Inside a black hole time stops altogether.
Whether or not this theory will ever be proved,
I'm moved to believe this would be the perfect place to love someone.
A crumpled ball of paper will fall at the same speed as a boulder of granite.
It doesn't matter how much something weighs,
It stays the same until you consider surface area and resistance,
At which point the persistence of gravity loses force.
Example:
Crumple a piece of paper into a ball.
It will fall faster than a loose sheet.
They are both composed of the same mass and weight,
So you'd think that the rate of velocity measured with the force of gravity
Would cause each to fall at the same speed.
But that's when you need to consider that the greater surface area of the loose sheet adds resistance.
So the crumpled ball will fall quickly,
But the loose sheet will slowly float.
I wrote a note.
Explaining that when two people are falling for each other,
They do so at the same speed.
There's no need to factor in the physics explanations
or something we can make no use of.
Einstein said: "Gravity won't be held responsible for people falling in love."
I wrote him a note.
Telling him: "If I fall in love with you,
No one will ever be able to explain it.
And I think that's beautiful."
