Chapter 158: Lynn's Bold Theory - Gravity Doesn't Exist?

Darkness?

Raphael and the others paused for a moment, and then all the lights in the hall disappeared, leaving only the skylight on the roof still emitting a faint glow, shining down on the platform.

Everyone's attention naturally focused, and Lynn's figure quickly appeared before them, a faint smile on his face. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's magical symposium. Thank you for taking the time to attend."

The previously noisy symposium hall immediately turned into a lively scene, with all sorts of discussions, and some even shouted loudly.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Lynn, I have a few questions about the method you proposed for calculating the angle between the Earth's core. Also, what do you mean by cube, square, and square root?"

"What is the radius and volume of our planet? Is it 86,000 billion cubic kilometers or 12,300 billion cubic kilometers?"

"Lynn, when you mentioned weighing the planet, is it done using some special magic or a method similar to measuring the circumference?"

A variety of questions followed, with some wizards curious about the weighing method, while others wanted to confirm the accuracy of their calculations.

Calculating, while not too difficult for wizards with good mathematical minds, varied in proficiency among individuals. Combined with the vast amount of data about the planet, even a slight error in the calculations could lead to vastly different results.

So, after two days of fermentation, thousands of wizards had managed to produce several different answers, leading to heated arguments and almost turning into a brawl to determine who was right.

"Quiet down... quiet down! Now is not the time for questions!" A senior wizard presiding over the symposium banged on the table impatiently, temporarily silencing the increasingly boisterous discussions.

Although the concept of gravity had been introduced for some time and, after the experiments of free fall, had almost become synonymous with weight, the idea that an object's weight could change or even disappear with the strength of gravity still exceeded their imagination.

This was challenging their existing beliefs!

Before long, another wizard stood up and retorted, "Lynn, I apologize, but I cannot agree with this concept. Are you saying that whether it's dirt or gold, once they leave the influence of gravity, they have no difference in weight and are lighter than feathers?"

"They are, of course, different because they have different masses. What we perceive as weight is actually the product of an object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity!" Lynn explained calmly.

"Mass? What's that?" The witch who had just stood up had a puzzled expression on her face.

"You can think of it as the total amount of elements contained within an object," Lynn explained as succinctly as possible. "It's an intrinsic, fundamental property of matter that doesn't change with external factors such as temperature, pressure, or velocity... Whether you place it on a planet or in the universe, this value remains the same!"

The discussion in the hall became intense once again, focusing on Lynn's new concept of using mass to replace weight.

Everything in the world was composed of elements, common knowledge in the land of the wizards, so Lynn's words were not too difficult to understand. However, what he said next left everyone in shock.

"Furthermore, in my view, gravity may not even exist!" Lynn didn't hesitate to express his controversial theory.

The symposium erupted in an uproar as over a thousand wizards stood up, looking at Lynn in disbelief. He was actually denying the existence of gravity!

How dare he?!
