  1. It's relative to where your standing. Where ever your facing, looking up is up to you, looking down is down to you.


  2. I don't think so.Not without gravity.

  3. No.

    Billions upon billions of men over the last several millennia got used to the notion of 'up / down' according to their own interpretation. That was so till recently man when reached out into space. Even if an astronaut (cosmonaut) recounts his experiences it would be not within the mental grasp of an average man.

    From their experiences it can be concluded that 'down' is nothing but the direction of accelaration due to gravity. Entrenched belief of an average (unscientific) person in 'Flat Earth' notion implies a universal 'down' in space that is non-existent. Even if one doesn't go into space to test his 'up/down' concept, he can recalbrate his perception like this - 'down' is the direction of gravitational force, irrespective of the body attracting him.

  4.   Up and down is references to the earth's surface and gravity.

      In space it is strictly referenced to what you see.

  5. "Up" and "Down" are traditionally associated as the direction opposite gravity, and the direction of gravity.  

    But, seeing how space does have three physical dimensions, and you can travel along an X, Y, and a Z axis, it is possible that in space, a person coud refer to movement along that Z axis as "up/down" movement.  Assigning a point of refrence would be necessary to do this, and it would only be universal to those who accept the same point of refrence.

  6. There can be an upside down if you have a point of reference to determine upside down to right side up. Without a point of reference upside down is as meaningless as a hand full of sand.

  7. as long as you have a reference point, you will always have a sense of direction

  8. I have no idea what language is below the opening title.  If it was translated into English more people could help you with the problem.

    There is about place. There it is! Over there!

    Their is about belonging. The children keep their books in their desks. (The books and the desks belong to the children.)

    They're is short for they are.


  9. Yes - it is even important for astronauts to have a up and down.

    While there is no gravity to define the down, astronauts are in risk of a so-called space motion sickness, which is similar to become sea sick: You turn sick and dizzy.

    One important way, to prevent astronauts from becoming too space sick (but more than half of all astronauts get space sick anyway), is to give the astronauts a visual orientation of up and down, to orient with their eyes and counter the confusing sensory inputs from the inner ears.




  10. There is always an upside down anywhere. You only need to set your references on what is upwards and what is downwards. As an example, I tell you what Einstein answered to the question: "why did the duck cross the street?", he said: "the fact that the duck crossed the street or the street moved under the duck depends on your reference for it".
