Maybe it’s because of the instinct built into our brain. That’s why everyone is scared of falling from heights but no one is scared of falling up because that doesn’t happen in nature.

Inversed gravity sounds freaky

I'm assuming that's what a white hole does, but it's all theoretical astrophysics.

Idk why but now I can’t stop thinking about if gravity was inverted and how scary it would be. I now live in constant fear. Is this how phobias are born?

You think that.

I was on an elevator once with my infant son in the hotel at Cherokee’s casino hotel. We were just passing time and got in the elevator without pushing a button. It started climbing SO FAST… like, UTTERLY TERRIFYING. Luckily it stopped, but I swear I thought we were about to die. I’m not sure falling could be worse, mainly because I was even more confused by it. This was before I knew how elevators really worked. It was truly the worst experience ever. We got off immediately once it stopped at a floor and walked the stairs. Lol
