But, see, I don't care that they are not on earth. They have mass, they fall *down*, therefore there *is* gravity.
Now, you could totally sell me on the idea of sentient-planet-blood-magical-power-creating, amazingly springy genetically engineered people who not only are damn bouncy but have special sticky shoes so they can stand on the sides of walls, and magic floaty powers so that people don't go *splat* when they fall/jump off insanely high buildings.
The unfortunate thing is - I justify all these magical effects to myself by postulating new sub-atomic particles and trying to integrate quantum mechanical and relativistic effects. Which never ends well.
You know, I used to be a far less geeky person, before I studied physics. Hard to believe, isn't it?
And I don't mind the pretty guys, either (though they do sometimes go too far - I like my guys to look like guys, thanks) :-)
