thats why the mon calamari are such great tactical strategists. They have the same 360 degree experience underwater as they do in space.

while driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and I instinctively swerved to miss it, thanks a lot Mario Kart.

I can't say I've encountered the opposite of this when playing the handful of space games I've played.

This is something they taught me when I was a kid in school.

That technically you are the center of the universe. In the sense that no part of the universe is actually the center so the point you measure/observe it from becomes the center.

Always wondered how many physics majors would scream internally if I told them that I was taught that as a kid but never bothered asking them

This might be what it is. I know the Nile flows from around two different lakes in Uganda and Ethiopia to the Nile River Delta in the Mediterranean. So upstream is technically in the South
