You have no idea how much I would have wanted this as a teenager, it's a shame people don't seem to actually care about space.

What would you have done, /sci/? I'd be interested on the effects of micro-gravity on things affected by convection currents (eg. boiling water) although the limited range of temperatures (4 to 37 degrees Celsius) makes that somewhat more difficult. Perhaps something to do with magnets?

ISS general, I guess. Pic semi-related.

Any pictures of cool gravity stuff are also appreciated.

I want to see a clear plastic globe maybe the size of a basket ball with a fair amount of ferrofluid or iron dust for magnet experiments.

Please explain how this is possible?

conversion of energy combined with low friction.

Loss of potential--> gain in kinetic, ball goes faster, covers the ground faster.

When the chunk that was potential is converted back to potential by the rise in the track, it's going the same speed as it was at the beginning.
