To understand one of physics’s biggest mysteries, YouTuber Cleo Abram boarded a zero-G “Vomit Comet” plane with the European Space Agency. This is her attempt to explain why our everyday understanding of gravity is wrong—a journey from Newton’s simple force to Einstein’s warped spacetime and the modern quest for a theory of everything, all while floating weightlessly.
Going to Zero Gravity to Prove Gravity Is a Lie
Einstein’s revolutionary insight was that gravity isn’t a force pulling objects together, but rather the result of mass and energy warping the very fabric of spacetime.
