If the North Pole is the center, then air travel

If the North Pole is the center, then air travel by land is the center of gravity. But Sargent argues that Earth revolves about 3.5 times the distance from the South Pole, and that's a good approximation because that's where the moon lies—about 40 degrees north of the planet.

He thinks this is a reasonable approximation as well.

"To me, the reality is that we're looking for the center of gravity, which we call the center of gravity of Earth," said Sargent. "That's the center of gravity of the earth. Because we're looking at Earth with the center of gravity of the earth, we're looking for a center of gravity in space. We're looking for a center of gravity in space where the entire universe is centered and there's no one out there."

The next scene is almost certainly another, and much more convincing, illustration of the "new earth."

"That's the closest we've ever come to a living center of gravity," said Sargent. "That's where we've been waiting for this whole thing to start."

And that's exactly what it does. It turns out that Sargent does not have to wait long to be in the center of gravity. He can still be in the center of gravity for a long time, even if he only needs to be in the center.

"It turns out that I have to go back and look at the data," he said. "I'm only in the center of gravity when I'm in the center of gravity. So I can take the data. And I can look at the Earth as a whole and see a whole new universe."

This is where the movie begins. "We're about to find the center of gravity of Earth," said Sargent. "And we're going to start a new world. That's the New Earth."

The next shot from this scene is not a good one. It's one where Sargent takes his hand and begins to walk towards the center of gravity. And he's not going to get an absolute answer. The video then cuts back to the space station.

"The whole point of space is for people to come to the center of gravity," said Sargent. "And then the astronaut is going to go towards the center of gravity. And then there is a little space station there."

"In the end, we're going to find the center of gravity," said Sargent
