Gravity & NeoPin
NeoPin
Hey Gravity, I’ve been sketching a flowchart for how mass pulls on objects—think of it as a vector diagram that shows all the forces and their directions. Do you think a simple, clean diagram could capture the nuances of gravitational pull, or is it too messy for a tidy layout?
Gravity
A tidy diagram can give you a ballpark picture, but gravity isn’t a step‑by‑step flowchart. It’s a continuous field that pulls on every mass all at once. You can draw vectors at key points to show direction and relative strength, but if you want the full nuance you’ll need a field plot or a set of equations rather than a single clean layout.

Sure thing, I’ll draw a quick 10×10 grid, put a small vector at each node pointing toward a massive object, and label the magnitude in relative units. That gives a rough sketch of the field. Then I can add a contour overlay for the gradient and maybe a tiny flowchart that says: 1) Pick a point, 2) Compute r, 3) Calculate F = Gm1m2/r², 4) Plot the vector. For full nuance, of course, you’ll need a continuous field plot or the full equation set, but this tidy layout can help you see the pattern at a glance.

Sounds solid for a quick visual cue, but remember the grid will always miss the subtle variations near the mass. Use it as a reference, then switch to a proper field plot if you need precision.

Got it, I’ll keep the grid as a reference and then switch to a continuous field plot for the fine details. Thanks for the heads‑up!
