Interesting talk, all about gravity, trust me when I say, if you are not interested in watching it, there is no need to tell me I don't care.

Six days, radio silence, and another thread peters out into cold, dark, entropy.

“Gravity is not a force.” was, I think, KJ’s feeble attempt to prop up his belief that science doesn’t really know what’s going on, that science is merely an alternative belief system with a god-shaped hole in it. The video does no such thing. It does however raise the point that thinking of gravity as if it were a force, something similar to magnetism (which IS a force), is a metaphor. Rigorous physicists don’t talk that way.

Thinking of atoms as if they were little solar systems, with hard little balls of electrons orbiting a solid nucleus, is also a metaphor. Rigorous physicists don’t talk that way.

But, as we know from other threads, KJ can’t abstract; he takes everything literally. Viz the talking snake in The Garden.

Yeah, well, the Bible talks about a whole lot of things, the Earth being immobile and so on. The OT is full of barbaric stories, and the Apocalypse is a hallucinogenic nightmare. Make of it what you will, but literal factual news reporting it is not. More like Fox ‘News’, if you ask me.
