        @neiltyson Incorrect, sir. Even an object as small as a human body can exert a gravitational attraction on another object.

        @neiltyson Why? The earth's gravitational pull strongly affects everything in the movie.

        @neiltyson Agreed, but then it would lose its gravitas. And be less...attractive.

        @neiltyson Actually no. Gravity's still there. But "Weightlessness" not as catchy for a title
