Mohandas Gandhi,
known as 'Mahatma Gandi', 1869-1948.
See the movie Gandi. Gandi was an
Indian nationalist and spiritual leader who developed the practice of nonviolent
disobedience based on writings of Henry
David Thoreau.
A couple of Gandi's quotes shows his heart:."I
honor within you the place of love, of light, of truth, of peace. When
you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there's only
one of us." "Vaccination is
a barbarous practice and one of the most fatal of all the delusions current
in our time. Conscientious
objectors to vaccination should stand alone, if need be, against the
whole world, in defense of their conviction."
Mahatma Gandhi, was educated in law at University
College, London. In 1891, after having
been admitted to the British bar, Gandhi returned to India and attempted
to establish a law practice in Bombay (now Mumbai), with little success.
Two years later an Indian firm with interests in South Africa retained
him as legal adviser in its office in Durban, South Africa.
Arriving in Durban, Gandhi found himself treated as a member of an inferior
race. He was appalled
at the widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian
immigrants to South Africa. He threw himself into the struggle for elementary
rights for Indians.
Gandhi remained in South Africa for 20 years, suffering
imprisonment many times. In 1896, after being attacked and beaten by white
South Africans, Gandhi began to teach a policy of passive resistance to
and noncooperation with the South African authorities. Part of the inspiration
for this policy came from the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, whose influence
on Gandhi was profound.
Gandhi also acknowledged his debt to the teachings of Christ
and to the 19th-century American writer Henry
David Thoreau, especially to Thoreau's famous essay.Civil

gluon.noun,.plural.gluons
elementary
particles thought to bind quarks
together. A gluon is the gauge
boson of part of the interacting forces of gravity
and electromagnetism
and used to be referred to as the Strong
Interaction. Gluons exert an
astounding
strong force binding quarks, a force that resists diminishing
when quarks are pulled apart; and, unusually, the farther the quarks are
separated, the greater is the energy that builds between them and the more
unavailing are efforts to disunite them; this is the
antithesis
to what occurs when
the electromagnetic
force binds electrons
to the nucleus by using its
photon
energy vehicles
glycerin also spelled
glycerine.noun,.plural.glycerins,

glycerin is a preparation
of glycerol; from French 'glycérine' and from Greek
'glukeros' meaning 'sweet'

Golgi apparatus.noun
an assembly of vesciles
and folded membranes within the
cytoplasm
of cells, which assembly branches from
the endoplasmic reticulum
to carry proteins to this apparatus
that modifies, stores and in turn transports these modified secretory-protein
products (enzymes and hormones)
as needed by the cell; the vesciles deliver the product to the component
of the cell calling for a particular
parcel; like you may call a manufacturer for a product and give your address,
expecting delivery by a courier
gravity.noun

Physics:.gravity
is not really a force but a name we give to an occurrence due to pressure
of the mysterious dark matter-mass,
with perhaps also photons
and neutrinos playing a
part; it's not possible to tell if you are being pulled downward by gravity
or accelerating upward; gravity and acceleration are equal
Can the result of resistance to movement (movement
of the photons, neutrinos, etc., the dark matter being the inert
carrier) by mass (mass held in place by dark matter), be really called
gravity?
Gravity is one of the two so-called
fundamental
'forces' necessary for all existence thoroughout the multiverse; the other
being electromagnetism
and from these two another two were concocted,
that of the strong interaction
(or, the strong force), and the
weak interaction (or, the weak force). But these are old news as we
say. There's new great
proven information on it.
Gravity is
said to be the
phenomenon that
causes an attractive force between any two bodies that have mass.
It isn't this so-called 'attractive
force' but rather.electromagnetism
which causes what's called gravity. What truly is gravity has been beyond
physics for a long time, but not any more.
Falling objects descend
at 32 feet per second (9.8 meters) depending on their weight and air resistance.
