Cat: Sir Issac Newton was a fraud.

1. Cat parkour!

BTW, some say Newton invented the cat flap. He cut two holes in a door - one for his cat and a smaller one for her kitten, which makes me wonder how smart he really was, since the kitten likely would have followed the bigger cat through the larger opening. Actually, the cat door seems to have been around for much longer, and even appears in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales:

"An hole he foond, ful lowe upon a bord
Ther as the cat was wont in for to crepe,
And at the hole he looked in ful depe,
And at the last he hadde of hym a sighte."

2. I saw where gravity does not care in an E. European place

Cars roll uphill, balls, water etc.

3. At Knott's Berry Farm in

Southern California they used to have a house like that. Balls would (apparently) roll up hill, etc. It was all optical illusions, but was cleverly done.

4. Gravity is not as uniform as we would like to think it is.

We have had crashes on Mars as a result of distortion in gravity. If I find a video on that weirdness in Eastern Europe I will start a thread.

8. "Gravity is not as uniform as we would like to think it is."

I have long realized that the expansion of space is not uniform. For a couple of decades now I have been caught in a bubble of space which is expanding more rapidly than normal. No matter how strictly I diet, I keep expanding.

9. LOL! And an amazing update!

The previous site was Mount Aragats in Armenia. The show presented a physicist explaining things were going up a 20% gradient. However his videos are now taken down. I also noted the steep incline where it was said to have such a gradient, BUT the experiment took place on a "run of the mill" gravity hill which is an optical illusion.

10. Thank you for the interesting rabbit hole to go down,

I had no idea that there were natural gravity hills.

7. Six Flags Over Texas has "Casa Magnetica"... Haven't visited since the late 80's...

5. Yep. And guess who has to spackle those claw marks? (n/t)
