JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: WE

00:02.433 --> 00:03.700 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
CAN'T SEE IT, BUT WE FEEL ITS

00:03.700 --> 00:04.800 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:20%
EFFECTS.

00:04.800 --> 00:05.900 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
IT IMPACTS EVERYTHING IN THE

00:05.900 --> 00:07.966 align:start position:20% line:84.66% size:57.5%
UNIVERSE. IT'S GRAVITY.

00:07.966 --> 00:09.800 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
COME DOWN TO EARTH AND LEARN

00:09.800 --> 00:11.066 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:17.5%
MORE...

00:11.533 --> 00:16.000 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:17.5%
(MUSIC)

00:16.000 --> 00:17.166 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
CARTAN-HANSEN: GRAVITY IS THE

00:17.166 --> 00:18.533 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:67.5%
FORCE OF ACTION BETWEEN TWO

00:18.533 --> 00:20.066 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
OBJECTS, IN THIS CASE BETWEEN

00:20.066 --> 00:22.433 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:62.5%
THE MELONS AND THE EARTH.

00:22.433 --> 00:24.000 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:67.5%
IN THE LATE 1600, SIR ISAAC

00:24.000 --> 00:25.633 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
NEWTON SAW AN APPLE FALL FROM A

00:25.633 --> 00:27.000 align:start position:42.5% line:84.66% size:12.5%
TREE.

00:27.000 --> 00:28.000 align:start position:32.5% line:84.66% size:35%
(THUMP, THUMP)

00:28.000 --> 00:28.966 align:start position:32.5% line:84.66% size:32.5%
THAT MADE HIM

00:28.966 --> 00:30.500 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
WONDER IF THE FORCE THAT MADE

00:30.500 --> 00:31.633 align:start position:32.5% line:84.66% size:35%
THE APPLE FALL

00:31.633 --> 00:32.866 align:start position:30% line:84.66% size:37.5%
(MORE THUMPING)

00:32.866 --> 00:34.266 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
WAS THE SAME FORCE THAT KEPT THE

00:34.266 --> 00:36.533 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
PLANETS IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN.

00:36.533 --> 00:37.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
NEWTON CHANGED THE WAY WE ALL

00:37.900 --> 00:39.966 align:start position:30% line:84.66% size:40%
LOOK AT GRAVITY.

00:39.966 --> 00:41.166 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
CARTAN-HANSEN: TO TALK ABOUT

00:41.166 --> 00:42.333 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
GRAVITY, YOU FIRST HAVE TO TALK

00:42.333 --> 00:43.800 align:start position:22.5% line:84.66% size:55%
ABOUT MASS AND MATTER.

00:43.800 --> 00:45.700 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
NOW MATTER TAKES UP SPACE AND

00:45.700 --> 00:47.233 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:22.5%
HAS MASS.

00:47.233 --> 00:49.166 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
AND MASS IS A MEASUREMENT OF HOW

00:49.166 --> 00:51.266 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:65%
MUCH MATTER SOMETHING HAS.

00:51.266 --> 00:52.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
THE MORE SOMETHING WEIGHS, THE

00:52.900 --> 00:54.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
MORE MASS IT HAS AND THE MORE

00:54.900 --> 00:56.900 align:start position:25% line:84.66% size:50%
GRAVITY PULLS ON IT.

00:56.900 --> 00:58.700 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
BUT THE EARTH'S GRAVITATIONAL

00:58.700 --> 01:01.266 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
PULL IS STRONG BECAUSE IT IS SO

01:01.266 --> 01:03.166 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:25%
MUCH MASS.

01:03.166 --> 01:04.633 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:67.5%
THE GREATER THE MASS OF THE

01:04.633 --> 01:06.066 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
OBJECT, THE GREATER THE FORCE OF

01:06.066 --> 01:07.700 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:20%
GRAVITY.

