DaimlerChrysler Science Stage

Did you ever wonder how people can walk south of the equator without falling off the Earth?

If the Earth is spinning at thousands of miles an hour, why don’t we feel the breeze?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you need to visit The New Detroit Science Center’s DaimlerChrysler Science Stage to learn the three laws of motion that Sir Isaac Newton figured out over 300 years ago!

The Science Center pushes motion to the limit to make Newtonian Physics not just relevant, but exciting!

How does gravity affect the moon, stars, and comets? The Tilt-O-Rama says it all! By lowering someone’s center of gravity to about 5 feet below their feet, Science Stage presenters become human pendulums.

How do astronauts maneuver in space with the absence of gravity? See it for yourself as Science Stage presenters use the Air Car to drastically reduce the friction between a person and the ground by hovering on a cushion of air.

Coming Soon – The New Detroit Science Center presents the quickest weight loss plan on Earth! The Anti-Gravity Harness will allow you to feel like you’re walking on the moon (where the influence of gravitational forces makes you feel six times lighter than you are here on Earth)!

DaimlerChrysler Science Stage presentations are FREE with general admission.
