Assuming that there are countless small particles in space impacting each other, gravity is generated from the high-speed impact of invisible small particles. When the two objects are close, due to the shielding of the two objects themselves, the frequency of particle impact on the near surface is less than that on the back of the two objects. This is a guess generated by gravity. In fact, it is quantum fluctuation , resulting Casimir effect It's not gravity.
The attraction between any two objects or two particles related to the product of their mass is also the most common force in nature, called gravity for short. stay Particle physics Middle term Gravitational interaction and Strong weak force and Electromagnetic force 4 kinds Basic interaction Gravity is one of the weakest, between two protons Universal gravitation Only between them Electromagnetic force 1/(1.235 * 10 to the 36th power), the proton's gravitational force by the earth is only 1/(9.761 * 10 to the 9th power) of its electromagnetic force in a weak electric field of 1000V/m. So study the interaction between particles electron microscope When moving in the accelerator, the effect of gravity is not considered. Generally, the gravity between objects is also very small. For example, when two iron balls with a diameter of 1 meter are close together, the gravity is only 1.11 × 10 -3 Newton, equal to 0.113 grams of the weight of a small drop of water. But the mass of the earth is very large, and these two iron balls are respectively affected by 4 × 10 four Newtonian Gravity of the earth So the research object is on the earth gravitational field The gravity of other objects around is usually not taken into account when moving in.
Celestial bodies, such as the sun and the earth, have a large mass, and the product is even greater. The huge gravity can make the monster rotate around the sun. Gravity has become a force that controls the movement of celestial bodies, but the reason for this kind of gravity is not the pull between celestial bodies, but the distortion of the surrounding space-time by celestial bodies. The formation of stars does not disperse under high temperature, but gradually shrinks, and finally collapses into White dwarf neutron star And black holes due to their massive Space-time distortion , resulting in Spatiotemporal extrusion Caused by the action of Celestial evolution Important factors. The greater the mass, the greater the distortion of space-time, and the greater the gravity.
There is no detailed explanation of why gravity occurs Modern physics General relativity )Think Universal gravitation Because Space-time curvature And produce. as everyone knows, The line segment between two points is the shortest , this is Plane geometry This line segment is geodesic. However, after being bent Four-dimensional space-time Li, Geodesic It was also bent. As a result, the planet is gravitated along the geodesic sunlight Proximity is due to the coincidence of mass (including the coincidence of speed) and the inertia of planets (many people understand that centrifugal force This is wrong. Centrifugal force is just an illusion. It doesn't exist in the universe centrifugal force , not found), and then press Elliptical orbit revolution. When the quality is not coincidental Gravitational springboard Phenomenon, or hit the sun. Wherein, the composition sphere systems The main reason is not gravity, but the space-time distortion caused by mass.
The attraction of gravity on the earth gives weight to objects and makes them fall to the ground. In addition, Universal gravitation It is the reason why the sun and earth and other celestial bodies exist; Without gravity, celestial bodies cannot attract each other formation sphere systems , and as we all know Life forms It will not appear. Gravity also makes the earth and other celestial bodies revolve around the sun according to their own orbits, Moon According to its own orbit, it revolves around the earth, forming tides, and other kinds of natural phenomena
Gravity is the force generated by the movement of all objects. The whole universe is a big vortex, in which there are countless small vortices, one constellation after another Galaxy It is a small vortex. There is a small vortex in the small vortex, and then it drives the space it rotates according to its mass. Just like the size of the fan that drives the air to rotate, the running track of the universe is in the form of a vortex. This is the so-called universe expansion theory, because the matter outside the vortex will be rotated farther and farther, and the faster the rotation speed of the matter, the greater the gravity it will generate, The gravitational range that matter can generate is proportional to the space rotation speed driven by its mass. When the size of the same mass matter is the same, the faster its rotation speed will generate gravity on another matter, so a black hole can not escape even light. Because the speed of the black hole is far faster than the speed of light, photons are attracted when passing through the black hole, If there is a kind of material whose speed is greater than the rotation speed of the black hole, it can pass through the black hole, and the black hole is actually a wind eye. Suppose you do an experiment, a kind of material that rotates faster than the speed of light, then light touches the high-speed rotating material, and photons will rotate with it, which is like a piece of paper, moving slowly, But a gas with very high speed can pierce the paper in an instant as long as it is extremely fast. On the contrary, the rotation speed of the paper is far faster than that of the gas. Then the gas hit the paper will be dissolved by the rotation speed and then rotate with the paper. People can't feel the rotation on the earth, just like a bee flying with the plane in an airplane, When people leave the rotation range of the earth, the gravity of the earth on people will disappear. Newton said that the apple fell to the ground because of gravity. What he wanted to say was that a basin size fan blowing upward was placed above the apple. As long as the fan was fast enough, the apple would fall upward.

