As a kid I used to dream that I could levitate by sort of straining my muscles upward and lifting myself away from the ground. It would be pretty cool to do that IRL.

Pathetic. I can easily overcome the gravitational pull of all the milky way just with my pinkie.

Then gravity reminds you who's boss the next time you trip over your own feet

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Nope. Gravity goes both ways. Actually it's the curve of space time pushing you toward another mass. And you can only overcome because your mass is puny next to the earth.

Gravity is the only fundamental force that can bend time tho

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Isn't it the other way around? Mass bends spacetime and gravity is the result?

I read this in the voice of Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
