Sample Deep Worlds Board Game Question And Explanation

In an earlier post I described why our questions are so thought-provoking and you saw one of our Alien Adventure game questions. So, here is a Deep Worlds game question…you should find it slightly more difficult than the elephant question.

T or F: Imagine that all gravity in the Universe was magically turned off (except the gravity of Earth), and everything stopped moving. Earths’ gravity will now begin to pull everything in the Universe slowly toward it.

The answer is true. Why is the question true? Check out the explanation in the all-new Book of Y included in the game:

Book of Y explanation: While the force of a planet’s gravity decreases the farther away you go from the planet, in theory it never goes away—no matter how far you go! If there were only one source of gravity in the Universe, and no object was moving compared to the other objects, the source of gravity would draw everything else slowly toward it.

Isn’t that interesting!?
