This reminds me of why some of us love videogames. We can pretend to do stuff we will never be able to do in real life.

it would be better to build a city floating with a grativy field, although we still don't have the tech for it, but some of the newest train move floating 1mm above the rail so it's doable if fully researched (=

Some good maths and science there, Lucy. I guess the only feasible solution would be the mastery of gravity. Going down an avenue you mentioned, quantum physics still hasn't found the answer to a complete understanding of gravity so if we can solve that 'little' conundrum (sorry!) then floating platforms etc could be a possibility.

Great to have you back producing vids again, keep them coming.
