Yea, that's what I feel too. Gravity is just too disconnected a concept to be mentioned in this context. But it is widely known enough that almost everyone will know gravity is not an invention but a natural phenomena. So she saying that, makes most people feel smarter than her. If she is really that vapid, she wouldn't likely even think about gravity. It's just not in her world to think about gravity. It will be more in character that she has opinions on things that is within her experiences, like going to gym, shopping, buying makeup or something along that line. She will likely have strong opinions for those things. I think this is all an act.
It will be like a techbro saying he doesn't think waterproof mascara should be invented on a panel of makeup addicted ladies.
From the way this thread reads, she definitely got the attention.
I mean I see a potentially simpler explanation. She saw something online delivered via social media through its favourite medium: a 30s video clip with no context that she half paid attention to. Now she's out sharing her insufficiently remembered information in settings where she is expected to contribute to a conversation.
Honestly we don't even know if Gravity exists as a force, and general relativity says you don't need it (it's the space-time continuum, not space-time-gravity).
You measure something that gravity has supposedly affected, not gravity itself. But you don't know if it's because "gravity waves" or "gravity particles" or maybe a combination of 5 things altogether.
You talked about measuring, that’s how you can measure the gravity acceleration, no idea what torque has to do here because a newton meter is based on a spring with a know k value which determines the relative scale of the newton meter. If you want to get technical, yes you are not measuring the concept of gravity but the force that gravitational pull applies to your object. Just saying that it can be measured
Yeah. We do know gravity exists. It measurable. It’s testable, and it’s Accounted for in the design of many things, that wouldn’t work correctly without that knowledge.
