Ghosts....... Do you believe in them?????

Ghost of Gravity

Well… my major being Physics I would certainly say Gravity is a property of anything that posses mass. But II am interested in knowing more of when Gravity originated. This may seem ridiculous logically but as will see its logic that makes things ridiculous. If I say that Gravity was born on Feb 14th 1723 you will say I‘ve gone mad.
It’s something like believing that the ghosts exist even if they don’t (although I don’t think so). A person who talks about ghosts is considered as arrogant or maybe nutty. It’s just all but completely impossible to imagine a world where ghosts can actually exist. But people in past do believed in ghosts and I must say they were as intelligent as we are but the context in which they thought was different. Within that context ghosts and spirits are quite as real as atoms, particles, photons and quanta are to the modern man. Modern man has his ghosts and spirits too.

The laws of Physics, we believe in them so thoroughly that they seem to be real. For example, it seems completely natural to presume that gravitation and the law of gravitation existed before Isaac Newton. It would sound nutty to think that until the seventeenth century there was no gravity. What I am driving at is the notions that before the beginning of the earth, before the sun and before the stars were formed, before the primal generation of anything, the law of gravity existed.

Sitting there having no mass of its own, no energy of its own not in anyone’s mind because there wasn’t anyone, not in space because there was no space either, not anywhere--- this law of gravity still existed?

If this law of gravity existed I honestly don’t know what a thing has to do to be nonexistent. It seems to pass every test of nonexistence there is. You cannot think of a single attribute of existence it did have. And yet its still “common sense” to believe that it existed.

I predict that if you think about it long enough you will find yourself going round and round and round until you finally reach only one possible conclusion. The law of gravity did not exist before Isaac Newton. No other conclusion makes sense and what that means is that the law of gravity exists nowhere except in people’s heads! It’s a ghost! And the reason for which we believe in this ghost is a mass hypnosis in a very orthodox form known as “education”.

So what I think is that the disembodied words of Sir Isaac Newton were sitting in the middle of nowhere billions of years before he was born and magically he discovered these words. They were always there even when they applied to nothing. Gradually the world came into existence and they applied to it. In fact those words themselves were what formed the world now. That is friends (I think you will agree by now) ridiculous.

So, I believe in the ghost of gravity; do you?
