the person on the ground is falling..


people fall in holes...

the earth is falling

everything is falling..

While person is falling into a hole, and not touching anything, they're 
inertial (ignoring air resistance). Before they started to fall, they 
were not inertial. When they reach the bottom of the hole, they're again 
not inertial.

(i was thinking of a bottom less hole)


i'm a little confused, the earth is faling with the person at the same
time...
if they are both falling at the sametime...where is the resistance?

Now, some of yous might be under the impression that
what holds the earth also drops the earth..
or
the force that keeps the earth from falling is the same force that makes
things ....fall.


i don't buy it.

Every massive body in the universe is falling in some kind of CURVED 
n-body orbit...where n = infinity.
Please don't try to calculate any...

rarely do what? continously fall??


You barely can stay awake, you Fall asleep!

You got 6 billion people everyday Falling asleep. 

You are continously balancing yourself so you don't Fall.

You got 6 billion people everyday ...falling.

Birds don't fly, they fall.

And when you fall, you fall in a straight line.


Name on thing that doesn't fall in a straight line? If you can...

You're trying to tell me 6 billion on earth are balancing themselves

a force you call Gravity is making them fall? That doesn't make sense.
Why would Gravity want to make 
6 billion people fall, and hold onto the Earth at the same time????

No. There in no gravity theory yet.
