They might be more preoccupied holding nets under the rain clouds up on Neptune.

No, because that's where they come from and that's their water.

Using the possessive s apostrophe instead of an 'i' to hijack the wrong 'there'.

Booo.

Axcept you're pryze' with joy'.


A grammar info-graph when Auroria wakes up.

[Auroria]

He'll have to do with one about farting.

Which may be more appropriate anyway.



Can any of the smartypants divide the energy of an atomic bomb by the number of seconds in 6 years 9 months, to deduct the amount of energy in a fart per second?


I'm not fully convinced by this one.

[Auroria]

Not sure about this one either.

Have cockroaches been raised in space?

I love this one:

RIP John Glenn.

And if they were raised in space earths gravity would probably crush them.

True heroes and brave men all.

Interesting thought.

So far the only place we have to raise them Off Earth is the ISS. The gravity there is only 10%-ish less than at the surface of Earth. It is a fallacy that there is no gravity on the ISS.

The reason it looks like there is no gravity is because the ISS is falling to earth continuously but because of its huge orbital velocity it doesn't actual get there. Instead it is falling around the earth. Objects and people look as if they are weightless because of this, but the gravity is still there.




So roaches raised on the ISS would not be crushed if they were brought to earth.

Regardless of the reason the fact is they still don't experience gravity.
They may not be crushed but gravity would certainly have a negative effect on their performance.

[VocalNeal]

^ they do experience gravity, 89% of earths gravity. As gravity on the space station is 11% less than Earth.
So if they came to earth sure it would be different for a while, but like us humans they would soon strengthen up.

[Looper]

The fact that they are in a gravitational field is not relevant. The fact that they experience zero gravity is all that matters. That is Einstein's elevator thought experiment and in a nutshell.

[Takeovers]

The gravity field out at the ISS is not much weaker than on the surface of earth, true. But they don't experience gravity as they are in free fall.

[VocalNeal]

OK see what you mean they still experience gravity what they don't experience is weight.

[Takeovers]

OK see what you mean they still experience gravity what they don't experience is weight.

Actually it is worse than that.

There is no method to differentiate between free fall and no gravity. Except to observe your environment and determine from the fact that you are flying around earth that there must be gravity to hold you because otherwise you would fly straight, not in a circle.

[Luigi]

Space related: Whatever it is, I'd take Takeover's word on this.

[Takeovers]

I'd take Takeover's word on this.

Be careful with that. To actually be correct I would have to go into a deeper explanation for the case of flying around earth, involving flywheels and their behaviour.

Just look at the problems designing a O'Neill cylinder and why they usually come in pairs.

Thanks. But I think I'll just continue taking your word on it without reading the very fine detail, which I probably wouldn't understand anyway.

Before some smarty pants comes along, I don't know if that is actually true or not.

It's not totally wrong, you could make a lot of beer but it's methyl alcohol, that's the poisonous stuff that makes you go blind or kills ya.
