I suppose g0pher wanted to bait me here. His Topic post is just ripped directly from something I wrote on another board, several actually. I know there is a lot of "everything is gravity" google results mainly because I wanted to see how many I could get on there... but I kept getting banned from every single one. I was more or less trolling with my "theory", as it doesn't take a genius to understand this.
Anyhow, I'll defend my explanation of gravity...
Black holes - It's the size of the object and it's ability to wobble/expand/contract that gives something it's magnetic field and it's density. The reason the sun is fuses is because of it's size, and because of it's size it's inner core is so dense that the sun fuses. So if something were any denser than the core of the sun, you'd have a very big star on your hands, not a "black hole". Density only comes with size. This is why we have diamonds.
Light - planets do give off their own light. You just can't see it because the stars are sucking away it's energy. It's like taking a little pocket flash light and flashing it onto a log that's on fire. You're not going to see the flash light's light. So we see the "darkness" because we're seeing something much brighter that dulls out what we can see. Everything gives off light, even your eyes by themselves.
Gravity - i liken it to electromagnetism. Newton thought the same thing about gravity at first, but I've never read anything he's written to come to my own conclusions. It just made sense to me that our planets and solar systems and galaxies all follow some sort of pattern. Jupiter being so huge because it's far enough away from the sun to not have to be "tamed"/torn apart by it. That's why we have 4 huge gas giants out there beyond our asteroid belt. Those planets didn't quite get the chance to form into stars, and so they might have been parts of bigger bodies but the sun's gravitational pull prevented them from doing so. Venus and Earth are extremely close to each other, and so they will be roughly the same size. Mercury is so tiny because it's so close to the sun. And then you take in account how each planet will "fight" with the others and balance everything out. But today people think it's "electromagnetism", well i say that electro-magnetism IS gravity. Better to have an easy word for it.
There's a lot more, but it's really obvious and I'm just trying to get my google results up again... heh.
