Oh yes there is. It is one of the most strongly supported theories in science experimentally, but one of the least understood theoretically. Facts are observations; hypotheses are attempts at explaining those observations; theories are hypotheses that have withstood experimental scrutiny and have successfully predicted other observations. Of all the forces in nature, only gravity doesn't fit with the others. It is far from understood, and elaborate proposals such as string theory and various interesting, multi-dimensional geometries have been proposed in order to unify gravitational force will all others, but so far nothing has satisfactorily explained what is going on. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
