I read it somewhere, but I couldn't remember the whole story and didn't find the link so I sort of lied a bit. But I HAVE had people tell me this before.

Yeah. But a physics teacher would just HAVE to know how gravity works. That's their job.

Well, you know how those communist colleges work.

This was in college?! I don't believe you. lol

Isn't this kind of basic? Like grade 5 material?

But the people who come to the Science and Technology board on Gaia are a little self-selecting. They have an interest in science and so are more likely to know about this stuff.

True. That's why I chose this board, and you will notice that a fair ammount of people missed it even at that.

This is so easy considering that I have a 8th grade education. I'm thirteen I'm not going into high school until after this summer.

I can't believe how many ignorant people there are out there. This is why the education system fails.
