Itâs really easy to cross-pollinate here with other groups and people. The expression of ideas that you will find from that cross-pollination is so beneficial. The benefit from Boise comes from that interaction and engaging with the minds and ideas that make this place special.â - Jessica Flynn.
Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including objects ranging from atoms and photons, to planets and stars. Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy (including light) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it.
Gravity is a fundamental underlying force in the universe. The amount of gravity that something possesses is proportional to its mass and distance between it and another object. This relationship was first published by Sir Issac Newton. His law of universal gravitation says that the force (F) of gravitational attraction between two objects with Mass1 and Mass2 at distance D is: F = G(mass1*mass2)/D squared. (G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.). Einstein's theory of relativity adds to this.
