The statement that "all objects in the universe are attracted to other objects" is a fundamental principle of physics known as Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

It's not a "state" in the usual sense, but rather a law that describes how objects interact with each other due to their mass. It states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is:

* Proportional to the product of their masses: More massive objects exert a stronger gravitational pull.

* Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers: The farther apart the objects are, the weaker the gravitational force.

So, it's not that objects are "in a state" of being attracted; rather, they possess a property called mass that inherently causes them to attract other objects.
