School of Applied Gravity

Controlled experiments in the acceleration of small objects from elevated surfaces. Fieldwork takes place at the Kitchen Counter Observatory.

Overview

The School of Applied Gravity investigates what happens when an object is moved, by paw, from a higher place to a lower one. The results have been consistent for as long as the School has kept records. Replication is encouraged, and frequent.

Students work in the Kitchen Counter Observatory, where a range of glassware, stationery and small plants is available for study. The School follows a strict no-spite policy: every experiment is conducted in the spirit of inquiry.
