OUR SPINNING WORLD

There are some places on Earth where gravity is light. They are just tiny spots, not huge regions (that would be physically impossible). And they are dangerous. You wouldn’t think a small spot of light gravity would be a problem, but that may be because you’ve never stepped on one.

I thought maybe if I did, I would just float a bit until I drifted to an area where gravity was normal. That is until I actually witnessed what happens. It isn’t so peaceful as I imagined. It’s shocking and violent. We forget that the earth is spinning at roughly 1000 mile an hour. That is a LOT of centrifugal force. Image being on a merry go round going that fast.

If you step on a light gravity spot you will be flung, and flung far so hang on!
