Comment on A scientific discovery

But do they understand the gravity of that discovery?
Only a little, it is microgravity after all.
Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.
Wrong. The earth orbits the space station. Ignore the epicyclic motion of other nearby bodies.
Ah, good old relativity. Btw where did you learn about epicycles?
That’s what microgravity means.
I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon’s pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth
