Abstract
The gravity which we feel everyday is still the most mysterious force of Nature. Even today, physicists do not know how to explain it, how to unify it with the three other forces, viz, electro-magnetic, nuclear and weak forces of the Standard Model of Physics. They do not how know is the exact nature of the graviton which carries the force of gravity in analogy with the photon which carries out the electromagnetic force (2). Here we consider simply the ordinary gravity force known from Newton’s law, according to which two masses m and m’ at distance r, are instantaneously and mutually subject to the attractive force in the now well-known inverse square law
