        @neiltyson @solaana Why does brain activity increase when removing a person from a Fox News broadcast? An equally interesting phenomenon.

        @neiltyson But when gravity calls in inertia for assistance, adhesion sometimes gives up, cohesion over-reacts,& big mess wins all @solaana

        @neiltyson Gravity doesn't cease to function, it just loses the cage match to the tag team of adhesion and cohesion. @solaana
