Week 4

1. E =mc2 affects me in the way that it is a foundation that much of science if based on and limits our understand in someways while simultaneously trying to better understand things. At times putting rules to things can have an effect like blinders on a horse and it gets harder to see outside a narrow view.

2. The four forces = The first three I believe work on a universal level, gravity on the other hand I believe is location bound. To apply all into a smooth flowing formula there are a lot of blanks that i believe still need to be filled in. To try to force fit the four into a formula as it is right now is putting those blinders mentioned above back on.

3. The function of gravity is to give things with mass a home, and in a way a id tag for its place of orgin.

I wonder if gravity can include two objects as an extension of electromagnetic force.
Similar to the our Moon having a gravitational pull to the Earth, I refer to the way forces are drawn to each other from different parts, and come to resting in some settled, yet dynamic relationship together.
