That’s called General Relativity and Reference Frames.
Start watching PBS Spacetime if you actually want to get into it.
You’re also entirely missing the point of the comment that was a joke entirely re-explaining the “reason” for ghosts ending up at the center of the Earth, which is implied by the original comment.
Mass distorts spacetime, which to an outside observer appears to change the direction light travels. The light travels in a straight line.
Gravity doesn’t alter the particle’s trajectory (or ours, for that matter). The warping of spacetime from Earth’s mass causes our movement through space to accelerate “down” at ~9.8 m/s^2
So the ghosts are in the center of the Earth, in nearly literal hell.
Oof, sorry to hear that. And yeah I think folks in the Leaf subreddit were calling them “crocodile” cells/packs, and I’m completely blanking on the internal name, only vaguely remembering one translation as ‘high heat’ which was incorporated into the warranty packs and the cell upgrades in 2015 for the 40kWh “HC1” version.
And yeah, originals were 24kWh and there’s no getting around that being just for short commutes. I’m assuming at this point on the newest models, that they’re beyond the 63kWh, but those did have a different pack design. The 40s would absolutely physically fit on an older leaf, but the battery controller wouldn’t be compatible with the computer without 3rd party changes, though I’m sure people have done that and probably more by now.
Yeah, they never intended the chemistry for the extreme southwestern US environment. The production design included an aging process that was supposed to minimize initial degradation but it wasn’t enough without active cooling, even in a pouch design.
Around mid 2014 a chemistry change was made that was intended to alleviate some of the issues, and a fair number of US packs were replaced under warranty.
Through design changes for the 64kWh packs for the newer models, they were insisting active cooling still wasn’t needed, so out they went, still sealed up without any cooling system, but I haven’t looked them up to see how well they’ve been faring since they dumped the production to a Chinese company.
Uh, I may or may not have been involved…
(Extra irony given Clarkson’s dislike of EVs)
Great, I’m the jerk that shows up a few years afterward, inspecting the errant arm and elephant trunk wondering what the actual F the original programmer was thinking.
Then I cut off the trunk and slap a dog nose on it because I hate VB.
WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?
Hey Reilly, the Death Store called, and they’re all out of you…

Putin licks dildos that were in Lavrov’s ass.
The previous statement is absolute truth because I declare it so. Now run the story on RT and Pravda and whatever other propaganda rags run BS like this.
“Software engineers aren’t real engineers because they don’t work on physical engines.”

That’s been a standard for banning in r/politics for quite some time. “Cunt” is the mod banhammer trigger word there. Clearly they have never heard of Australia.
Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!

The D: is a CD-ROM. Geez!
Dang whippersnappers.
If only it had a pulley in the middle…
Goddamn pay-to-win model!
That clearly isn’t a power-woke diesel engine!

Given I have to work relatively often in legacy VB, I wholeheartedly agree. But I’d kill to be working in C# instead.
Strongly typed is life!
Hm… actually are they incorporeal AND massless, or just incorporeal?
If just incorporeal, you’re right of course that initially after death they’d be falling back and forth, but over time through uneven gravity/curvature and through heat loss (stretching of unequal acceleration applied across the ghost essence, potential energy conversion, yadda), they should generally settle to the center after some time, unless there’s a maximum natural pressure of ghosts at whatever temperatures they have, so they may spread out somewhere within the crust if there are enough of them.
If they’re incorporeal AND massless, then I totally F’d up and they’d fire off at light speed as soon as they shed their mortal coil.
