In times long gone, many a man would look up at the stars and wonder at what kept humanity firmly stationed upon the ground. But suddenly, in 1687 Sir Isaac Newton discovered a force responsible for changing the speed or direction of a moving object and keeping the Earth in orbit around the sun- and no, contrary to widespread belief, he did not discover this while sitting under an apple tree when one of the fruit fell on his head. Yet, a recently established local minority society, provide conflicting views regarding the theory of gravity, which they perceive as having been ‘made up, just like time.’
However, the group having been at the centre of much public disagreement is slowly diminishing- but not before one of the founding members established her own firm belief in the ‘magma theory’ regarding our not floating off into space. She states: ‘similarly as with ionic bonding, the positive charge at the centre of the earth attracts the positive charges within humans, (with an electrostatic force of attraction) which draws us towards the centre of magma.’
Now, as ‘The Respectful Atheist’ affirms: ‘there is no word that indentifies people who deny the gravity theory,’ (nor for that matter, is there a serious website for them, as there are so few gravity disbelievers that no word is needed to classify them.) Nonetheless, in the stiff upper lip style of this country we do owe them their democratic right of freedom of speech.
*Due to the group’s own doubts of their future public standing and safety they have asked their names not be included.
