    this sounds very similar to something i heard of before called intelligent falling.

    scientists have know idea of what causes gravity, and they probably never will. it's a philosophical or theological question. i could say that god causes gravity. or love. or maybe all matter has automatical attracting telekinetic powers.

    i know that everything has fallen from the divine unity that we call god. so everything seeks back there. that's why there is gravity. the positive and negative (invisible) earth's love each other because they have fallen from unity into the world of duality, so they try to merge, and the result is gravity.

    Here in East Korea, we do not believe in evolution.

    Or gravity.

    I thought relativity did not recognise gravity as a force?

    In the 19th century, Indiana's House of Representatives was very close to passing a law declaring \(\pi\) to be exactly equal to 3.2. Fortunately a mathematician happened to be there on the same day the bill was being debated, applying for funding for his university. He convinced them of the foolishness of the venture, but if he wasn't there it would have been railroaded through. Then they would have had to find a new letter whenever they wanted to describe something actually applying to real math

    Oh and S.A.M., relativity still considers gravity to be a force, it just redefines what a force is and how it acts and gets perceived.

    That's would be quite a strange law.
