00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
Last time I did a video about gravity...

2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.880
I was trying to get across that gravity changes depending on where on earth you are.

3
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:10.700
For a few reasons, including the earth not being a sphere

4
00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.560
and what I forgot, was the composition of rocks, but...

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:15.220
What you might not know

6
00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:18.640
is that gravity doesn't always point straight down towards Earth.

7
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.700
If you're next to a massive mountain,

8
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:22.080
something on the scale of Mount Everest,

9
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.260
then the mountain will exert its own gravitational pull,

10
00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:27.960
which means that the forces add and--

11
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.600
Oh boy!--

12
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.700
The forces add...

13
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:33.840
Here we go!

14
00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:36.160
Which means...

15
00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:38.420
Oh, this is bad, this is scary.
Oh boy!

16
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:43.220
Which means that gravity sometimes

17
00:00:43.220 --> 00:00:45.220
doesn't point straight down.

18
00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:51.920
Oh boy. There's a sign...

19
00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:08.460
Today's lesson is that when it says "slow down",

20
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:10.960
it really does mean "slow down".

21
00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:14.180
You can come off on an alpine slide!

22
00:01:15.940 --> 00:01:17.420
Don't believe the people who say,

23
00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:19.420
that you can go down without brakes.

24
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.720
Don't believe someone who says, this isn't actually terrifying

25
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:24.600
and that you don't need to slow down around the corners.

26
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:26.120
You do!

27
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.300
And if you don't

28
00:01:27.460 --> 00:01:28.640
it hurts!

29
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:29.700
Never mind gravity.

30
00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:33.500
THAT is something you might not have known.

31
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:40.580
Injury count:

32
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:43.680
Road rash in four places,

33
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.680
hands stung with nettles,

34
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.280
and significant damage to my pride.

35
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:52.560
Chris and Matt, they got down just fine.

36
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:57.620
So like I was saying,

37
00:01:57.620 --> 00:01:59.620
gravity doesn't always point down,

38
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.040
but remember that it does.

39
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.240
