Sometimes I look at the wide open sky and think "What if gravity suddenly reverses and I fall up into the sky and then space? That would be really dangerous."

I had a clear childhood memory of when gravity temporarily vanished and we all had to duck and cover under our desks. Years later I learned how gravity worked. A few years after that I realized my memory was impossible though it felt very real. This may be the root of my trust issues...

Human memory is wild. We’re extremely good at inventing things that never happened, or adjusting memories over time as we recall them into something completely different than what actually happened. And it can feel so real.

Stephen King wrote a story of just that happening to a guy. Except gravity didn't reverse he just kind of lost mass, but the result was the same.

Dude wasn't even dieting what was crazy is for all intents in purposes no one could tell he was losing weight. He looked the same weight but when he get on a scale it show him losing weight. You really should read it. For some reason its a stand alone novel, but its actually really short for a Stephen King novel.

I swear to God I'm not trying to be a dick, but just so you know the phrase is "for all Intents and purposes."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It's a pity you have to preface it that way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same mass, less weight. So he was gravity resistant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yes and also should tell you the title Elevation by Stephen King.

This is like a non-Christian version of my childhood fear of "The Rapture."

You should anchor yourself to things.
