Gravity is still something that has an effect from those sort of quantum mechanical photons, presumably have a gravitational effect. And so for example, on the earth, you know, when you drop something, it falls under gravity roughly nine point eight meters per second per second. You could also use timing variations in atomic clocks to figure out gravity. If you're near a mountain, for example, there's usually a bit of extra gravity associated with kind of the the mountain,. and things will fall a little bit towards the mountain, not just straight down towards the centre of the earth. So i'm thanks for joining us. For more information on stephen's publications, live coting streams and this
