The Great Gravitional Pull-down

Today's walk should be interesting.  It involves something I know nothing about and something I know everything about.  Maybe you will be able to shed some light on this complex and subjective subject of mine as we walk along together.  I must warn you that prior to this blog, I did a little research.  I turned to Google for research on Sir Isaac Newton and his law, but found it did not really apply to my subject (in other words, over my head) , so I scrolled a bit further and found the same, for "Dummies".  Aha!  that would be me!

To quote: " Gravitational Force and Distance:  When you are standing on Earth with your toes buried in the dirt, it may seem like the distance between you and Earth is zero.  But, the distance is measured between the centers of the two objects not the edges.  So the distance between you and Earth is the distance from the center of the earth to your belly button.  As the distance between two objects gets larger, the gravitational force between them gets smaller."

That makes perfect sense!  My gravitational force between my face and belly button has decreased, thus the HUGE gravitational pull on the skin of my face and my neck! This decrease has occurred due to the fact that I have already lost an inch in height due to the vertebral column collapse. (yes, that happens too!)  Following the same law, the space between my belly button and my breasts have decreased, thus the gravitational pull of my breast toward my belly button.  The same is happening at warp speed to the remainder of my body below the belly button.  At the rate this is going, my estimate is that I will be under the earth approximately twenty years earlier than my earlier prediction!

Since the law states that as the distance between two objects gets larger, the gravitational force between them gets smaller, I now understand why fat people do not have as many wrinkles!  Should I try to gain fifty pounds or so to reduce that gravitational pull-down? 

So................to all of you young things out there, I can only say, " Don't fight it!  You cannot win!  You may pay the plastic surgeon to remove the excess skin as it slides off its original landmark, and you may look younger for a few years, but you have to remember, this is an on-going process.  The universal law is there!  Sooner or later, the skin once again shows signs of sagging, the plastic surgeon fills his coffers with your money and believe me, this person is the only one winning!  He or she is now rich and you are poorer, but endowed with the artificial beauty that will eventually look weird as you continue to pursue your youth!  Then again, you could eat all the bad things you want, gain enough weight to slow the sagging, and still keep your money!

Oh, the pondering of it all, see you on our next walk..................................................
