That's nice.
(it doesn't matter for this current discussion).
The current discussion is what I was saying. You didnt respond to it. I am asking you to explain spacetime.
Spacetime!!!
I'm not attempting to explain how it works. I'm just saying that there is a resultant effect that exists that we call gravity.
I don't have an answer for what spacetime is beyond the current theories, but why is that relevant?

I can tell you what it's not. It's not caused by the air resistance of objects moving through air, as Turbonium claims.
So why did you respond to me? I was asking someone to explain teh spacetime. I didn't argue against the fact that things fall.

Ok. Can you explain why rockets dont perform optimal at all altitudes(pressures), and need an altitude specific nozzle to perform optimal at a specific altitude(pressure)?
What I was responding to was the assertion in your post that it mattered at all "how does gravity work" or "what is spacetime" in order to understand that there is a thing that we call gravity that does in fact exist.

No what we call gravity does not exist according to your model. There is no force pulling things down. Its spacetime bending. Again, I was not arguing against the fact that things fall. I was asking for an explanation of spacetime.
The more you fail at explaining it the more apparent the relevance becomes.
And please spare me your irrelevant "We as Humans" type meanderings.

Then if you throw a brick straight up into the air why does it slow faster than what can be attributed to air resistance, stop, then change to direction to fall straight down.
Why does a bullet shot horizontally fall towards the ground as soon as it leaves the muzzle?

You still have yet to provide a single source for your idiotic claim that birds can float. Speaking of request to provide evidence that you routinely refuse to answer. SYDNEY . . .POLARIS
And I've already explained the Sydney - Polaris issue many times, you must routinely refuse to read my posts, as the example above proves.
