Up and Gone

A Day In The Life Of Daniel Viator

Science: it works.

Someone on the other side of the Earth is not upside-down because we are all being pulled in the same direction no matter where we are. Gravity pulls us all towards a particular spot, in this case: the center of the Earth. The direction of that pull is referred to as ‘down.’ If someone on the other side of the Earth were really upside down they would be hurled into outer space at roughly 9.8m/s^2
