What happens to used gravity?
———- from Pebble Gifford ofMoynihan’s Bluff, CA
You leave behind residual gravity with every step you take. Since gravity itself remains so plentiful, this second-hand gravity is of little use to the lay person. It’s used mainly by unscrupulous gravity mongers, who mix it with helium and sell it to basketball teams. Then, through a complicated and illegal remote control system called Ayrgeor Dan, they control passage of the ball and the outcome of games, raking in millions with side bets. So, used gravity is mainly used for point shaving. Until now, gravity has been provided free. If the illegal use of gravity does not cease, the makers of gravity will soon be forced to charge a gravity toll and lawyers will be chasing our footsteps the same way they now chase ambulances. The world will go broke paying legal fees and fly off into space. Short of making basketball illegal, however, I see no easy solution. Personally, I gave up sports when the Pong craze gave way to Pac-Man.
