QuoteIf you don't understand gravity, you must make a pretty poor skydiver.
When comedian Lewis Black gets exasperated and confused, he makes this lip-flapping blubbering kinda sound and goes, "Burb-blurb-buh-bluhbuh-WHUH?!"
That's how I am feeling right now, trying to figure out what the hell you are talking about, and how you are coming up with some of the really zany, out-there shit you've been saying lately...
GRAVITY is what would make oxygen molecules de-mix out of the air and congregate at my ceiling, causing me to die of anoxia... Any guess you can offer about why oxygen would suddenly do this on a local scale like this, when it NEVER does it anywhere else, ever?
That is a really whack-o thing to suggest, kallend, especially for a guy with physics expertise.
So you think I don't understand gravity?? And you think an understanding of gravity is all there is to making a good skydiver?
Are you feeling okay??

I wrote "If you don't understand gravity, you must make a pretty poor skydiver". An elementary application of logic shows that this is NOT equivalent to your statement above.
If you spent more time thinking and less time ranting we'd all be much better off.
If you mix olive oil and water, do they separate out? Does the heavier stuff (water) sink to the bottom? Is it possible that gravity is the reason? Do you know why they spend $millions doing experiments in the micro gravity environment of the Space Shuttle if gravity doesn't affect the way things mix?

Tell us, what specific law of physics prohibits gas molecules from de-mixing (as opposed to merely making it improbable, which is not the same as impossible)....
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
Oh, this is hopeless.

You raised the spectre of oxygen spontaneously rising to the ceiling of my room, causing anoxia leading to death.
YOU please explain what natural, ordinarily occurring phenomenon would cause this to happen. Also, please report whether such a phenomenon has ever been known to have occurred, anywhere on earth, at any time.
Carjackings are known to have occurred, and in fact there will be many of them occurring this night across the globe. You mean to compare the likelihood of you getting carjacked (which I claim could happen any day and YOU claim will never happen to you 'cause on account of you're so prepared and all) with the likelihood of all the oxygen in my bedroom migrating to the ceiling spontaneously.
I ask you, dear audience, which of us is the lunatic?
