Would you like to experience gravity?

How does gravity work?  Is gravity…

a. Fancy science jargon that doesn’t mean much

b. The name of my new pet hissing cockroach

c. A newly introduced character on “Lost”

d. the attractive force between objects that have mass

Right now at the Fleet (until May 3rd, 2009), YOU can EXPERIENCE gravity.  We have an interactive screen that reacts to your shadow.  It demonstrates many qualities of gravity.  Here are the rules:

1. The smaller object can crash into the bigger one.

2. The smaller object can be deflected.

3. If the conditions are just right, the smaller objects can orbit the bigger ones.

Come and see what you can do!
