LYRICS
\nThe levity of gravity
\nIs weighing on me
\nHolding me down
\nSpecifically, Miss gravity
\nIs attracted to me
\nHolding me down
\nAt what cost to be free?
\nA force to be reckoned with
\nBut, without…?
\nHurled out of this world
\nSmeared into the atmosphere
\nI fear
\nUtter widespread… destruction
\nIntroduction
\nTo the space race<\/p>\n
The levity of gravity
\nIs weighing on me
\nHolding me down
\nSpecifically, Miss gravity
\nIs attracted to me
\nHolding me down
\nAt what cost to be free?
\nOh, the gravity of gravity
\nI’m attracted to you, too
\nImpacted with you
\nIn all we do
\nHold true<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nHow is gravity holding me down?<\/b><\/p>\n
Gravity is a fundamental force in nature that attracts objects with mass toward each other. It’s responsible for holding you and everything else on Earth down. The force of gravity is determined by the masses of the objects involved and the distance between them. In the case of Earth and you, the Earth’s mass is much larger than yours, so you are attracted towards the center of the Earth.<\/p>\n
Sir Isaac Newton described gravity in his law of universal gravitation, which states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Mathematically, this is expressed as:<\/p>\n
F=G\u22c5m1\u22c5m2r2<\/span>F<\/span>=<\/span><\/span>G<\/span>\u22c5<\/span><\/span>r<\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>m<\/span>1<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span>\u22c5<\/span>m<\/span>2<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n where:<\/p>\n In the case of Earth and an object near its surface, like yourself, the formula simplifies to:<\/p>\n F=G\u22c5M\u22c5mr2<\/span>F<\/span>=<\/span><\/span>r<\/span>2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>G<\/span>\u22c5<\/span>M<\/span>\u22c5<\/span>m<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n where:<\/p>\n This force pulls you towards the center of the Earth, creating the sensation of weight and keeping you “down” on the surface.<\/p>\n PART II If gravity were not holding you down, you would experience a state of free fall. In the absence of gravity, you would float or drift in the direction determined by any other forces acting on you.<\/p>\n If you were in outer space, far away from any massive objects like planets or stars, and there were no other forces acting on you, you would continue in your current state of motion (according to Newton’s first law of motion) unless acted upon by an external force. Essentially, you would be weightless and experience a sensation of floating.<\/p>\n However, if you were on Earth and gravity suddenly disappeared, the immediate consequences would be catastrophic. The atmosphere and everything not physically anchored to the Earth would also be affected. Objects, including people, would be thrown into the atmosphere at high speeds, leading to widespread destruction. The lack of gravity would have severe and likely lethal consequences for life on Earth.<\/p>\n LYRICS The levity of gravity Is weighing on me Holding me down Specifically, Miss gravity Is attracted to me Holding me down At what cost to be free?
