"In the absence of gravity to pull the water down, it took a shake or a quick squeeze from Commander Hadfield for the washcloth to release the water".
Talk story about weightlessness, a phenomenon induced by the absence of gravity, which is a condition that scientists concerned with bio-astronautics call zero-G.
Many of the claims advanced for the station -- such as the opportunity it provides to grow perfect crystals in the absence of gravity and to perform other exquisite manufacturing tasks -- have been hyped beyond reason and debunked by expert committees.
By Paul Brodeur The New Yorker, December 23 , 1961P. 17 Talk story about weightlessness, a phenomenon induced by the absence of gravity, which is a condition that scientists concerned with bio-astronautics call zero-G.
For a variety of reasons – weight, lack of storage space, absence of gravity, distance from the nearest supermarket – much of the food that's sent up to the ISS is dehydrated and contained in vacuum packs.
No, it was not an allusion to the debt-ridden state of the Italian economy but rather the flowing weightlessness, or, as the designer said, the "absence of gravity" of her dresses.
Inspired by the theory that human brains would function more efficiently in the absence of gravity and by a belief in the higher intelligence of dolphins, Mr. Michels envisioned "Bluestar" as a huge glass sphere with water for dolphins and rings, like those of Saturn, for humans.
Studying systems and processes in the absence of gravity gives scientists a unique perspective.
A paradigmatic case in point is provided by studying cell populations growing in absence of gravity.
Rahman et al. [13] solved free surface flow in the presence or absence of gravity.
The absence of gravity eliminates the natural convection and buoyancy forces and consequently the frictional forces.
