He sipped, and his face took on an expression of great gravity.
The question of prediction becomes one of great gravity when watching footage like that, especially when the upshot is that time on a human scale and time on a geological scale remain inevitably out of step with each other.
If it was a shame that his first win should come in a week when minds had been deflected towards matters of greater gravity, then he may be consoled by the belief that there will surely be many more chances to celebrate without restraint.
Of course, one could say as much about, oh, love and death and other experiences of the greatest gravity, and the banalization of violence through endless and numbingly ordinary cinematic depictions is a more grievous and endemic societal ill.
When a source peak is contained within more than one target ROI (i.e., two or more target ROIs overlap), the Newton assignment algorithm assigns the source peak to the target ROI with the greatest "gravity metric" (product of source peak and target peak intensities divided by the spectral distance between the source and target peak summed over all target peaks).
The boy's Indian nanny holds him with the affection and assurance that appears to be coded into the DNA of women in this part of the world, but the anxiety etched on her features suggests that what has disturbed the boy is of far greater gravity than an interrupted nap or an attack of colic.

This use of the Holocaust not only gives the appearance of establishing one's credentials as a person of great moral gravity; it also stymies criticism.
In it Archimedes determines the different positions of stability that a right paraboloid of revolution assumes when floating in a fluid of greater specific gravity, according to geometric and hydrostatic variations.
But there is also a major difference: Maxwell never returned from his sea voyage, while Jabez, brought back to Britain after fleeing to Argentina, stood trial and was convicted of a fraud 'of great gravity'.
