Think Science Fiction: Would there be gravity if you were a drawing on a piece of paper?

If you were actually a living drawing on a paper would there be gravity? Just wondering, use your imagination please explain why!

  1. Yeah...duhhh. Unless your in outer space.
  2. well, i'm just a still picture, so there would be no gravity (or movement). If I were to set my own gravity though, nah, i'd remove it. It would help me to find a way out of the paper.
  3. Haha, nice one :p no there wouldn't be until someone draws some ground beneath your feet.
  4. You mean like in Flatland? Gravity is the mutual attraction of all mass. This paradigm works just as well in 2 dimensions as 3. Haven't you ever played a sidescrolling platformer? The problem is, if the paper has mass, the gravity would be uniformly static as long as you are on the paper. If you are talking about actually being a living drawing on a piece of paper on a desk, we might as well throw physics away, but any gravity on your ink/graphite particles would be balanced by their friction/cohesion with the paper fibers. If you were to be somehow animated, your particles would have to climb across the fibrous surface of the paper, and on a microscopic scale they would have to fight gravity to do so. This is conceivable if you are made of some kind of advanced carbon nanotechnology, probably with spider-like nanotube legs.
  5. As long as three dimensions still exist even if you aren't able to see them as three dimensions, then gravity would still exist in your two dimensional world.
  6. gravity is every where. so yes there would be. you are pressing down on the pen/pencil and gravity is pressing down on you. As the paper has your force /gravity -9.81 you are both combined. The reason why is that if there was no gravity you could not write on the paper. You would be floating so would the paper pencil and what ever else is with you.
  7. there would be nothing
  8. Sure. Why not? Look in the real world. Decode this lyrics " You'll see " "Wonderful world" Basic science? Ninth grades? Air has gravity. Luke 21.30-36 Luke 24.44-45,47-48 What do you think?
  9. in a fantasy setting nothing is there except what you decide should be there.