01:07.700 --> 01:09.166 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
ASTRONAUTS COULD BOUNCE EASILY

01:09.166 --> 01:10.966 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
ON THE MOON BECAUSE THE MOON'S

01:10.966 --> 01:12.266 align:start position:20% line:84.66% size:60%
GRAVITY IS LESS THAN THE

01:12.266 --> 01:14.000 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
EARTH'S...BECAUSE THE MOON HAS

01:14.000 --> 01:16.700 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:62.5%
LESS MASS THAN THE EARTH.

01:16.700 --> 01:18.000 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
STUDENT: DOES THAT MEAN I WEIGH

01:18.000 --> 01:19.333 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
A DIFFERENT AMOUNT ON DIFFERENT

01:19.333 --> 01:20.500 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:20%
PLANETS?

01:20.500 --> 01:22.266 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
CARTAN-HANSEN: WELL ON EARTH

01:22.266 --> 01:24.166 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
SUPPOSE YOU WEIGH 100 POUNDS.

01:24.166 --> 01:25.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
IF YOU WERE ON THE MOON, YOU'D

01:25.900 --> 01:27.633 align:start position:22.5% line:84.66% size:55%
WEIGH ABOUT 17 POUNDS.

01:27.633 --> 01:29.166 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
BUT, IF YOU WERE ON A BIGGER

01:29.166 --> 01:30.533 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:67.5%
PLANET, SAY, JUPITER, YOU'D

01:30.533 --> 01:32.266 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
WEIGH MORE THAN A WHOPPING 236

01:32.266 --> 01:33.266 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:17.5%
POUNDS.

01:33.266 --> 01:35.166 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
AND GRAVITY'S AFFECT DEPENDS ON

01:35.166 --> 01:37.100 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
HOW CLOSE OBJECTS ARE TO ONE

01:37.100 --> 01:37.966 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:20%
ANOTHER.

01:37.966 --> 01:39.733 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
THE EARTH'S GRAVITATIONAL PULL

01:39.733 --> 01:41.633 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
ON SAY, PLUTO, ISN'T VERY STRONG

01:41.633 --> 01:44.433 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
BECAUSE PLUTO IS SO FAR AWAY.

01:44.433 --> 01:46.000 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
BUT THE EARTH'S GRAVITATIONAL

01:46.000 --> 01:48.166 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:65%
PULL ON THE MOON IS GREAT.

01:48.166 --> 01:49.900 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
THE EARTH'S GRAVITY KEEPS THE

01:49.900 --> 01:51.800 align:start position:32.5% line:84.66% size:35%
MOON IN ORBIT.

01:51.800 --> 01:53.633 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
STUDENT: SO IF EARTH'S GRAVITY

01:53.633 --> 01:55.500 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
IS SO STRONG, HOW DO ASTRONAUTS

01:55.500 --> 01:57.500 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
GET INTO SPACE AND WHY DO THEY

01:57.500 --> 01:59.000 align:start position:27.5% line:84.66% size:42.5%
JUST FLOAT THERE?

01:59.000 --> 02:00.433 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
CARTAN-HANSEN: ASTRONAUTS CAN

02:00.433 --> 02:02.066 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
TAKE OFF FROM THE EARTH BECAUSE

02:02.066 --> 02:03.866 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
THE THRUST EXERTED BY THE POWER

02:03.866 --> 02:05.233 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
OF THE ROCKET IS GREATER THAN

02:05.233 --> 02:06.700 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
THE FORCE OF GRAVITY PULLING

02:06.700 --> 02:07.800 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:25%
THEM DOWN.

02:07.800 --> 02:09.433 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:67.5%
BUT ASTRONAUTS NEVER TRAVEL

02:09.433 --> 02:10.966 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
BEYOND THE EARTH'S GRAVITATIONAL

02:10.966 --> 02:11.900 align:start position:42.5% line:84.66% size:12.5%
PULL.

02:11.900 --> 02:13.166 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
AND THEY ACTUALLY AREN'T REALLY

02:13.166 --> 02:14.066 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:22.5%
FLOATING.

02:14.066 --> 02:15.333 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:62.5%
THEY ARE, IN FACT, ALWAYS

02:15.333 --> 02:16.866 align:start position:22.5% line:84.66% size:52.5%
FALLING TOWARD EARTH.

