Worst explanations for gravity?
|
Gravity is God's love
 Thought everyone knew. 42

The first part is true, but, "hurtling upwards through space" doesn't necessarily negate that the earth is "accelerating upwards through space." The only difference is that "accelerating" is more precise than "hurtling" because it has an added information to it. Therefore, either terms could have been used while (roughly) conveying the same concept.  RE: Worst explanations for gravity?

It pays to be precise. Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Bill Maher once joked that gravity is a conspiracy by Jews to get your loose change.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

When I was a child my grandmother explained to me
1. That Hell was the center of the earth. 2. Hell was a vacuum for our sins. 3. There was a lot of sin on earth 4. and thus Hell's vacuum held us down. 
Wow
 I guess adam and eve didn't have to worry about that pesky gravity, no wonder they chose to sin, floating about all day must have become irritating, hell a strong wind would have dragged them off... If I was in their position I'd do anything for some gravity too

Since acceleration upward is the only form of "hurtling" that would meet with the superficial approval of the equivalence principle, specifying hurtling without specifying acceleration is somewhat like calling yourself "organism" when asked what species you belong to. :p (September 9, 2011 at 8:53 pm)8BitAtheist Wrote: When I was a child my grandmother explained to me Since the pull of vacuum would be at it's strongest when there is absolutely nothing to fill it, that would suggest if there is no sin on earth to fill the vacuum, we would get sucked into hell all the faster. Conversely, If we sin truly tirelessly, the vacuum of hell would be filled sooner and the gravity would stop. |
