Re: [Phys-l] feeling gravity, or not



I think we might be talking past each other. I am not arguing I would feel gravity if I were in free fall. I am assuming I am supported. My original response was a reaction to Tom Folkert's comment that when you are standing on earth that you feel the effect of gravity in your feet because of the deformity in your feet. My comment is that your feet are not the only place you feel it. Chuck Britton's recent response it the type of thing I am talking about. If your skeleton is supporting you, then there are deformations all over your body, not just in your feet. You feel the effect of gravity throughout your body. That's all I'm trying to say.
