Gravitythose

Gravitythose is a term used in speculative discussions and in some works of fiction to denote a nonstandard approach to gravity. The term appears to be a neologism combining "gravity" with the plural pronoun "those," signaling a focus on multiple, context-dependent gravitational effects rather than a single universal field. Because gravitythose is not part of established physics, there is no widely accepted definition.

In conceptual terms, gravitythose is described in two broad strands. In one, it is a thought experiment proposing that gravitational interactions can vary with the informational state or relational context of the participating systems, akin to relational or gauge-based ideas in general relativity. In another, gravitythose is used as a narrative device to explore worlds where gravity strengthens or weakens in different regions or for different species, enabling varied technological and biological constraints. Some writers and commentators treat gravitythose as a didactic tool to discuss the limits of current gravitational theories, rather than as a physical theory with predictive power.

Criticism centers on the lack of empirical motivation and clear mathematical formulation. Proponents emphasize its usefulness for illustrating relational aspects of gravity and as a vivacious metaphor in fiction, rather than as a replacement for general relativity or quantum gravity.

Because gravitythose does not appear in mainstream scientific literature, reliable sources are limited to speculative essays, science fiction, or discourse in online forums.
