The equation says that the gravitational force between two objects – a planet and a star, say – of masses m1 and m2 can be calculated by multiplying the masses together, dividing by the square of the distance r between them, and multiplying by G, which encodes the strength of the gravitational force itself.

Hooke's claim on the law of gravity
Based on Galileo’s experiments, Newton develops the theory of gravity in his first book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (“Principia“) of 1686. Immediately after, Robert Hooke accused Newton of plagiarism, claiming that he unduly assumed his “notion” of “the rule of the decrease of Gravity, being reciprocally as the squares of the distances from the Center”. But, according to Edmond…

Guys we've been wrong the entire time!!!

I was telling my mom my theory of what earth would be like if gravity repelled from the center instead of pulling. All because my dad didn't understand the fourth dimension 💀 (ngl neither do I. The 4th dimension is time btw). Oh and this relates to the fourth dimension because the topic regards the ninth dimension (the plane of reality where the physics of the universe is altered).
Two theories of how this would work
Basically, you have the one most parallel to our dimension. That would mean earth would still look the same except there would be a layer of the atmosphere that would be nearly impenetrable meaning gases could exchange but humans and human products wouldn't be able to go through that layer of the atmosphere. The land would still be able to be used for cultivation and mining or whatever, but you'd have to take a helicopter or some sort of aircraft.
And the second theory is that earth's layers would be inversed and there would be a large hollow area in the center. So the land and how we use it and everything would be the same. Only difficulty then is light and gas exchanges. I haven't figured out how that would work. All I know is that you can't poke holes unless they have something with a higher melting point that rock reinforcing the tunnels because of the liquid layers that make up Earth. Plus they'd have to be naturally occurring. I can't imagine how long it would take to drill that far, not to mention the heat would probably kill you. I mean we're talking about going deeper than magma here.
Anyways, those are my theories.

Cartoons that start out silly or fun, but get darker/more serious themes, the longer the series progresses.
Feel free to add some more.
Edit#4: Since this post is getting way more attention than I ever thought it would have, how about I'll promote some of my work? Do you like cartoons and fanfiction? Then go check out my work on AO3!
Go leave a kudos and a comment, if you' will.
Edit: I went to bed and woke up to 200+ notes.
Edit2: I had to disable notifications for this post, 'cause my phone was beeping non-stop .
Edit 3: I just realized that I forgot to put "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Amphibia" in there... added them and removed Over the Garden wall.

I know the fandom trope of "Tim hates Dick for what he said in Red Robin" but like
He probably felt hurt for a minute but the second he saw Dick again it was instant forgiveness. He is in awe of his big brother, he thinks he has it all together (even though he very much doesn't), he thinks the world of Dick. in the alt universe vampire comic Tim probably forgave Dick for crushing his scull in. Tim at his core is a Dick Grayson Stan first, human second.
