I mean, sure, but that'd be like saying I'm pulling the earth towards me when I jump.

Isn't that canceled out by the pushing you do when you start to jump?

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but then I pull it back as I'm falling.

You don't have to jump, you're already doing it. Some of us more than others... *Looks in mirror and hangs head

If you have ever done a handstand then you have lifted over your head the weight that the entire mass of the earth has in your own gravitational field.
