picture a sheet, a big big rubber sheet the earth's in the middle everybody's on top thus the earth can influence the way we drop they think they're pretty great they think their theory's something special electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak but the single most famous force is the one that's not don't worry we won't shoot off into space don't worry i asked you to stay but your mass made you weight all i need is the air that i breathe and it's stuck to the world via earth's gravitational pull 9.8 meters per second squared is the rate of gravity's acceleration and that's true for the blue whale and rickettsia (rickettsia is the world's smallest living organism) on my TI-85 i did a foot-conversion calculation got 32.152166 (6666667) gravity's action is proportional to mass but its counterpart inertia is proportional to mass, too the rate is a constant and we can see that clearly and since its cause is geometric it's never going to stop so you never have to wonder if people will shoot off into space like jobeth williams and timothy leary don't worry we won't shoot off into space don't worry i asked you to stay but your mass made you weight all i need is the air that i breathe and it's stuck to the world via earth's gravitational pull all i need is the air that i breathe and it's stuck to the world via earth's gravitational (mass proportional) non situational (fundamental principle) it's revolutionary and rotational earth's sensational pull
