His theory of gravity (everything in the universe is exponentially growing in size at a continuous rate, shrinking the gaps between things) was a fascinating thought experiment for me as a kid and I enjoyed thinking through how it could work and why it wouldn't work. Finding out later that he at least at one point took it seriously as a potential explanation for how the universe works was very surprising to me.

- torginus 9mo agoI'm too brain fogged to think through this, but as long as you can make the math work out the same, this theory is as valid as any other (I don't think you can though)
