What was life like before gravity was discovered?

I bet I could have discovered that things go down even if i lived 1000 years ago

Things don't always go down. In Australia they go up. They always go towards the center of the earth

they always go down

toward your feet anon when standing normally that's down

"Gravity" =/= "things go down". "Gravity" is an abstract concept based on a fuckton of notions that you take for granted but are actually bizarre, like magical, invisible "forces" exerted by some vague concept of "mass" which causes a change in the rate of change of "displacement".

My feet are pointing down in Spain, which means the center of the earth is up on australia and new zealand

Why is gravity considered the weakest fundamental force? It's what hold planets and stars together. Entire galaxies even, and it's somehow the weakest?

>> No.15040722

>>15040721
Because it's just a side effect of the electromagnetic force.

Newton didn’t figure that he may fall down the stairs.

he figured the following identity: the reasons he fell down the stairs are the same reasons the moon keeps up in the sky.

He only had to invent calculus (and thus physics) for it, no big deal.

Dis nigga needed a fuckin' apple tree to prove things go down bruh things go down every week at yo mama's house

The apple tree is an apocryphal tale. In reality, Newton was a magician who inferred many of his ideas from alchemical texts and the astronomical studies of his day.

Gravity isn't strong enough to pull apart an atomic nucleus. Gravity isn't strong enough to pull a static-y balloon off a wall. And neutrons don't disintegrate under it either.

>> No.15042024

>>15042016
At least not from gravity generated by the Earth. Look how small protons and electrons and quarks are relative to the size of mass necessary to for gravity to overcome the forces holding these things together. Neutrons won't even degrade into their constituent quarks in neutron stars.
