I hate the "Mythconceptions" title. It sounds like I have a lisp when I say it, but that's what they used. Anything you disagree with? Anything surprise you?
The true purpose of Chastity Belts surprised me. And when I have a sore throat, milk makes it worse.

Bulls aren't colorblind - cattle (and other ruminants like goats, deer, etc...) see blues, yellows, and greens yet all are kinda dimmed down. Best example I can think of is the colors you see at dusk and dawn - everything's kinda muted but you can still tell what the colors are.

if george washington wasn't growing cannabis for consumption then this journal entry makes no fricking sense. "began to separate the male from the female .. rather too late" seeds aren't gonna stop you from hemp production in any manner

I'm not sure I agree with the 'glass is a solid'. It's too much fun to think of it as a liquid.

Wheres the one about Bama and the 14 national championships?

This is a mythconception (ugh, I don't like that word either). We don't know if Gravity is a pull or a push. We deduce it's a pull because of our inability to jump off the earth. Gravity could just as easily be space pushing us to the ground. We don't yet know what space is either.

Glass is a solid in the sense that it holds its shape and pretty much acts as a solid. It isn't a crystal though, more of its own classification of material. The molecules that make up the glass aren't ordered like a crystal, but they are stuck in place unlike a liquid.
Anyone with more than a semester of materials should feel free to correct any mistakes in my explaination.

Force is a vector, so does the push/pull matter at all beside the direction the force is acting?

The graviton is thought to be the exchange particle for the gravity force. That's assuming gravity is a force similar to the weak, strong and electromagnetic forces, all of which have their own carriers. Gravitons, of course, have not been detected.
Another theory is that space exerts a push on particles relative to their mass. Is this a force? Is space the opposite of Dark Energy? Does space push things together while Dark Energy pushes things apart? Lots of questions for theoretical physicists.

It accelerates a mass. Good enough for me.

Interesting questions and a good reason why I'm doing an applied science and not theoretical physics. Motherfrick a wave function.

Interesting. But we do know that the mass of an object creates more gravity... So in relation to the object in question it would be "pull" to the object. I see what you're getting at but for simplicity I think "pull" makes sense.
This may be completely wrong, but I think of gravity as a trampoline and balls placed on the trampoline. If I stand in the center of the trampoline, the objects will fall to me. The more weight I have, the faster or harder the fall.
