I'm rating this a 'PModdy Classic'. :read:
Good work David,

If we jump from a 10 foot tall wall....gravity will pull u down.

Now what form of gravity pull you up to the center of Gravity?

It only pulls you down Dave.:-D

The Sears tower clock would run slower, I'm with the rest of y'all on the gravity question, but I like trying to figure it out. As was said before, some forces unify when the conditions are right, not outside of a particle accelerator (thankfully)

this thread is proof that gravity sucks

Yeah this thread is a bit Wacky :nonono:

But some funny comments as well ;-) Dano.

Dave,

under water, bouyancy forces you up. A Ball of lead with the same mass as you would sink like a, well, a ball of lead.

If we removed all of the hot air in you, you'd sink too.

All objects of mass have their own gravity. Earth's gravitational field is diminished the farther above the surface you are. A Clock (windup type, I know, I'm an old fart) at the top of the SEARS tower runs at a different rate than a clock at the lowest point in Death Valley.

Anybody know which is slower and which is faster?

A: SEARS Tower

B: Death Valley

Ow, my brain hurts. See what you did, P Mods? Now I have to go to school

John, whats the answer?

A. Sears Tower i can see it going fast since not much of gravity involved.
B. Death Valley i can see it being slower due to the pull of the gravity.

O.K. i got it :bored:

:bash:

See Dave, you don't need Juan to menace people, you can out think them. I'll bet that's why they leave you to run that office and stay in Chicago, or New York or where ever.

One final thought on the physical vs. the metaphysical:

Did we ever put this one to bed? Was it some Anti-Gravity thing?

The clock in the Sears tower would run slower due to velocity, it'd be traveling faster than the clock in death valley. Yes, infinitestimally slower due to time dilation, but it is going closer to the speed of light than the clock that's at a lower altitude.
