re: #26 calochortus

We are. It explains why we get tired more easily. We’re fighting far more gravity.

Ooh. you bring up an interesting research project. Maybe the weakening of our muscle fibers as we get older diminish their ability to slow our falls. I wonder if anyone has measured whether old people ‘crumble like a wall’ because their muscles cannot slow their falls. Do old people fall from a stumble at 1 g while younger people use thier miscles to slow the apparent acceleration to maybe 0.5 g?
