Science Factoid - 1

Did you know that the gravity on Saturn is less than the gravity on Earth? Weird, huh, but it's because gravity is defined as the gravitational force on the surface of the planet. Saturn is ten times more massive than Earth, it is also one-tenth the density while being ten times bigger in diameter.  So the math works out that Saturn's gravity is 9 m/s2 vs Earth's 9.8 m/s2

I always delay that work to the last moment because I find issues in later books that require mods the book being readied for release.  I was dealing with some aliens in book nine and realized that I was having to defy the laws of physics based on something I just guessed at in book seven.  So I had to go back and rework all the timelines to make the physics rational. Then I found this cool macro that lets you pull out all the proper names in the book; it's not perfect but I didn't have to write it.  That lead to the discovery of lots of little mistakes.  Fortunately
