GRAVITY IS SO RUDE

Not only is gravity holding you down, it’s also holding you back.

The shock wave of universe expansion from the big bang and subsequent black hole collisions are still rippling through space and time, making that stuff that pulls apples from trees to bonk scientists on the head and come up with wild theories. This, thinks some scientists in Paris, is probably the reason you can’t be in several places at once, even though that’s not true for the subatomic particles that make you up–you’re just too heavy and too big. In other words, quantum physics thinks you’re fat.
