Gravity seems holographic. What does that mean for reality?

    Just as acceleration through space causes [the same effect as] gravity, could regular gravity be the movement through TIME?

    Could gravity be a facet of time as electricity is to magnetism and vice versa? and the reason we cannot "isolate" gravity is because it's interwoven with time?

    But then it would be weird that photos who don't experience time are affected by gravity..

    Or maybe space, time and gravity are a trinity?

    (no I'm not high, but maybe I should be)

      is this why i increase in mass and volume every year?

        Do you also attract more things?

          no, and it's called the antigravitational theorem, taken to be proof that actually there is such a thing as "negative mass". To put it in vernacular terms, you do get more massive but not without a shrinkage in social currency. "Something's gotta give" is the textbook formulation of the principle.
