As people know, one of my pet peeves. It’s there in the sign, ‘Zero G’. As if these people are suddenly free of gravity. There’s as much gravity on these people as there is on you or I. Even trained scientists perpetuate this myth. It matters because the myths about gravity shape every single thing we do, every day. The vast majority of whole countries labour against their ‘weight’ every day, when it’s actually just an illusion. You can’t feel your own weight.
