<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>When I say that the gravity and magnetism are one, I am saying what I am saying. This invisible force, which we call gravity, is actually a magnet. But what this gravity does, is extend the effect of magnetic objects to non magnetic objects by falling to the ground. When this object stops, it did because other matter on the way stopped it from going further down (meaning the crust).

I don't think you're talking about a Unified Field Theory where gravity and "magnetism" are different elements of a single field, are you ?</p><p>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>If you're ever familiar with metal detectors, we know they work because they only point to the magnetic objects. When we try to point it to a non magnetic object, the detector will not sound the alarm. When you point this metal detector, it will not sound, but this wood have magnetic properties which is too miniscule to detect, but it is there. When you take away the atmosphere, and everything else, objects will react a little differently because I think the atmosphere acts as a damper on the impact.

Different elements weighs different. A lead particle is heavier than soapstone, or limestone particle. When you understand the weight principle, then you can understand which will be heavier to lift up. This is another property of magnetism, but we would call it specifically, gravity. <br />Posted by <strong>Aaupaaq</strong></DIV><br /><br />Different elements weigh differently because their components have different masses because they are made of more, or less, numbers of the same atomic parts. Mass is a different property from magnetic "susceptability". Having more mass does not make a thing more "magnetic". Think about a pound of lead vs a pound of steel. Both weigh the exact same (1 pound) so gravity is affecting them exactly the same amount, but they are vastly different in their response to a magnet. Why is that do you think ? </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>
