As he notes, an object's "inertial mass" (the degree to which it resists a change in velocity) and its "gravitational mass" (the degree to which it attracts and is attracted by other objects) are the same. He states that there isn't an obvious reason why they should be related like this, suggesting that a high-inertia, low-gravity (or a low-inertia, high-gravity object) should be possible. |
However, it transpires that this whole speech is just a convoluted build-up to a {{w|"Yo mama" joke}} along the lines of "she's fat and not that attractive." Black Hat then can't be bothered with, or can't figure out, the lengthy route to his punchline, so just goes for a straightforward insult instead. | However, it transpires that this whole speech is just a convoluted build-up to a {{w|"Yo mama" joke}} along the lines of "she's fat and not that attractive."
