0:00.0	SCP 8654 Acrophobia.
0:06.0	Up is down.
0:09.0	A fear of heights is, relatively speaking, a fairly rational one.
0:15.0	The sudden impact at the bottom of a fall is, if not fatal, pretty darn painful, and we as humans have not evolved too well to fly
0:24.6	so far. Most people are far more comfortable on solid ground, with the ensured safety of gravity
0:32.1	tying us to the planet. What would happen, however, if gravity suddenly turned against us, and rather than tethering
0:39.3	us to the ground, it tethered us off into space? Obviously, that's a pretty sci-fi concept,

1:18.5	continuance of sapient life, and all sapient beings become personnel of the SCP Foundation with
1:26.4	clearance level zero.
1:29.0	SCP 8654 is the inverted relationship between animal life and gravity,
1:36.2	causing organisms belonging to the kingdom and amalia to experience an inverted force upon them,
1:42.9	pushing them upward and away from a gravitational
1:46.0	source. In other words, up is now down. Throughout this article, we're provided a handful of
1:53.8	sections that break away from the clinical tone of the document, instead being bits of prose
1:59.7	relating to various individuals' experiences
2:02.0	after gravity flips.
