Or is it?
Are you tired of things just floating off into space? Do you wish you could just walk around the Earth without falling off into the void?
We've got good news for you: Gravity is just a thing, and you can do better than just accepting it.
Gravity is a force that keeps you on the ground, but did you know that it's also a force that keeps your socks down?
It's a complex phenomenon that's still not fully understood by scientists, but we're here to break it down for you in simple terms.
Let's start with the basics: Gravity is a force that attracts mass towards each other. Yeah, yeah, we know, it's not like it's rocket science or anything.
Myth 1: Gravity is a force that keeps you grounded.
Nope, it's actually a force that keeps you in line.
We're not saying you should just start floating off into space, but come on, it's not that hard to keep your feet on the ground.
Myth 2: Gravity is what keeps the Earth spinning.
Uh, actually, that's the Earth's core for you.
Gravity is just a thing that's there, but it's not like it's the reason the Earth spins or anything.
From "Gravity's Rainbow" to "Gravity's Got a Hold on You," gravity has been the star of many a pop culture reference.
We're not saying we're experts, but we're pretty sure that's not a real thing.
