"Which Way Is Up?"

"Which Way Is Up?" explores the question of determining direction in a universe without fixed references. It highlights how gravity, orientation, and perspective influence our perception of "up." In physics, "up" is defined relative to a gravitational field, typically away from mass centers like Earth. In space, the concept becomes more complex, as there is no universal "up" or "down." The phrase encourages understanding that "up" is a relative direction, dependent on the observer's position and environment, emphasizing that our sense of orientation is grounded in local gravity rather than an absolute directional standard.
