What is gravity?
I have been playing with this idea that gravity is light in a "solid" form. It seems to have the same properties and like water can be a solid, liquid and gas state, could light be light in a gas state, electricity in a liquid state and gravity in a solid state?

Imaginative, but I think gravity is something closer to magnetics, where the strength of the attractive field is determined by the mass of the object. The attractive force would be distributed evenly throughout everything that had mass.
The attractive force of gravity may actually be a repellent force operating inside the vacuum of space, causing matter to form "bubbles" in the vacuum. Just a thought....

I hear what you are saying and it does make sense. Do you think the larger the object the more electrical current, due to more charged molecules moving inside of it. As voyager left our solar system it looked back on huge bubbles of what looked like gravitational energy.
@bcantlon I don't think gravity can be seen.. I'd imagine (which means I am guessing) tht gravitational pull depends on the atomic weight of the substance or matter.
Although we do seem to understand most of the rules under which gavity operates, we still don't really know exactly what causes it. Technically, we don't know a lot of things. Liek we believe electricity is ht eflow of electrons, but it has never been proved.
We just go on the assumption that is what electricy is. That is another thing where we understand the rules and properties, but don't really understand what it is.
One of the fundamental forces, the attraction matter has to other matter.

Something newton invented out of boredom for lack of cable tv and out of spite due poor flying skills.

It is so far defined as ä weak force at a distance" 1
And more clearly defined as the force that attracts objects towards one another, especially the force that makes things fall to the ground:2

Then doesn't it work within quantum physics?
