Zero gravity. Once, it was something that you can only experience in space, where gravity generously loosens its grip on you. If you want to experience weightlessness, there are special planes that have been outfitted to prepare space-bound Earthlings on what to expect. These planes will climb to very high altitudes before nose diving back down to earth, which gives its passengers a taste of what it is like to be in zero-g.
I experienced a similar kind of weightlessness as my bottom hovered few inches from my seat. The only thing that was keeping me from migrating out of position is the seatbelt. But I wasn't in a specially-prepared plane that had just dropped from high altitude. I was inside a tiny car; the MINI Cooper S Hatch to be precise that had just launched itself off the sharp drop of a rather tall bridge. And if I didn't allow myself a quick glance at the signboard earlier, I would not have known that I was in Piambang. Where? My thoughts exactly.
