President Trump warned that protesters at a planned military parade in Washington for the Army's 250th birthday would be met with 'very big force,' blurring the line between peaceful assembly and violence, amid ongoing tensions over protests and law enforcement responses.
The question of whether gravity is a force is complicated. Gravity can be defined as a force that causes objects to move or deform. Isaac Newton described gravity as a force of attraction between two bodies based on their mass and distance. However, Albert Einstein's theory of gravity proposed that it is the distortion of spacetime caused by massive objects. While Einstein's theory has been validated, it fails to describe gravity at the subatomic level. Scientists are still searching for a theory of quantum gravity that combines gravity with other subatomic forces. On the quantum scale, gravity is thought to be a force transmitted by particles called gravitons. Ultimately, the nature of gravity remains a complex and philosophical question.
