Social Gravity
A physicist's guide to people. Mostly accurate. Occasionally useful.
Gravity: the force that pulls two objects toward each other.
Proportional to mass.
Inversely proportional to distance squared.
Also: the reason you feel weird when a new person sits too close on the bus.
Social Gravity applies physics to people.
What this Item is
Social Gravity is a learning pack that explains social dynamics through physics.
Each sequence takes one social concept and maps it to one physics principle.
**Gravity = closeness — the pull between people
Friction = conflict — the resistance when surfaces meet
Momentum = conversation — energy that needs to be maintained
Entropy = relationship decay — the natural drift toward disorder
Orbit = maintenance — the constant adjustment that keeps things stable**
The physicist narrator is precise, analytical, and slightly confused by people.
The people in the diagrams are messy, emotional, and slightly confused by the diagrams.
The gap between precision and mess IS the product.
