F = M_r a, where M_r is mass / sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)?

You are not meant to understand the universe. F = Ma is good enough :D

(Recently saw interesting podcast with Steven Wolfram, they guy behind Mathematica.
He has a theory about quantum elements of space time or something, which should be much smaller than Planck length.
A feature of those ‘space time particles' would cause gravity, he thinks. And he has a team of researchers to develop and simulate the theory….’)

I have my own theories. LOL I'll try not to derail the thread though.
