Question

Everything in the universe everything else why do we not attract each other

Answer 1

Answer:

because we are small

Answer 2

Answer:

we do attract each other . every human attracts every other human and every human also attracts the earth, the moon ,the sun and all other objects in the universe.the only glitch is that we all do not attract every object in the universe with the same intensity.

let us get a clear picture of this. gravitational force between two objects is given by

F=Gm1m2/r^2

G= gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2

let m1=60kg and m2 =70kg

and let them be separated by 10 meters

then the force on each of them becomes a mere 2.8*10^-9 newtons

this is too negligible to affect us in an observable manner or in a detectable way.the same when applied for a man of 60 kg and a star of 2*10^30 kg separated by a distance of 146 million kilometers makes it of the order of a few newtons .(the star we are talking about is sun ).

the force between two planets on the other hand is of larger order of magnitude. So it becomes clear that although every object in the universe attracts every other body in the universe, the force varies due to distance and the masses. the fainter the force more difficult it is to feel.

it could be given a general relativistic approach:

Einstein said that space and time are interwoven into a single continuum called space-time and on a 2d or 3d scale we can have one example

let us take a soft bed and two balls , one an iron ball of weight 20kg and another iron ball of 200g.

which one do you think would make a deeper depression on the surface of the soft bed ?

of course the 20kg iron ball and if it makes a depression big enough and the 200g ball lies in that depressed region then there is a possibility that the lighter one rolls down towards the heavier one. this proved that more massive the body ,greater is the dimple or depression on space-time fabric .the ones away from the depressed region would not experience the pull towards the massive object in a way .

so smaller the objects , smaller is their depression region and hence for two small objects less chances are there of both of them falling towards each other or both of them even detecting the pull exerted by each other.

so force between small objects in the universe generally goes undetected due to its feeble magnitude but yes the attraction ,it does exist .

i hope the explanation above gives a proper answer to the question asked .

any suggestions or corrections relevant are gladly welcome:)
