we take a lot for granted - including gravity. the way our bodies have naturally evolved to function and the way we've designed nearly everything, assumes that gravity always pulls us towards the center of the earth. so what happens when youre in space, and gravity is weak and doesnt have a preferred direction?
some astronauts decided to add an alka-seltzer pill to a glob of water to see what would happen! it wasnt what i expected...
very cool!
ReplyDeletethat is pretty awesome! i thought it would explode.
ReplyDeleteThat's astounding (and kind of grossed me out)!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteSome nitpicking: gravity isn't weak and lacking a preferred direction for astronauts in orbit around the Earth. The astronauts are in free fall so they *feel* zero gravity.
Ok That was awesome.
