Richard Feynman Explains What Everyone Gets Wrong About GRAVITY

Richard Feynman Explains What Everyone Gets Wrong About GRAVITY

You think you understand gravity—it's just Earth pulling you down, right? Wrong.

Step on a scale. You see your weight. But what are you actually FEELING? Not a pull downward—you're feeling the ground PUSHING UP. So where's this mysterious "pull" everyone talks about?
And here's something even stranger: the Moon has been "falling" toward Earth for billions of years, but it never gets closer. What kind of pull works like that?

In this video, inspired by Richard Feynman's legendary explanation from his Messenger Lectures on "The Character of Physical Law" at Cornell University (1964), we reveal the shocking truth: gravity isn't a force at all.

From why everything falls at the same rate (a hammer and a feather hit the ground together in a vacuum) to why Earth is perfectly round, from Newton's brilliant but incomplete picture to Einstein's mind-bending revelation that space and time themselves are curved—Feynman's approach transforms something you thought you understood into something far more beautiful and strange.
