    Arthur Chu Retweeted Neil deGrasse Tyson

    There's an episode of Boy Meets World where Cory and Shawn talk their way out of getting a question wrong, "How much does the Moon weigh", saying it weighs nothing because it's just floating in space This is the same erroneous definition of "gravity" and "weight" used herehttps://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/1231983382105640966 …

    And of course, the film “Gravity” (2013) should instead have been named “Zero Gravity”. pic.twitter.com/DTiH2NdxKw

        "Zero-G" does not properly stand for "zero gravity", it's "zero-G" as in "zero G-force", with G-force meaning not gravity itself but the force exerted by the "floor" you're on, whether that pressure is caused by gravity or not (most G-forces experienced by pilots are NOT gravity)

        Anyway, sure, there's a certain sense in which Tyson's tweet is in fact correct, just as Cory and Shawn were correct - in most instances when laypeople say "weight" they mean "apparent weight" - but it's not one most pedants would defend

        But it's a reference to the gravity of her situation and the larger human condition 😣

        It's because the English language here is fundamentally confused I'm not saying no one ever uses the original term "gravities" as a substitute for "Gs", just that this usage is confusing and problematic

        It's amazing when someone tries to be technically correct and is actually technically incorrect. Especially when they should know better and are a big name who likes to quibble about these things.

        Plus a lot of his stuff is ultimately "well that's what you get when someone turns into a 'science guy' without sticking to their particular field". But his particular field is, well, astrophysics.
