Ack! You found my weakness!

Perhaps, but does not the word "constantly" best relate to physics, or perhaps the study of word use when applied to describing someone's behavior?

Your posting may be constant, like the force of gravity, for all we know.

[Taera]

constant related to what? the higher you go the less the gravity so it depends

[Fyron]

Gravity is constant in that the rate of change of the force due to gravity is constant.

I think you need to study anti-logic to quantify Fryon.

That only works in specialized circumstances; perhaps gravity is constant in that that G, the gravitational constant, is constant.

Well, I'm definately a 'Constant', and that's alot better than being a 'Variable' IHMO.

hmmm,.. but then again my post count is always changing, so I might be a 'variable' disguised as a 'constant'.

Come to think of it, many of the people here would best be described as 'Regulars',..

So I'm happy to announce I'm a regular guy.

Cheers!

P.S. I thought Gravity was 'relitive' not 'constant'. And if I'm not wrong it's relitive to mass, right?

Force from gravity is relative, sure:

F = G((M * m)/(d^2))

Where F is the magnitude of the force due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant (it is only sort of constant, as it depends on the units used), M and m are the two masses involved and d is the distance between the two masses. The direction is towards the other object.

Also, as Acceleration = Force/Mass, the acceleration is also relative.
