The moment a human leaves the ground it becomes obvious that the gravity we talk about when they’re on the ground is a myth. This dancer has temporarily freed herself from the Earth beneath her. But when she’s on the ground, she’s not being pulled down. That pulling stops the second she reaches the ground. And when the Earth *is* pulling her down, like in this photo, she’s completely weightless, floating in mid-air. She’s always weightless, it’s just that on the ground the Earth constantly pushes up under her feet, changing what (weightless) movements she can do.
