    The top three causes of preventable fatal injury in the US are:

    1. poisoning (including drug overdoses)
    2. motor vehicles
    3. falls

    We might generalize these to:

    1. chemistry
    2. engineering
    3. physics

      im pretty sure the engineering is not at fault for most car accidents.

          What about the chemical engineers creating fuels that turn out environments into toxic hellholds? Where does all of the pollution in the world come from?

      The third is more gravity than physics, or perhaps you should consider it the absence of gravity.

      What I’m trying to say is: stop following geodesics.
