The term "Gravity" should be relegated to the past such as "ether" was in the early 1900's.
Here is a definition of "ether" from a 1952 dictionary which was probably a reprint of an earlier book:
"The supposed subtle atmosphere in space beyond the Earth's atmosphere; a hypothetical medium of extreme tenuity and elasticity supposed to be diffused throughout all space (as well as among the molecules of which solid bodies are composed), and to be the medium of the transmission of light and heat."
Is Gravity, gravitons, dark energy and the sorts the ether of today?

The organized energy that is the atom loses potential energy constantly, the end result of which it transforms into disorganized energy (heat).
Here is an example:
The ground we walk on at the surface of the Earth, is composed of atoms (organized energy) which have a higher potential than the atoms 50 Km below our feet (disorganized energy, lower potential, higher entropy).
Matter many kilometers below our feet have less potential because of their position in this huge mass of matter (of varying entropy)that we call Earth.
This is because the potential of the atom tends towards zero towards the center of massive bodies.By doing so it releases its energy (more heat).
The more massive, the faster the atom loses potential energy because the greater is the potential difference between the center of the body and its surface.
Gravity is the continual change in potential of the atom. This is why the atom accelerates.
Is this not straight forward and simple?
I must say that after trying to convey this concept over the past years, that I have totally failed.
Time to move on to other things......

Anytime a match is lit there is a transformation of some mass into energy but we think of that as a dumb ol chemical reaction. But, make a fission bomb and geewiz we have mass transforming into energy. The reverse is more subtile and so less noticed than explosives but plants transform energy into mass. This is also done in particle accelerators. The main problem is how the information is understood by the densest stuff on Earth-the space between the ears of humans.

i agree with you but i'm not sure if it is misunderstanding or not asking deeper. for instance i have asked this question to chemists before and all i got back some talk of reactions which is not what i'm after. the question is,what is going on inbetween the electron shells and the nucleous of the atom,there is suppose to be all this space here,surely there is more than empty space here.
my thoughts are that perhaps energy is being pasted between the electrons and the nucleous and that this causes certain configurations within this space,for instance the quick release in a explosion of energy etc.
just a thought.
i'm not really able to make a comment on what you guys are talking about here,but i'm following the best i can.sort of understanding but only bits.
