The Web is ultimately not about stock prices that can defy gravity or about the end of boom-and-bust cycles.
Conversely, when a heavily loaded car descends or a lightly loaded car ascends, gravity allows the heavier car to descend or the heavier counterweight to descend.
FORBES: Gravity May Soon Qualify As Renewable-Energy Resource in New York
So yes, I have been wrong about the market over the past year or so, expecting gravity to kick in at some point.
Corporate clients might be harder to come by but would probably be drawn from sectors that deal with material sciences, particularly engineering or metallurgy, where a low-gravity environment would make possible types of research and production that are impossible or prohibitively expensive on Earth.
The humanists reveled in form and esthetics but knew next to nothing of gravity, magnetism or the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Virgin Galactic is aiming for the winged, minivan-sized SpaceShipTwo to rocket tourists into zero gravity in two or three years, Branson said in December.
It was once thought that asteroids in the main belt occasionally collided with one another, sending fragments into orbital resonance bands where they could be affected by the gravity of Jupiter or Saturn.

The technique uses distant light amplified by the gravity of a massive star or planet to create an astronomical magnifying lens.
After users choose from the zillions of costumes and body types, they pick from 400 different powers, including laser blasts, gravity control, mind control or the ability to summon a snowman that delivers quick-freezing breath.
The ways to deal with the threat include simply flying a spacecraft into an errant asteroid or either attaching one to it or parking one alongside it, like a gravity tractor, to pull it into another orbit.
The divide was a massive, sprawling boundary not determined by politics, religion, or war but by tectonics, granite, and gravity.
It has also acquired for the ISS two microscopes and a centrifuge that can simulate the gravity on, say, the moon or Mars.
FORBES: The Space Station Is The Final Frontier Of Biological Research
Anyhow, we've got the Gravity 2 here your choice of red or orange, the 20-key t349 candybar, and that's not all we've got for you QWERTY and half-QWERTY fans -- there's an unnamed clamshell here (pictured) that'll be available in two colors.

Give your boss or employer just enough for him to fully understand the gravity of your situation, Mistal says.
D. student Roxana Leontie developed a program that would allow the robot to carry items without stable centers of gravity say, bottles of water or half-filled bags of pet kibble.
To call this situation serious, or even worrying, doesn't really give it the gravity it deserves.
Many scientists believe that antimatter acts in the same or in a similar manner as matter when it comes to gravity.
CNN: What's the matter with antimatter? Scientists want to know
There is, however, scope for new laws of gravity that affect light and heavy objects differently, or involve a modification of the concept of inertia.
This could be achieved by finding which one is right and which one is wrong, by finding that both string theory and loop quantum gravity are wrong and a third theory is right, or by finding that the two theories can be unified.
The ground might be lower or higher on the take-off or landing side and all these things throw the horse's center of gravity.
But something seems to have worried them, and they will now be reading the runes of a summit that ended with an unprecedented decision to cut EU spending, trying to evaluate whether this is a one-off or a symptom of a more troubling shift in Europe's centre of gravity - a move in a more sceptic direction.
The theory supersedes Newton's law in situations where gravity is very strong, such as next to a black hole, or where energies and speeds are very high.
Gravity takes over when you perform most exercises, like a dumbbell curl or a kettle bell swing, giving the body a chance to relax, says Rowdy Yates, a certified personal trainer and fitness manager at Crunch gym in New York City.
WSJ: What's Your Workout: From a Ball and Basket to a Stick and Some Ice
Strength training can involve a number of approaches including using free weights, such as dumbbells or barbells, resistance or elastic bands that allow you to flex using your arms and legs, as well as ankle weights or vests and other special exercises that use your body weight to simulate resistance against gravity.
To measure that, the four gyroscopes in Gravity Probe B are made of fused quartz spheres, which will not expand or contract as the temperature changes.
In fact, the whole resort is quite simplistic in design, if you look past its gravity-defying guest room wings: basic wooden slats are placed in straight or diagonal stripes, poured concrete provides dividers between the expansive living areas and dining room, every piece of furniture or pillow is locally made by hand, and there are no televisions just acres of glass overlooking the seal-grey sea and the ever-changing weather.
FORBES: Chiloe: Edgy Design on the Edge of the Earth in Chile
The lightweight plastic and carbon fiber robot, which is the newest member of a supposed zoo of animal-inspired devices from CMU's NanoRobotics Lab, owes its gravity-defying skills to research done by Harvard University biologists on the basilisk, or Jesus, lizard.
As the leader of the experimental gravity group at Columbia, he is looking into what happens when two black holes or neutron stars merge in the distant universe, and is collaborating with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, a facility funded by the National Science Foundation and located in Louisiana and Hanford, Wash. that aims to detect cosmic gravitational waves.
Proof of the gravity of the hiatus is that EDF has recently cut its dedicated nuclear workforce by 20% or 150 people, and stopped recruiting, because - in the words of an EDF source - the company felt it could no longer "burn money" (no jokes please about how that might be cheaper than more conventional fuel).
When we see a notable change in the gravity field, we can sync up this change with surface topography features such as craters, rilles or mountains.