1. A law of interaction between objects, 1687 Newton Found. Any object has mutual attraction, and the magnitude of this force is related to the Mass of object Proportional And inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. If m1. m2 represents the mass of two objects and r represents the distance between them, then the mutual attraction between objects is
, G is called Universal gravitational constant The law of universal gravitation was published by Newton in 1687 Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy First proposed in the book. Newton used the law of universal gravitation to explain not only Planetary motion It also points out that Jupiter Saturn's moons have the same motion law around the planet. He believes that the moon is not only attracted by the earth, but also by the sun, thus explaining what has long been discovered in the movement of the moon Mean square error , business trip, etc. In addition, he explained comet The motion orbit of Tidal phenomenon according to Law of universal gravitation Successfully predicted and discovered Neptune After the emergence of the law of universal gravitation, the research on the motion of celestial bodies was formally established on the basis of mechanical theory, thus establishing Celestial mechanics In short, the greater the mass, the greater the gravity generated. The gravity generated by the mass of the earth is enough to hold everything on the earth firmly.
2. Any two particles pass through Centripetal line The forces in the direction attract each other. The gravity is proportional to the product of their masses, inversely proportional to the square of their distances, and proportional to the Chemical essence Or physical state and intermediary matter.
Different interpretations
Gravity Classical physics Is considered to be the largest in the universe Fundamental force One is proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. But in Einstein In his theory, gravity is no longer a basic force, but only a manifestation of the curvature of space-time structure. The reason for the curvature of the space-time structure is the huge mass.
Take an example: solar system The planets in the inner circle the sun. The explanation in classical physics is that the planets are attracted by the sun and circle the sun.
According to the theory of general relativity, the space-time around the sun is affected by the huge mass of the sun, forming a space-time curve Geodesic line Exercise.
Newton's law of gravity is still the general understanding of gravity in modern times. In 1687 (Ding Mao year), Newton《 Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy 》The law of universal gravitation is published in the book. Newton's law of universal gravitation is stated as follows:
Newton and Gravity
"Each particle in the universe attracts other particles with a force that is proportional to the product of the mass of each particle and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them“
(Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.)
Specific to the cosmic objects under extreme conditions such as black holes. It has a strong attraction. When scientists explain this attraction, they attribute it to Space bending Resulting in Space bending The reason is the huge mass of the black hole itself.
Gravitational lensing of galaxy clusters
When it comes to gravity, in the final analysis, it is related to mass. Gravity is regarded as A basic force caused by mass Einstein relativity The gravity is regarded as Quality induced Space-time curvature Performance of
quantum mechanics It is believed that, Gravity is due to the exchange of two particles Graviton cause Of.

In the early 17th century, people were able to distinguish many forces, such as friction , gravity air resistance , electricity and gravity, etc. Newton accurately attributed these seemingly different phenomena to the concept of universal gravitation for the first time: apples fall, people have weight, and the moon revolves around the earth. All these phenomena are caused by the same reason. Newtonian Law of universal gravitation Simple and easy to understand, covering a wide range. Newton's concept of universal gravitation is one of the most practical concepts in all sciences. Newton believed that gravitation is the basic feature of all matter, which has become the theoretical cornerstone of most physical sciences.

The reason why light is sucked into the black hole is that gravity causes space distortion. Light enters the black hole with the distorted space. Everyone knows that light only goes straight. Light is not sucked in by gravity, but light still goes straight, but space distortion enters the black hole. For example, if you draw a line on the paper and twist the paper, it is still a line.
Light is along Rectilinear propagation According to general relativity, space will gravitational field Bending under action. At this time, although the light still travels along the shortest distance between any two points, it is no longer a straight line, but a curve. Figuratively speaking, it seems that light is supposed to walk in a straight line, but the strong gravity Stretch bending Has.
