If Isaac Newton was such a scientific genius, why didn't he invent an antidote for gravity?

He did, but he didn't want to reveal it. He was afraid people would think he was falling up in his work.

He had to leave *something* for Lagrange...

He did not have the required technology. Aliens didn't disclose such technology to us yet.

Crazychick · 36-40, F

@Lanyx Oh, so aliens were to blame for gravity, were they? I should have guessed. Lol :)

Well many great minds haven't come up with it

The antidote was built into the equations. All you have to do, is fly far enough from the surface of the earth, and you will have zero gravity. Or, you can use his math, to plunge super fast, and free yourself from gravity for a short period of time.

Probably because he didn’t look at it as a disease

@ButterRobot OK, so "disease" may not be the right word but it's certainly a problem in need of a cure when things keep falling on the floor.

SomeMichGuy · M

@Crazychick But how do they fo this? Because you insist on having tables, counters, shelves, etc. If you have no surfaces other than the floor, then you'll have no more falling of items from higher surfaces to the floor.

Then you just have to worry about yourself & other people falling to the floor.

You'd want one?

Crazychick · 36-40, F

@uncalled4 Of course. Wouldn't everyone?
