gravity

""Their strength and tolerance for gravity far exceeds our own!

Currently "gravity" pulls stories down as a function of time.

We do precision tests of gravity and searches for forces weaker than gravity.

The gravity of a static body fills space, or is space, and as such can't be meaningfully said to have a speed.

A quick Mars timeline:Mars was formed around the time Earth was, but it was blessed with only 11% of Earth's mass and less than 40% of Earth's gravity field.

In short, over distances smaller than the diameter of a hair, nobody knows if gravity acts.

Intellectually, I know my average karma shouldn't mean anything to me, but the fact that it's there for all the world to see exerts a gravity of its own. "You get what you measure.

I'd recommend spending some time with Cave Story to get a feel for how to make gravity really work in the player's favor, rather than against them.

String theory would suggest that, at short-enough distances, gravity should get unexpectedly stronger.

If time were replaced by a counter that increments with each story upvote across HN, gravity would be normalized for activity and timing would matter less.

And when you get into backwatering high gravity beers everything becomes even more complex.- Making wine and cider is hard compared to brewing beer.

Solutions to the Cosmological Constant problem [2] may suggest that gravity should turn off at distances shorter than the diameter of a hair.

This does not prove that GR is correct; rather, it is a piece of evidence that implies GR is more likely to be a correct description of gravity than what we previously believed [1].

We are pretty sure that gravity works the same way on Earth as on the Sun, and the same on the Sun as on other starts in our galaxy, and the same way here as it does on galaxies far far away.

If you get raw materials back to Earth orbit, depending on the application, you may then need to get them back to Earth, which granted is significantly easier than escaping Earth's gravity; and6.

Since the ball motion, physics, and coordinates were all in floating point, and the ball is constantly being pushed "down" the sloped table by the gravity vector in every frame, we found that floating point error would gradually accumulate until the ball's position was suddenly on the other side of the barrier!

I guess I was watching a different movie, because I saw:- advanced handheld medical scanners and treatments- a genetically engineered human with super strength, health, and intelligence- suspended animation that keeps humans alive for centuries- artificial gravity- faster than light communication and travel- materials strong enough to maintain structural integrity after falling from space and plowing through a city- matter transference across light yearsI think the issue here is that author only paid attention to the elements that seem familiar, and dismissed the rest as fantasy.
