Anyway, it is a comment about a post you made about reverse gravity <A HREF="http://godplaysdice.blogspot.com/2007/12/what-if-gravity-reversed-itself.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>. You mention that the third possibility for how it happened seemed ridiculous because the gravity wouldn't "know" which direction to point on it's way to UP. I think it could also be a consequence of the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_ball_theorem" REL="nofollow">Hairy Ball Theorem</A>. Gravity can't lie tangent to the Earth everywhere because there will have to be a 'cowlick' somewhere, in which case gravity wouldn't be tangent.
