minus-squareTarogar@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up129·5 months agoBut do they understand the gravity of that discovery?
minus-squareSHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up25·5 months agoOnly a little, it is microgravity after all.
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 months agoUm acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.
minus-squareuntorquer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·5 months agoWrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.
minus-squaresomeacnt@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoAh, good old relativity. Btw where did you learn about epicycles?
minus-squareuntorquer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoName any documentary on the history of astrology e.g. The Cosmos
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoI believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth
minus-squareMisterFrog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoOh, seems I’m wrong, well that’s a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn’t that much lower in low earth orbit :/
minus-squareKlear@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months agoRemember that gravity is relative. The earth is accelerating the ISS astronauts same as us, but relative to their inertial system they are weightless. There is no actually there. Relativity is relativity.

That’s what microgravity means.

Nope, that is not so.
