@neiltyson I assume you've encountered that variety of person who thinks there is no gravity in space?

@GodFreeWorld@neiltyson We ARE in space. -
@opusatrum@neiltyson Yes, well, tell that to the creationists who continually insist that gravity doesn't occur in the vacuum of space. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson So technically I could fly if I try really really hard? -
@Crobama The trick is falling and missing the ground.

@neiltyson Did you know that in Low Earth orbit if you stand nadir/zenith that the gravity gradient is 1 microgee per meter? - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Since all G extends to inf. then the closest thing to 0G is in location of "exact" balance between all ("near") objects, correct?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson I disagree. I move through space constantly without rockets firing, unfortunately, and I experience more gravity than I care to.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
