− | + | There is no set rule that says the ground is down{{Template:Citation_needed}}. Yes, that is what most people think{{Template:Citation_needed}}, and what your body's instincts default to{{Template:Citation_needed}}, but down can be any direction. [[Beret Guy]] handles this in his usual way, by defining down to be toward the sky. Forcing yourself to think in a different perspective changes a lot of things that are usually thought of as mundanities. Here we are challenged with the perspective that we live pulled (by Earth's gravity) towards a ceiling (land/oceans) hanging over a bottomless abyss (space seems to be limitless). If gravity (under no control of our own) were to fail we would fly{{Template:Citation_needed}} helplessly off into the abyss. If a hole actually had no bottom, there would be no gravitational force towards its non-existing bottom. | |

Since "down" is currently the direction space is in, there would be no "bottom" for the bird to hit, unless one were to define it as the edge of the atmosphere. If the bird were to have made a sound there, it is unlikely that the person who dropped it would be able to hear it. However, it is more likely that instead of falling into space, the bird just flew away. |
