When I Was Making This Video About the Tides, I Realized Something About The Traveler...
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGnVeaBbPmE]As I was making this video about the tides, and how "gravitation" is not what causes tidal effects[/url], I realized something. [b]The Traveler is massive and yet it produces no gravity as far as we know.[/b] Something that large hovering above the round earth should create some kind of gravitational pull if you accept mainstream round earth physics. But to all appearances, the Traveler does not have any noticeable effect on gravity. Kind of curious huh? It makes me wonder if Bungie is at least open minded when it comes to the Flat/round earth controversy.

Edited by ELIBRIUS: 8/25/2016 12:17:15 PMBecause the relative size of an object isn't what dictates it gravitational pull, it's the mass and density of it, since from what we can tell the traveller is some sort of machine meaning that under its surface it isn't as dense as ground and dirt and such meaning it will have a lot less mass which in turn dictates how much gravity it would have, it is theoretically possible for a celestial body smaller than earth to have a higher gravity because it has a much higher density with more mass therefore increasing its gravitational influence, but in the travelers case it would be safe to assume that even given its size it wouldnt have enough mass to have a noticeable effect , even if it did have more mass it would still have to compete with earths own gravity which means it would have to have close to or more than roughly 9metres per second(earths gravity) to even make a minuscule effect on the area and objects around it
