The "deformation" of space-time is a pictoral analogy of how gravity works on a macro scale. It doesn't actually exist.

obviously, its not like space-time is an actual fabric.

i figured people in the thread would know that already, since the topic was already adressed

I could see you understood it, that was to "TheKK".

Does gravity exist?  No, no, not at all!

Gravity would still exist. There would just be nothing for it to act on. The earths iron core is what causes the gravity on earth so if you took away the core and, as was stated in the original post, all land, there would be no gravity and no black hole.

not its not...

its the fact that earth has a mass that is much larger than our own [and the sun has a mass bigger than the earth]

technically, we are all gravitated to one another [to a unimaginably small degree, but gravitated none-the-less].

all mass has a tendency to gravitate toward one another [exept exotic matter which acts in the opposite way] and the earth is an example of this.

gravity is equal to G [universal gravitational constant] multiplied by the mass of one object and the mass of the other object that you with to compare. all divided by the square of the distance between the two objects.

the "iron core" has nothing to do with it, it may just make it less massive. thus having a lessened effect on us all.

gravity will exist and black wholes will exert a force on any mater unless you change the gravitationl constant of 6.67300 x10-11

you cant just change it...

also, i dont know if you purposely did it, but i like how you wrote "and black holes will exert a force on any matter.." instead of "black holes will have matter gravitate inward" or "black holes will suck matter in"

because it is speculated that black holes (and the exotic matter there-in) work omnidirectionally, sucking one way then pushing after reaching the center. and vice versa. if worm holes only sucked in, as many people believe, then anything traveling through them would be stuck in the middle, unable to exit the mouth on the opposite end.

Gravity in and of it self is a theory. Which has yet to be proven true, many people believe it to be true because well, when you fall off a twenty story building, the key is you fall, not float. I'm not saying I don't believe in gravity I'm saying what the scientific community as a collective whole has simi-agreed upon.

You had Einstein with his theory of relativity (e=mc^2), and you have the string theorists and their respective theory.

All in all gravity is a THEORY, we know its there, we just really don't know what it is (I hope that makes some sense).

Thats basically all I have to say, I'm sure I meant to put more in there, but lack of sleep and a large headache prevent me from doing so...

Black holes have matter, very, very, very, dense matter, but it is matter. There isn't just a hole of nothing in space. You can't have gravitational attraction without matter to be attracted.

^^ dont forget gravitational repulsion due to exotic matter in the middle area of the holes...

anyway.

gravity is more than "if you jump off a building you will fall"
yes, it is a theory. but it is how we describe the planets revolving around the sun the way they do. and many other things that happen not only on the planet, but in the universe as well.

GRAVITY as we describe it exists. whether or not we are wrong about what it actually is is the theoretical part.
