    • @TGears314
      @TGears314 6 років тому +29

      It doesn't feel like your falling any more than it feels like your falling in an elevator. If everything around you is falling at the same speed, you don't notice or feel it. The sensation of falling is a combination of the fluid in your ears being adjusted by gravity pulling on it and the feeling of the air you move through. So if you and the air around you are moving together at the same speed, and there is no gravity to mess with the fluid in your ears, you won't be sensing a fall.

    • @ANGRYpooCHUCKER
      @ANGRYpooCHUCKER 5 років тому +13

      Actually the station is in constant freefall, so although the air won't be rushing past you, you will be in zero G which is free-falling. It affects all the fluids in your body, including your blood, and your organs and such. It would still feel weird.

      Hope this helps; I got 128 / 500 in my HSC ( Australian Senior school exam ) They didn't have computers, they didn't have technical design subjects. I hated maths - got 30% .. DSo when I left, I went to a TAFE (I think you call it a College) which taught practical rather than theory. Instead of trigonometry ie heres a triangle with 2 angles, whats the third, I got asked to use trig to check if a crankshaft will allow the piston rod to clear the cylinder.
      I got 68% + in maths 6 months after the HSC. It taught me that you cannot stick everyone in the same chicken coup and expect the same results. Some people have a much better awareness of the Overall picture of things (ie see the whole jigsaw picture, not the pieces) and therefore less ability to see and worry about the details like what Capt Kelly said ADHD.. Once I found a place that fitted me, I spent 17 years in a Technical / Engineering Government sector and enjoyed it and was a valuable player.
      Jo hope you find your place. Get tested for VAK [Visual, Audio, Kinetic (touch)] out of 40 I was 2 Audio, 37 visual, 1 Kinetic. Shows what type of job I should have been in. Good luck.

Never saw the doctor, caused problems all through school, only took my sophomore astronomy class in high school seriously and aced it.

      Vikas Chandrawanshi yeah and they're like the root cause of aging. Besides oxygen of course. I think it's amazing that cells need oxygen to live but it's also been proven that "freezing" a cell right before it dies by putting it in an oxygen free environment will suspend death indefinitely. At the moment the oxygen is added, the cell will burst effectively dying. This obviously isn't the same as immortality or anything and it certainly wouldn't work for any living creature but essentially, the process that causes a cell to die is triggered by oxygen

    • @raysills
      @raysills 6 років тому +8

      For a good portion of Earth's history, oxygen was just a toxic element, emitted by blue-green algae, after processing the more predominant carbon dioxide. Then, evolution did it's magic, and creatures evolved that were able to use oxygen as a fuel source, which gave them an advantage, since oxygen reactions carry more energy... (witness fire, for example). So, most earth organisms need oxygen to carry on, but eventually it catches up with them. Individuals eventually die, but the adapted species lives on, until outside conditions change.
