"falling in space"

from Sins Forums
I'm gonna continue to argue with danielost here. keep the other boards from being gunked up by nonsense.
actually it does apply to all space after all sol is in orbit around the center of the galaxy right

no, first of all because thats not "falling", falling implies something more than being tugged slightly by a very far off distant force.

secondly its really not the center of the galaxy that the sun is orbiting, its more swept up by the collective gravity of interstellar dust and other solar systems. so thats not really an orbit.


and even if you were to define that as an orbit, you have massive intergalacticcluster areas that are not in the orbit of anything at all.

you dont even need an explanation or math to explain this, its freaking simple: falling only applies at the range in which you have a discernable acceleration or terminal velocity due to a single source of gravity rather than an amalgamation of others. space does not fit that criteria.

Can't schem just delete it?

I could, but only if you pay for my ticket to SD headquarters and then pay me a nominal fee of 10 billion dollars to sneak in and delete it.

even then I dont think the pay might be enough, the SD are pretty ruthless with their interrogation techniques (not that I've ever been caught)

one time I saw them castrate a man with a nail file, not pretty.

Oh, cause some forums will allow the OP to delete the whole thread whenever. Guess not this one then.

well even if, what would be the fun in that?

I like this thread to stay, it has its memories.

Who knows maybe a necro down the road might resurect it back to its qusi-glory.

Everyones allotted their one day mistake.

but I hope for too much.


Like in this sentance for instance.

If you star a sentance with but, you must place a comma after it.

That sentance is a rhetorical fragment. Do not lose hope for me yet, emp!

Fragments are the excuese of the grammatically inept.
