Gravity is the weakest force in the universe. So what's the worst that could happen if it disappeared for just one second? You'd float for a moment, sure. But that's where most people stop thinking — and where the real physics begins.

Then gravity snaps back, and the whole planet rings like a bell. In this video, we peel back the layers of gravity's invisible work — starting from a coff...