02:16.866 --> 02:18.433 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
BUT SINCE THEY ARE ALSO MOVING

02:18.433 --> 02:20.066 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
FORWARD, THEY FALL AROUND THE

02:20.066 --> 02:22.000 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
EARTH IN A CIRCLE OR AN ORBIT.

02:22.000 --> 02:23.700 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
TO THE ASTRONAUTS, THIS CONSTANT

02:23.700 --> 02:25.633 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
STATE OF FALLING JUST FEELS LIKE

02:25.633 --> 02:26.433 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:22.5%
FLOATING.

02:26.433 --> 02:27.533 align:start position:22.5% line:84.66% size:55%
IT'S CALLED A STATE OF

02:27.533 --> 02:30.266 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
WEIGHTLESSNESS OR ZERO GRAVITY.

02:30.900 --> 02:32.166 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
THESE BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY

02:32.166 --> 02:33.700 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
ENGINEERING STUDENTS ARE FLYING

02:33.700 --> 02:35.600 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
IN A SPECIAL AIRPLANE THAT CAN

02:35.600 --> 02:36.600 align:start position:27.5% line:84.66% size:42.5%
CREATE MOMENTS OF

02:36.600 --> 02:38.100 align:start position:30% line:84.66% size:37.5%
WEIGHTLESSNESS.

02:38.100 --> 02:41.433 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:65%
STUDENTS: "WHOO!" "ZERO G"

02:41.433 --> 02:42.533 align:start position:20% line:84.66% size:57.5%
CARTAN-HANSEN: THEY ARE

DIFFERENT WHEEL TREAD DESIGNS ON

02:47.000 --> 02:48.433 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:67.5%

02:54.266 --> 02:55.333 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
STUDENTS: "BEST FEELING IN THE

02:55.333 --> 02:56.600 align:start position:40% line:84.66% size:17.5%
WORLD!"

02:56.600 --> 02:58.100 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
CARTAN-HANSEN: GRAVITY AFFECTS

02:58.100 --> 02:59.433 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
EVERYTHING ON EARTH, INCLUDING

02:59.433 --> 03:00.433 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:25%
THE EARTH.

03:00.433 --> 03:01.866 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
GRAVITY FROM THE MOON PULLS AT

03:01.866 --> 03:03.266 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:80%
OUR OCEANS CAUSING HIGH TIDE AND

03:03.266 --> 03:04.733 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:22.5%
LOW TIDE.

03:04.733 --> 03:06.266 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
GRAVITY PULLS WATER FROM THE

03:06.266 --> 03:07.533 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
CLOUDS CAUSING RAIN AND SNOW.

03:07.533 --> 03:10.066 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
GRAVITY TUGS AT ROCKS, CAUSING

03:10.066 --> 03:12.366 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
SIMPLE LOOSE ROCKS TO MOVE OR

03:12.366 --> 03:14.800 align:start position:10% line:84.66% size:77.5%
WHOLE HILL SIDES TO SLIDE DOWN.

03:14.800 --> 03:16.333 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:65%
EVEN STARS AND PLANETS ARE

03:16.333 --> 03:18.433 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:75%
FORMED WHEN GRAVITY PULLS DUST

03:18.433 --> 03:19.700 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:62.5%
AND OTHER SMALL PARTICLES

03:19.700 --> 03:21.000 align:start position:37.5% line:84.66% size:22.5%
TOGETHER.

03:21.000 --> 03:22.333 align:start position:17.5% line:84.66% size:62.5%
SO, GRAVITY IS ONE OF THE

03:22.333 --> 03:24.266 align:start position:12.5% line:84.66% size:72.5%
FUNDAMENTAL FORCES IN NATURE.

03:24.266 --> 03:25.233 align:start position:32.5% line:84.66% size:35%

STUDENT: YEA.

03:27.500 --> 03:28.700 align:start position:15% line:84.66% size:70%
WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN.

03:28.700 --> 03:30.700 align:start position:27.5% line:84.66% size:45%
IT'S JUST GRAVITY.
