[Theme Music] If I told you that you just won the lottery, what would you do?
2
If you are like me, you jump up and down and scream.
3
And after you're done freaking out and jumping in the air you'd land on your feet, right?
4
But why would you land back on the ground instead of just floating off into space?
5
[Music] It's because of a little something we called gravity.
6
Gravity is what pulls everything toward the ground, including you.
7
Without the force of gravity, there would be no life on Earth.
8
Air, water, animals, everything would fly off into space.
9
There'd be no you, no me, no french fries, nada.
10
Think of gravity like the invisible superglue that holds our massive world together.
11
You can't see it, but it's always there.
12
An English scientist named Isaac Newton was the first person to seriously study gravity over 300 years ago.
13
There's a famous story about him that you might have heard.
14
Supposedly, Sir Isaac was hanging out underneath an apple tree thinking...
15
probably, partly napping...
16
when an apple fell from the tree and conked him on the head.
17
That's when Sir Isaac had an "Aha!" moment.
18
Why did the apple fall down to the ground, and not up, or sideways?
19
He realized that a special kind of force, which we now know as gravity, was acting on all of the objects on Earth, pulling them toward it.
20
Once the apple became too heavy for its stem to hold it anymore, the gravitational pull of Earth brought the apple down into Newton's noggin.
21
Newton also realized it doesn't matter how heavy an object is either.
22
Whether you're holding an apple or a bowling ball or a feather.
23
If you let go of it, that sucker's going down.
24
We're gonna make a whole video about this later.
25
Basically, he determined that what goes up must come down.
26
Sir Isaac was a pretty smart dude.
27
Okay, so you know that if you jump up, you'll eventually land back on the ground.
28
And you know that an apple dropped down will land on the ground, too.
29
But what if you throw something in front of you?
30
Or to the left?
31
Or to the right?
32
[Music] To see how gravity will act, pick up a tennis ball, or any small, round object and hold it in your hand.
33
Let's toss it in the air ...and watch it fall to the ground.
34
No surprise here.
35
Okay, now pick it up and hold it over your head.
36
Let go, and watch it fall once more.
37
Again, not a shocker.
38
Now, throw it to your left.
39
Ball down. Pitch it to the right.
40
And watch it go down again.
41
[Music] No matter where you throw the ball, it's going down.
42
So, we've determined that near the surface of the Earth, where we all are, gravity is the cause that produces the effect of all unsupported objects falling down.
43
The ball will go up or to the left or to the right for a little bit.
44
But eventually, its going to be pulled back down to the ground no matter what.
45
Gravity is gotta hold on, well, everything!
46
[Music]

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
