&gt; Getting back to everyday reality, the impression that most people have is that gravity stops once you reach a certain altitude above Earth, at which point you start floating around in &quot;zero g&quot;, but, as we just talked about, this is obviously not true. The force of gravity drops proportionate to the square of the distance between the centers of two objects.<p>I&#x27;d like to meet the person that is both uneducated enough to think that gravity suddenly stops and after that is &quot;zero g&quot;, and also undestands what &quot;proportionate to the square of the distance&quot; means!
