There’s gold in them thar kills
It does not ‘stop’ gravity. It counters the force of it. Airplane wings don’t ‘stop’ gravity either. They just provide a force that counters it for a while.
...
Since we’re correcting people, gravity is a curvature of spacetime, not a force.
GOLD!
You think gold is heavy?
Try prying it off a neutron star!
Imagine when the CNN reporter was asked to write this story?
“Neutron Star?, where is it located in Hollywood?”
“Which gender is Neutron Star? I don’t want to offend someone”
“Neutron Stars colliding....You mean there are two of them with the same name?”
“gravity is a curvature of spacetime, not a force.”
Oh? How would you define ‘force’ then?
The common physics definition, “any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object” seems to cover what I said, “the force of [gravity]” which per common grammar means the force which gravity cause to occur.
New eras seem ushered in every other week.
Great book. I read many of Niven’s works in the early 1980s.
Did you read the link I provided? You corrected somebody for using common language, so I figured I would return the favor.
“You corrected somebody for using common language”
Nope. As I pointed out in my first post, no one says a plan ‘stops gravity’. That both technically incorrect and also not “common language”.
I understood what the person meant, so that made it common language. You just like being a know-it-all and I demonstrated that you aren’t.

This process is how we got the heavy elements in our planet. The ‘debris’ is ejected into regions where new solar systems form.
I’m wondering how we can cash in on the gold and platinum that is generated.
“Try prying it off a neutron star!”
Todd Hoffman said he’d give it a try. Beats gravel mining in Colorado ...
“I remember in grade school in the 1940s when other galaxies were seen as dim smears in the sky,” and cells were full of stuff called protoplasm that had blobs of stuff floating around in it like raisins ...
And the appearance that the continents could fit together was just a coincidence.
“And the appearance that the continents could fit together was just a coincidence.”
indeed. when i dared point that out in junior high school science class, the teacher came unglued yelling at me that was completely untrue, and more or less not to believe my eyes. It was a true awakening for me to begin thinking for myself and to realize that many of the teachers had strange, hidden agendas, because any fool could see that they had indeed fit together at one time, not to mention that all of the many archipelagos (including Great Britain and Ireland) had once been part of a nearby mainland.
That’s absolutely amazing!
