How to calculate...? How to beat...?, How to…?

While Beating Gravity is not an educational website, a few how-to articles never hurt! Our how-tos may address relevant topics that a lot of people are struggling with. However, just as happily, we may cover questions just because we think they are interesting or funny. Let’s take off!

Current how-to articles

This section is still growing

Please allow us some time while we expand this awesome section. We may address questions such as:

  • How to calculate…? > So yeah, how-tos related to calculating some stuff!
  • How to beat gravity? > Spoiler alert, we haven’t quite figured this out yet.
  • How to…? > That’s a pretty high-level placeholder, we know. But we’ll try not to deviate from the topics mentioned in our about page.

And for now, please enjoy the current articles in this section!

What’s the approach for Beating Gravity’s how-tos?

We’ll try to keep it light and to the point. After all, what good is a how-to bloated with unnecessary stuff or fancy talk?

We may give some brief background info in our how-to steps though. That’s because we believe it’s important to understand something about a topic instead of blindly following a guide. And no, we are not accusing you of doing the latter! Anyway, we’ll try and use references where possible, to avoid cluttering in the main text.

Finally, we may throw in the occasional joke. And in case you don’t like our sense of humor, just ignore those bits please.😉

That’s it, please enjoy Beating Gravity’s how-tos. Let’s take off!
