Yes, I was referencing a somewhat old song. :D
I don't tend to link YouTube things while I'm at work. ;)Liranys |
I didn't start "fitting in" with my peers until I was in my late teens. Before that, I think I was pretty much seen as that odd girl in class who's constantly got her head in the clouds. I was a serious day dreamer and not normal at all. Had very few friends growing up. Got into Ren Faires after my first year in college and one of my friends from ren faire invited me to a D&D game. Have played since.

Well the problem lies in the question of,"what is up?"
Up is a very relative term that actually has no meaning when you are not actively on a planet
Not true. You simply define up as "The direction opposite the net force of gravity" and you're done. No matter how gravity is affecting you, and it always will be to some extent, that will always hold true.

Um except in cases of Null gravity...

Never exists. Your center would have to exist in an exact point where all gravity exactly equals out. You will never find that spot. Gravity always affects you, even if we consider it negligible for all intents and purposes.

Well, okay, gravity that might as well be null because you can't feel it. Like, you know, outer space?

Would still have a net gravitational effect, and therfore have an up by my definition.
My definition is Technically correct in all situations where the exact net force of gravity is not zero.

But it might as well be zero, because more than likely you can't tell which way you are being pulled, therefore, while technically there is an up, you wouldn't know what it was because the gravitational pull is so negligent it's unnoticeable. So, while not technically null gravity, for all intents and purposes it might as well be. So then, when you don't know which way gravity is pulling, which way is up?

That's why its technically correct :P Up still exists, even if you're incapable of determining it.
That's like saying up does not exist for a person caught inside of a wave because they so dazed by the turning as to be incapable of determining it. Our inability to ascertain a state of being does not mean that it no longer exists. It just means we lack the means to discern it.
Sorry this is 5 years of debate between physicists and engineers lol. We put a lot into this one cause we used that joke a lot.

LOL. Yeah, up exists, but it might as well not because it's not noticeable. But that's one of the problems astronauts have because the body can't feel the pull of gravity so the eyes and body contradict each other. I understand that keeping equilibrium in space is not easy. And I never said up didn't exist, I said up could not be determined. :)
