I am really beginning to believe that my biggest arch-nemesis in life has always been gravity. Now look, I get the basic ideas of astrophysics and I understand - as best I can - the ideas of Einstein and others, so I know that without gravity, one of the four forces of nature, I - and by the by, you - would simply not exist.
