        @neiltyson I came up with a new theory I would like to send to you. It involves the inner workings of the atom and how E is related to M.

        @neiltyson In what direction would a plant grow in zero-G, if lighted evenly from all directions?

        @tortugaconqueso Directly away from the root, and spreading out evenly if given enough time.

        @neiltyson Dr. Tyson recently certain Muslim groups in US have declared that Mecca is to the North East of the US, is this correct? How?

        @neiltyson If you are falling towards the larger body of a binary system, however, you would feel the stress of the smaller body's gravity.

        @neiltyson Of course, there's no such thing as "zero G." Can't escape gravity no matter where you go.
