I think it beats the sonic disruptor one.

Just another way of putting it. If I had to be exact, the gravity of the earth is all used up for centripetal force to keep the object in orbit. But since he was unlikely to have heard the term,GrandMasterTerwynn wrote: Just as wrong, I'm afraid. The reason why an object tends to stay in orbit is that it's moving forward fast enough that it falls over the limb of the planet. So, as a result, you're continuously falling, it's just that your fall doesn't end on solid ground.
