Viper Report post Posted September 12, 2005 Hi everyone. Had to share this, it solves so many questions the scientists have been bafled over for centuries. (or is it just me) Ben was watching one of his many cartoons and asked why things float in space. I gave him a brief explanation about gravity (brief because I know very little) He then said. "Why isn't there any gravity in space then" I was just about to say I don't know when he said, "oh, thats right, because all the planets would fall down and hit us." I really didn't know what to say so just said errr yes thats it. It made me think. Why have I never thought of it that way. It's brilliant. Made me smile anyway. Viper.
