If you were to go in a zero G simulator, it would cost you about $4950 per person. Wow, that's a lot. I would rather go in space and feel the real thing. If I was to go in space, I would probably try to go out of our solar system and visit another universe; that's my dream. Instead, I am stuck here on earth because of a big thing called gravity.
Stephen Hawking is a brilliant man because of his vast theories of gravity. He says that quantum gravity is the reason for the existence of everything and spontaneous creation is the reason we are here today. Yet some people think we were all created by one God.
I don't believe in religion. I believe in the big bang theory. The big bang theory is what scientists believe to be how the vast space of the universes were created.
