Now that magic is valid in science I'm openly challenging gravitational theory in my science class:
I'm calling it, "Intelligent Falling."

Thanks to Richard Dawkins.

1. I would've gone with Intelligent Sucking myself.
Just rolls off the tongue better.

2. science is approaching magic (think quantum physics). It may get there eventually.

3. And the whole problem is that it's still a theory of gravity
science happily NAMED it, but can't splain it, Lucy. So....it's up for grabs.

12. Law's are still theories
In science, there are truly no laws, only theories.

Even a "Law" can still be demonstrated to be false and a new theory presented to replace it.

9. Well since science can't explain the 30% of the produced greenhouse gases that escape into space
I think it is because of over consumption of gravity.

I think Western Nations are too fat and are using too much gravity. Therefore, I am instituting a cap and trade system for gravity credits. I will administer it cheaply, and therefore will only take a few million off the top each year.

Those that don't pay the tax will just float away. It might solve a lot of er.....problems for the gravity deprived countries out there.

13. Speaking of gravity did anyone see that meditating Buddhist/Hindu woman in Brazil
practically floating by just holding a stick?

I saw her doing this on television but I can't remember the network, apparently she travels the world over doing this. I just caught a few minutes of it.
