<Gravity> I dimly remember my math teacher telling us that the accelerative speed of gravity was 32 feet per second per second. What would happen if a person in an elevator, that is going down at 32 feet per second per second, dropped an apple. Would it fall at the same speed? (i.e. 64 feet per second per second).

What I would like to know is how gravity and magnetism and females exert their force on bodies when they are not touching them. Could it be an advanced case of static cling? Or maybe where there seems to be nothing there is actually a web of somethingness that connects matter or forms some kind of medium. Maybe there is no such thing as space, but just different kinds of matter. When you jump off the earth, you follow a curved pathway back to its surface through space at about 88 thousand mile per hour in the solar orbit and 1000 miles per hour in the earth's spin and some speed relative to the galactic spin and travel as well. It is really a corkscrew pathway. It may be even possible with all the myriad stellar motions, that it could cancel out relative to some absolute point in space that really was not moving. I wonder of you were wearing really fast roller skates if you would tend to keep going when you hit a hard surface. EC<:-}
