How far along are we as a world, mastering gravity? Like anti gravity on earth. And enacting gravity on the ISS? in c/askscience@lemmy.world

We’re not even sure we know what gravity is. The best explanation I’ve seen is that it relates to the entropy between two systems. We know how to counteract this by applying energy (every time I stand up I do this, but it’s not exciting), but not turn it off or reverse it.

Didn’t we already know this? That’s why golf balls have dimples, right?

You have a point here. It’s not so much the employees are choosing the software. Employers are telling the Employees which software they have invested in.

(Edit)

Or which service contract they have paid for. Big companies want to have someone they can call when the tool doesn’t work as expected.
