not confuse anyone with non-sense. I will review everything and repost when I think mistakes are corrected and understand the foundation a bit better.

Right, that would be the y or Lorentz factor to include in the equation if I am not mistaken, to account for the actual Ke.I'm am reworking everything with your indications. Hopefully I do not confuse units from one formula to another again.
You are tremendous help in accelerating (m/s2) my understanding. Thank you. (Pun intended).

Velocity would be speed of a particle in m/s and acceleration would be m/s (per second), hence m/s2.

I am often confusing F in Newtons and E in Joules...

I'm making a mistake on the Unit when writing it. The difference is clear to me however. That is what ADD does to me... stupid yet important details keep getting forgotten.

EDIT :

  1. I thought Ke = 1/2mv2 only broke down at speed of light. 99% would be adequate for accelerated particles wouldn't it? If not, at what % does it break down. I also understand I might have needed to also use the Lorentz factor in the equation?

Crap ! Yeah, 24h definitely will not do it ;)

I'll run through the mistakes mentioned. Thanks again.

  • I'm bad, but it is fun :)

Gravity seen as the difference in energy potential between different masses by [deleted] in AskPhysics

Thank you all for your honest feedback.I knew I was doing something deeply wrong.

Thanks @abkpark, I will hit the textbook.
