Gravity causes acceleration.

Usually, the term is used in combination with a device capable of providing thrust. ;lol

Physicists and engineers use it to refer to falling objects gathering speed, honest.

Take it up with Isaac Newton.  I believe he started it.

g=9.8 m/s/s  Just like PI, one you just have to have memorized. 

Now, what g is for Philae, I got no clue.  Shape of that thing could make that a little more interesting to calculate precisely.

By creating a planetary network, mankind on Planet now has the ability to share information at light-speed. But by creating a single such network, each faction has brought themselves closer to discovery as well. At the speed of light, we will catch your information, tag it like an animal in the wild, and release it unharmed-if such should serve our purposes.
