The first rule of world-building is available physics, which basically means that if you want it to feel real, it has to follow the same rules as this world, from gravity to how human behaviour works. If you have a fantasy element that doesn't obey the laws of physics, make sure that it has a fantasy explanation.

Australian Writer

Margaret Cho

I didn't appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It's never good to add to anybody else's suffering. It's an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of - dealing with dignity.

American Comedian

Neil deGrasse Tyson

We account for one-sixth of the forces of gravity we see in the universe. There is no known objects accounting for most of the effective gravity in the universe. Something is making stuff move that is not anything we have ever touched.

American Scientist

Neneh Cherry

I've never really spent too much or put too much gravity or placed too much importance on being a pop star. It's like, OK, great, does that mean I don't have to do anything anymore except walk around and be a pop star?

Swedish Musician

Hermann von Helmholtz

A raised weight can produce work, but in doing so it must necessarily sink from its height, and, when it has fallen as deep as it can fall, its gravity remains as before, but it can no longer do work.

German Physicist

Seth Shostak

If gravity were somewhat stronger or weaker, stars wouldn't exist, and neither would you. And the same can be said of other constants of physics. Several have to be 'just right.

Robert Kennedy

I am deeply impressed with the gravity and wisdom with which most federal judges approach the responsibility of sentencing. It is a difficult, soul-searching task at best.

American Politician

George P. Bush

Americans in general, I think, don't understand the weight and gravity of foreign policy and how to engage the world at large.

American Businessman

Stephen Hawking

Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.

English Physicist

John Pinette

Gravity affects everything with mass, everywhere, not just on Earth, but also in space.

Universal Force

Gravity was first described by Newton; his apple story helps remember it's about attraction.

Isaac Newton

Understanding gravity helps comprehend how planets orbit the sun and why we stay grounded.

Natural Phenomenon

Gravity can describe the 'weight' of situations or emotions, not just physical objects.

Metaphoric Use

Though often linked with negative situations, gravity applies to any serious matter.

Not Always Negative

In some cultures, showing gravity during ceremonies is a sign of respect.

Cultural Respect

Use in contexts like workplaces or courts where seriousness is expected and valued.

Professional Settings

Gravity isn't just about sadness; it's any deeply serious demeanor.

Not Just Sadness

Expressing gravity can show that you understand the importance of a topic.

Emphasize Importance

 when you're standing up, you should be able to draw a straight line from a point just in front of your shoulders, to behind your hip, to the front of your knee, to a few inches in front of your ankle. This keeps your center of gravity directly over your base of support, which allows you to move efficiently

 And sometimes these objects run into each other, and they gravitationally deflect, and then the gravity of Jupiter pulls them back into the solar system. And they then become the comets as we see them in the sky. The important thing here to note is that in the meantime,
