Gravity follow up Question
I received a really great question concerning gravity after my previous article about Space-time, Quantum Mechanics, and the Cosmological argument for God. The question was raised: In addressing "why there is something rather than nothing" your article states: "Likewise, the related question of why there is something rather than nothing (within the universe) can also be explained. The answer is gravity. Entropy x gravity = clumping. This clumping of matter is what creates stars and planets. Gravity, in other words, is why we have something rather than nothing in the universe." Honest questions here: *Why is there something available to be clumped? You say gravity is the reason for there being something rather than nothing, but if there was nothing for gravity to act upon, there would still be nothing. *And isn't gravity a function of mass (mass of a something)?
