What is the origin of gravity?
A: For a long time, people wondered what makes the planets go around the sun and why anything thrown up comes down. The English scientist Isaac Newton probed the origins of this mysterious force and came up with the laws of gravitation. According to these laws, which we would have learnt in school, the force acting between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. The mathematics of the laws suggested that the origin of gravity was the object itself. That is, by virtue of its own mass any object may have an influence on another (massive) object. But in his final analysis Newton concluded that massive bodies gravitated at all because god had deemed it so. It wasn't until Albert Einstein published his general theory of relativity that scientists acquired a clearer picture of gravity's origins. According to this theory, gravity is a property of space and time taken together (to be exact, of four-dimensional spacetime). It isn't technically a force that causes objects to move one way or another. Instead, the presence of energy and momentum in a region of spacetime has the effect of deforming spacetime there (like when you lay your head on a pillow). Objects moving there may seem to have been deflected from their straight path by a force. This is gravity. First published on August 29, 1996; updated today.

Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya empowers Tamenglong students in Manipur's Naga Hills
By Bharat Pandey Tamenglong (Manipur) [India], June 10 (ANI): Tucked in the lush hills of Tamenglong, Manipur's Naga heartland, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya shines as a beacon of opportunity for bright, underprivileged students. Affiliated with CBSE and home to over 500 students, the school blends academics with multicultural values, patriotism, and multilingual learning. Spread across 30 acres, the campus features smart classrooms, hostels, a library, and staff quarters. With teachers from across India, the co-ed school fosters equality, diversity, and all-around development. 'The facilities are very good. We get free books, free uniforms, and free food. We even stay on board for free. We study for free. Here teachers are very qualified. They are from different states. They provide us knowledge about speaking Hindi, English, and other languages', says Zaeng Pamliu Gangmei, a student. Beyond books, the school sparks hands-on learning in science labs and fuels creativity through art and crafts. Here, every child is inspired to dream big--whether in science or the arts. Another student, Janghiam Lung Pong says, 'I want to become an astronomer when I grow up. Because I am inspired to discover new things in the galaxy. There is very much blind space left in the universe, that is why I want to discover them. That's the reason I want to become an astronomer. To achieve my goal, I would have to go to ISRO, one of the biggest organisations in India.' Setting up a quality school in remote Tamenglong is a commendable educational step. With facilities on par with top schools in metropolitians, the administration is grateful to the government. K. C. Alex Panmei, Principal of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Tamenglong, said, 'We are very much grateful to the government of India for giving us such an excellent par excellence school for children who are deprived of facilities.' Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Tamenglong continues to empower young minds, bridging dreams with opportunity and paving the way for a brighter, more educated future in this Naga-majority region.
