Doug experimentally verifies that gravity is still functioning normally during a late fall trip up the Nipple, near Boston Bar
Gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down.. Now my feet won't touch the ground

gravity is working against me, and griavity wants to bring me down.
these were taken with my phone, sorry not the best quality.

A glass of lemon squash that I left standing undisturbed on the worktop for a couple of hours, initially well mixed with a couple of ice cubes (freezer rocks) just added and the top quarter drunk before I put it down. Interesting!

Hey Jason, (my producer)
I just got approval from Bright Eyes. Do you have an agreement
written up?
Thanks
Jeff
I'm so excited!!! Please, just don't tell Conor I'm such a wanker....

The frequency of gravitational waves depends on where they originated. Where detectors are focusing on different regions of these frequencies.

“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
This year there’s been a lot more science fiction films out there. I’d have to say most of them didn’t live up to expectations. Thankfully once in a while one comes along that nails the genre and this time it’s Gravity. Alfonso Cuaron’s tense “hold your breath” space thriller is something to behold (especially on the big screen).
After seeing the film and a great deal of fan-made posters I decided to put together a concept for a film poster focusing on distance/loneliness while trying to play down the use of an astronaut. There’s some really great themes captured in the film and it’s not just about the peril of being lost in space.
Day Eight-Three ~ Anti-Gravity Treadmill
Anna officially started physical therapy this week. One of the first things Dr. Katie had her do was try the anti-gravity elliptical machine. This thing is so cool! You put on these scuba-like shorts that zip into the top part of the elliptical. It creates a vacuum that they then pump full of air (like a bouncy house). You can then adjust the weight of your body to be just a fraction of what it really is. Dr. Katie said it feels like you are walking on the moon. Anna was so scared to try it. It took a lot of coaxing and cheering but she did it! She really rocked her first PT session.

Lately I've been feeling like I'm not grounded. I'm continually turning to photography because it definitely makes me feel more anchored. Happy Tuesday, Flickr.
I have a debate with my friend regarding variations of gravity on Earth. We read in an article that gravity on the poles of the Earth and the equator are not the same, so I continued with this line of thinking to speculate that gravity also varies depending on the altitude of the place you measure it; for example, the gravity in the Dead Sea (which is the lowest place on Earth) will be stronger than at the top of Mount Everest (the highest place on Earth).
My friend does not agree with me. He claims that due to the movement of Earth, on its own axis and orbiting around the sun, every place on Earth, that is to say any point within the atmosphere, has the same gravity. I do not understand how the motion of a planet has anything to do with gravity within the planet, but I'm not an expert, so I hope you can help us resolve the dispute.
You are right - gravity does change across the surface of the Earth and throughout its atmosphere, due to several effects.
First, there is the variation of gravity with latitude that you alluded to: you weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than on the equator. There are two effects that contribute to this, and they are discussed in more detail in a previous question. (It should be noted, however, that only one of these effects is due to an actual difference in the gravitational force between the equator and poles - the other effect is due to the fact that the Earth is spinning, which affects the weight you would see when you stepped on a scale but does not actually represent a change in the value of the gravitational force.)
Second, gravity does indeed change with altitude. The gravitational force above the Earth's surface is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth. The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6,378 kilometers, so let's say you were on a mountain at the equator that was 5 kilometers high (around 16,400 feet). You would then be 6,383 kilometers from the Earth's center, and the gravitational force would have decreased by a factor of (6,378 / 6,383)2 = 0.9984. So the difference is less than 0.2%.
Finally, there are very small differences (on the order of 0.01% or less) in gravity due to differences in the local geology. For example, changes in the density of rock underneath you or the presence of mountains nearby can have a slight effect on the gravitational force.
