Ok.

So, I'm driving home, and, as you do, I start to try and solve the big questions... you know the ones, world peace, curing cancer.. understanding wimmen, the great imponderables.

Soooo.... suddenly it occurred to me, that Brian Cox and his buddies are all talking bollox.

I mean, they reckon that there's a thing called gravity, and it keeps us on this spinning ball of rock right?

Yuh, but don't things get flung off if you spin something... eh?

And, then they get you with "but its cos the world has mass, so it attracts things, so we don't fall off".

Yeah, ok smartass, so if I get a hundred tonne ball of rock, and put a mouse on the side, the mass of the rock keeps the mouse there, does it?

'Course not, but fear not, cos I think I got it covered, I reckon that its... wait for it....

Invisible Velcro!!!

Everything has Velcro in it, that's why everything sticks together.... oi, stop laughing, its just as believable as "gravity" !!!

You do realise that the earth has significantly more mass than your big ball? That said, I believe most physicists think that the theory of gravity is either wrong or incomplete as it appears so much weaker than the other forces.

I'm with you on the invisible Velcro idea.

Someone has invented a strapless bra based on the Velcro like effect of gecko feet. A strapless bra that actually stays up would truly defy gravity with my boobs.

Yes if something is spinning an object that has no other forces acting upon it will be thrown outwards. This is known as centrifugal force, but should never be confused with being tossed off on a merry go round.

It's also worth baring in mind that cheese and onion crisps contain neither onion or cheese. With this in mind, perhaps instead of calling them a packet of cheese and onion crisps, we should call them packs of lies? Now straying off the path I may be. But it's a valid point I'm sure you'll agree.

I dunno..but as i love science, from the quantum to the macroscopic..I always understood the mass is more imprtant than the spin..i dont think a atomic cohesion needs much spin...but gravity is the weak force that relies on mass, so even the smallest examples like an atom, will have almost the same effect relatively as a planet or star in a relative manner.

isnt everything really just fractally based when it comes to physical bodies?

String theory explains that. Every apple has an invisible quantum string hanging down from it attached to a mole underground. As the mole moves away from the tree to hunt worms it pulls the apple down.

Meerkats are responsible for causing things to fly off the surface of the earth. They bob up from underneath, break the velcro and head them into the air.

It's obvious really when you think about it.

The mass is irrelevant. if no force is being exerted upon that object, it will remain at rest.

Now write out "I must not play fast and loose with Newton's laws of motion and attempt to muddy the waters with the shifty stick of Quantum physics" 100 times.

We need more Velcro attached between earth and the moon, as it's slipping away from us. Or should we bring more of the moon back down, so our even larger mass - at that point - would have a stronger pull on a smaller moon?

Or would a higher mass earth affect its orbit with the sun - I know the answer must be yes, but it would be interesting to calculate how we may alter things.

which forces?

There's lots of theories of gravity though, lots work but with varying degrees of accuracy and complexity.

But to say it's because wits "weaker than other forces" is bollocks.

That might be mixing up the old fashioned Newtonian ideas with more modern velcro theory. It would be the surface area of the velcro that was important, not the mass. Think of those wall things that you can throw yourself at in a velcro suit. If not enough velcro sticks you fall off.

The same applies to the orbit of the earth around the sun. Its orbit takes longer than, say venus, because it has to rub along a lot more velcro in space to get round the sun. More friction makes it go slower. Oh and the friction explains global warming too

"Why don't clouds float out into space. Velcro won't stick to clouds.

OK OK it's not perfect. There's room in this theory for invisible pushing gremlins to push the clouds back down too if that keeps you onside

Otherwise I'll have to have goretex containers included to wrap the clouds in and the whole theory is going to turn into a huge anorak.

I think knicker elastic would be better

Would bra straps be suitable?

On this topic why is it that bra straps come undone much more easily in porches, rollers and get Italian cars?

You're assuming the bra is on when entering

Mine certainly wouldn't be

I love you all, and anyone who would like to educate me further can PM me. Xxxxx

Quick...QUICK...one of you boffins...!!! Where can I get some extra-strong Velcro to attract Saucy Tigger a bit closer my way...?

Who needs Velcro, mummy lives in the valleys lol xxx

"My car keys and phone keep floating around the house...I'm now going to stick them down with Velcro so I'll always know they'll be where (I think) I left them

AND I'm going to get some Velcro fitted to both my bollocks, to stop them banging together like a Newton's Cradle when I'm running up the pub to catch last orders

They already do that on the space station because the earth's velcro runs out up there. That's velcro their phones and keys down, not their bollocks together. "

Actually there is gravity in a LEO.(low earth orbit) Which is where the space station sits. There is about 90% of what there is on earth. Weightlessness is caused by it orbiting at around 18000 mph. So everything is in constant free fall.

The world is full of velcro deniers! The world's favourite newspapers can help out here - with this exciting article that confirms positively with pictorial evidence both velcro and string in the space station...

I think the string looks particularly super.

Newtonians eat your hearts out with your discredited theories of inertia, gravity, gecko's feet and gremlins.
