Gravity

Chuck Spencer was a physics nerd. He spent his evenings playing video games and reading physics textbooks. He wrote reports in private notebooks. Even if he had solved one of the greatest mysteries of science that doesn’t mean anyone noticed. Gravity is an effect of entropy. Einstein was right; Chuck said the secret is in the natures of space and mass. No hidden grasper reaches out from an object with mass grasping for other graspers. Instead, each object deforms space around it so nearby space is compressed and space away from it is stretched. This deformation and entropy creates gravity. Why do hot air balloons rise? Why does balsa wood float? Why do bubbles tend toward being spherical? Mass compresses space around it and it wants to get to a state with less potential energy. “I leave the rest,” Chuck said, “as an exercise for the student.”
