I am inspired by the unending trust the people of Earth have in gravity. We cannot say it is something, yet we recognize it as a force. Gravity keeps us on the ground, so we do not float away. At any moment our gravity can disappear and cause us to drift like balloons toward the sky. Why do we trust gravity? Maybe because it has always been there for us. The trust you place in gravity is directly related to the amount of time it has already helped you stay on the Earth's surface. Trusting that simple fact will help you live without worry, for you believe you will not float away.

  1. If the Earth spun a little slower on its axis, I wonder what we would feel. Would we have to change all of the rules for athletic competitions if our gravity all of a sudden became less? Interesting thought.

  2. Anything could happen, and if what you described did occur, than the oxygen would float off into space. We would have to have space suits on Earth! I would even try doing a high jump during a track meet in my space suit.
