>"Oh... so it's gonna be hard?"
>You didn't know a lot of science at all! In fact, you do not know that much now either. While you understand gravity on a global scale, the smaller details still escape you.

>"Yeah. I got it working through trial and error, and a lot of it. I still don't understand how it actually works."
>We understand physics well enough to write a book about Dyson spheres, but we don't know anything about the physics behind gravity? Kinda strange.

>Actually, not all of the books in your library are 100% original. For all we know Alice may have picked some sort of strange pseudoscience fanfiction and got it running.

>It was? Oh, silly me.
>Still, you can say that gravity, as a fundamental force, is a much more complex thing to understand!

>You see Alice starting to float down, and yourself too. You're floating down faster, so at least Alice got the proportions right this time.

>You float once more. Alice has been keeping her focus on flight all along, so the gravitational pull isn't affecting her.
>The thing is, that gravity is a little bit too strong in here.

>Density is an intrinsic nature of matter, thus, it is correct. If it wasn't, you'd be disintegrating or something!

>True, but density isn't a constant. Things can be more or less dense than normal =[
