floating away


This scene doesn't really happen in the movie. But Doc does make this comment and it made me wonder. What if there were some sort of problem with gravity in the future! That would be nuts! First of all your coffee table would float away, and then your lamp would float to the ceiling. And don't even try to give your dog a bone, because it will fly away too. Wow! This is heavy. But actually it is light.

Why is it so hard to become an astronaut?

Now, I'm no scientist, but if things were really too heavy in the future, then they wouldn't be floating away. You'd have a hard time picking things up and street lamps would be more apt to fall on you.
