Omg the cat is in zero-g!

This was hilarious.

That cat hates everyone and everything now.

I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WAS GONE FOREVER. OH MY GOD.

Someone posted this like a year ago, and I find it absolutely hysterical.

And carbo, you're an idiot. Zero gravity doesn't mean you float up, it means you aren't pushed down. If you're pushed downwards like that, you're still gonna go down.

Awwww poor kitty! That was so mean how he threw the cat into the wall. I love cats by the way.

Much love,

Though I like cats, I have enough of a sense of humor to find entertainment in its misery. Nice flailing.

I know how Newton's second law of motion works, and that the state of zero gravity means that the object is unattracted to any other larger object, thus it will float around freely. You obviously misinerprited what I said.

I just noticed that the cat kept falling downwards instead of up, back, ect.

Idiot, like I don't know 5th grade physics.

I am highly offended.

I'm calling the pound!

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Omg the cat is in zero-g!

Ohhh, I see what you mean.

Well, it goes down because it hits the curved wall and bounces off. It bounces off in a similar fashion when it hits the ground.

I didn't sign up for Physics class in 5th grade.

Too those who found this video offensive:

SHUT UP IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.

For the record: throwing it at the wall didn't hurt it one bit. Cats can take a fall really well (hence the land-on-their-feet myth). It got tangled up in the tether though, and got spun free. Animals tangled up in cords is not a pleasant thing for me to see. It was kinda funny, but I felt bad for it.

Also for the record: They're not in zero gravity. The gravity in orbit isn't much different from gravity at the surface. It's just a bit less, about like gravity on the moon. What gives you the weightless feeling is the fact that you're actually free falling towards Earth the entire time you're in orbit. This is because the shuttle travels parallel to the Earth's surface with enough velocity so that the amount it's pulled down matches the curviture of the Earth. So, in case you didn't know, when you're free falling it's like zero gravity. That's how they do all the weightless scenes in space movies. They take the actors up in jets REALLY REALLY high, then plummet in a free fall during the scene.

To experience true zero gravity, you have to be much farther away from Earth or any other sizeable object.[/lolscience]

Zero gravity is just the term used, saying "That cat is experiencing the illusion of weightlessness" or something along the terms of being more technical just isn't easier or cooler to say than "That cat is in zero gravity".

BTW, why do you have to be such an elitist in these threads? I understand saying that the cat wasn't getting hurt to correct us, but you didn't really have to go into getting technical on the whole zero-g thing? It wasn't exactly being discussed.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Omg the cat is in zero-g!

For the record: Saying "for the record" before something usually means that you're just informing the person(s) you're addressing that what they said may (or is) in fact be technically incorrect. It's not like I was all "OMG GUYS UR WRONG IT AINT ZERO GEEZ ITS JUST A FREEFALL FROM EARTH LOL!" I just figured I'd inform everybody, since you were all "well Newton's 2nd law!" and people were getting technical. That's why I posted it now rather than in my first page. That's also why I posted the FYI about the cat, since people were all "omg poor kitty!!"

BTW, why do YOU have to be such an arguer in these threads? I understand pointing out that Eric didn't know what you meant to correct him, but you didn't really have to go into being an ass by calling him an idiot and all? [While this ? is grammatically incorrect, I will keep it here to mock carbo] It wasn't exactly needed.

PS:

the state of zero gravity means that the object is unattracted to any other larger object

OH YEAH YOU SURE KNOW PHYSICS! rofl

holy shit EB if I wanted CT i would have clicked CT
jk you're smart. That's pretty cool actually, thanks for the info.
CUZ IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FREEEEEEE FALLLLLLLLLIN I just failed didnt I?

Gravity: The natural force of attraction exerted by a celestial body, such as Earth, upon objects at or near its surface, tending to draw them toward the center of the body.

From this you can easily make out the definition for zero gravity.

Zero gravity: The lack of a natural force of attraction exerted by a celestial body, such as Earth, upon objects at or near its surface, tending to draw them toward the center of the body.

I don't know what there is to not understand.
