Whenever I have a brain fart, my 12 year old daughter loudly and sarcastically thanks Thomas. Words can't express how much I appreciate her sense of humor.

ScienceClic on Youtube has amazing videos on this topic as does Veritasium. Einstein's happiest thought helps with understanding this. He thought that there would be no discernible difference between what a man felt while falling off a ladder (let's not factor in air resistance) and what a person in 0g space felt.

We are actually "accelerating" upwards at a constant rate that is equal to what we feel and many think of as gravity. This is because spacetime is curved by the mass of the earth.

Think of a grid being distorted or squeezed / pinched. The distortion pinching is "gravity". Everything in the grid still travels in a straight path relative tot he lines on the grid but since the [spacetime] grid is pinched, it looks as if it is not on a straight path.

I dislike this new trend of trying to make your site's text look like LLM output. It's incredibly annoying to read at a fixed slow pace.

Please verify your first claim and I'll admit I was wrong.

USDT is another "cryptocurrency". I put that in quotes as they can print it at their leisure. They claim to be backed by USD but have never been audited. The market cap grows by billions a month.

BTC and USDT is a common trading pair on crypto exchanges.

As a result, those behind USDT can print it and buy BTC to manipulate the price.

Don't get me started on exchanges allowing you to trade with yourself. This field is tainted with shady practices.
