Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

hmmm....A PhD once said that to complete, you need to be obsessed with your subject to aspergian levels. I suspect that a goodly number of PhDs are not so much smart as autistic spectrum.
Having said that, I can clearly recall being taught in primary school that the moon (and the planets) have gravity, but that its strength is related to the mass of the planet. This was one of those things that was mentioned a few times throughout my years of schooling.
It seems that some people just don't pay attention.
