Default Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory

Next year maybe.

You cannot say if gravity is "weak" or "not weak" unless you compare it to the other 3 forces (or interactions, which is the better word) that we know of: electromagnetism, weak and strong.
Compared to those the gravity is really really really weak: Let the gravity have the strength of 1 then the next stronger interaction (the weak one) has a strength of 1*10^25.
But since gravity is only additive and has an unlimited range (the others are either very short or can cancel each other out) it is the dominating interaction on the large scale.
