I took no physics until college, and only after one semester of calculus.  Fortunately Professor Blanchard told us that the cause of gravity was unknown.  When I first heard this at age 18, I figured that gravity was probably due to a mass like the earth creating a void in space that other objects were trying to fall into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On something completely unrelated here, after studying Saturday night at College Library I would wander across the street to Memorial Union to watch Saturday Night Live where it would be on in a room on the first floor.
