Variable Gravity (mostly from T)
Nov. 13th, 2009 10:00 pmEver been on a stupendously large boat that is pitching up and down in 12 meter seas? There are two places you can really enjoy the sensation: the bow and the stern. The center of the ship does not move as much. T says something about lever arms.
Luckily our cabin is as far back as possible. Lying in bed, one moment you are light as a feather, followed shortly by a giant hand pressing you down.
Stairs are interesting during variable gravity. Sometimes we spring lightly up the stairs, followed immediately by grunting with effort to get up a single step.
T likes the long hallways: He bounds like a gazelle...Followed by staggering like a drunken turtle. For me, walking down the halls is a weaving dance as the floor shifts in seemingly random directions. Heels (formal dinners!) make the shifts in gravity more dangerous.
