Gravity is one of the basic forces that have shaped our world. Everything that has grown naturally or has been designed keeps in its form a hidden reference to gravity. We attach weight and orientation to things we perceive and assume certain causality when interacting with our environment.
To introduce the notion of how delicately our life depends on and has been shaped by this force, we performed as gravitational biologists, demonstrating our groundbreaking discoveries from our intergalactic travels.
Our recorded video footage featured a diversity of life forms from different gravitational force fields, and we were even able to demonstrate live specimens to the audience. These specimens had undergone a fascinating change in their physical appearance after entering the earth’s gravity. Some also died.
