Gravity: It’s a choice, lovely fool.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation

In the video I’m about to link up, I sort of make fun of how scientific minds like to say things are “facts,” but I don’t know that science ever actually calls something a fact.

Look at this Wikipedia article about Gravitation – they describe gravity as a natural phenomenon.

Wow, that is spot on. It is a phenomenon and it’s natural — part of the universe.

I’m not going to restate much of what is in the video, but I want to make something perfectly clear: All of this is not about me.

Next, I’m going to write a little about what “war gaming” taught me about myself and how I’m not worthy, perhaps no one is worthy, of being an all-powerful leader.

Here’s that video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NadryFO0ghk

As I teach, Aristotle, Newton, and Einstein all had ways of describing how objects 'fall' or how 'mass attracts mass'. In my mind, these are inventions, not facts. It's hard to talk this way to scientists while actually doing science.

Does a bird know what 'gravity' is when it falls?

I can write down Newton's Law of Gravitation and predict future events with some accuracy. But don't ask me 'why' it works. Nobody has a clue.
