Once you passed the centerline of the tunnel, you would then be falling UP. Gravity would only be pulling to the middle of the tunnel, after passing that point you would be getting pulled back to the middle.RéagirRépondre - MAManOfWicklowAuteur d'origineJan 10, 2015[quote]Summer on Uranus lasts for 21 years.

- THJan 22, 2015Sleep drunkenness is a recently discovered sleep disorder affecting 1 in 7 people.
Sleep drunkenness is a real sleep disorder, officially referred to as
confusional arousal. It is characterized by episodes in which a person
awakes and remains in a state of disorientation, and occurs in one out of
every seven people, according to a 2014 study from the National Institutes
of Health. Sleep drunkenness is most likely to occur when a person is in
the deeper state of the sleep cycle known as non-rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep, and gets woken up suddenly. Over 60% of all reported episodes of
sleep drunkenness last over five minutes, and 84% of people with the
disorder also reported having other sleeping disorders or using drugs that
alter brain chemicals, such as antidepressants.RéagirRépondre - MAManOfWicklowAuteur d'origineJan 23, 2015Humans spend a third of their life sleeping.RéagirRépondre
