Thank You, Sir Isaac Newton

Good evening, my loves!

So I was schooling today and in a science lesson (I'm studying Sir Isaac Newton and mass and gravity) and came across this explanation of mass. In response to a previous blog, Me and the World, isn't that so true.

Scientifically, our mass- compared to the mass of other common objects around- us is large. That's why we don't feel a tug from those objects, pulling us in (like how the planets are pulled to the sun by gravity). But our mass compared to the earth is smaaaaaall. We notice the earth's gravity because earth's mass is far greater than our own. -Let me repeat that: earth's mass is far greater than our own.- In turn, the gravitational force acting between relatively small objects is not as strong. That's why books, cars, and dogs are not drawn toward you, and that's also why you don't slide into the person sitting next to you.

Hmm, so in other words: we aren't the center of the world?? Big shock.

Thank you, science, for backing me up on this one.

This isn't directed to anyone, specific, I just love finding ways to relate school to things I'm interested in. It makes it more fun.
