00:01.000 --> 00:19.000
The Balance of Forces

00:19.000 --> 00:24.000
What would happen if the force of gravity were slightly greater than what it is today?

00:24.000 --> 00:28.000
Running and even walking would become impossible.

00:28.000 --> 00:35.000
Human beings and animals would have to expend much more energy in order to perform these actions than they do now.

00:35.000 --> 00:41.000
In that event, the energy sources on the earth, and particularly food sources, would quickly be used up.

00:41.000 --> 00:45.000
And what if the force of gravity were slightly weaker?

00:45.000 --> 00:49.000
Light objects would be unable to remain in place.

00:49.000 --> 00:56.000
The dust and sand particles raised up by the slightest breeze would take hours to settle.

00:56.000 --> 01:01.000
Raindrops would fall much more slowly, evaporating again before hitting the ground.

01:01.000 --> 01:07.000
Rivers would slow down, making it impossible to obtain hydroelectric energy from them.

01:07.000 --> 01:14.000
This property is based on Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, which states that

01:14.000 --> 01:18.000
attraction forces decrease as bodies move away from one another.

01:18.000 --> 01:25.000
According to this law, if the distance between two celestial bodies were to increase threefold,

01:25.000 --> 01:29.000
the gravitational force would decrease ninefold.

01:29.000 --> 01:33.000
Or if the distance were halved, the force would rise fourfold.

01:33.000 --> 01:39.000
This law explains why it is that the orbits of the earth, the moon, and the planets are regular.

01:39.000 --> 01:45.000
The laws of physics are in fact an explanation produced by human beings of the order created by Allah.

01:45.000 --> 01:52.000
Were there no such law, and if a star's gravitational attraction decreased less as distance increased,

01:52.000 --> 01:58.000
then the orbits of the planets would not be elliptical, and the planets would follow a spiral course,

01:58.000 --> 02:01.000
falling directly towards the sun.

02:01.000 --> 02:14.000
If the opposite were to apply, then the gravitational attraction of far distant stars would suppress that of the sun,

02:14.000 --> 02:17.000
and the earth would be pulled ever further away from the sun.

02:17.000 --> 02:23.000
As a result, the earth would either burn up as it drew ever closer to the sun,

02:23.000 --> 02:27.000
or else freeze at absolute zero as it moved away from it.

02:33.000 --> 02:36.000
The current Big Bang Theory is the best explanation yet.

02:36.000 --> 02:43.000
To me, the concept of God is the logical outcome of the study of the immense universe that lies around us.

02:43.000 --> 02:48.000
So, I'll talk to you through this because I need to capture informed by the books that I know will be expected

02:48.000 --> 02:49.000
from this present bit of reality and has what also happened to kami.

02:49.000 --> 02:50.000
Remember to all find out from our endlessly111 developer from 1967,

02:50.000 --> 02:52.180
to

02:52.180 --> 02:52.500
the E.

02:52.500 --> 03:07.800
Now we've introduced you through working the past 10,

03:09.000 --> 03:12.000
yes I mean theology of the game Frage goes by.
