![]() ![]() Let’s take 60 kg as an adult’s mass, and a distance of 1 meter that gives a gravitational acceleration of 4 x 10 -9 m s -2, so just three adults nearby would have the same gravitational effect on you as Mars! ![]() How does this compare with variations in gravitational force due to adults standing nearby (everyone has a mother, so we won’t count her)? And both of these, from Mars, are totally – and I mean totally – overwhelmed by those same forces that were produced by things near you when you were delivered. Nearly five centuries of physics have given us quite a few certainties, and among those are that the only long range forces in the universe are gravity and electromagnetism. These local differences have far greater effects on the babies than Mars does. ‘Downtown’ is just a few meters above sea level the village is situated on a 1000 meter high plateau. One is born in a brightly lit maternity ward in a downtown big city hospital the other in a poorly lit room in a village 50 kilometers from the nearest big city. ![]() One has two nurses and a doctor attending the other, just a midwife.
