If something is blocking your fall, does that not stop you from falling?

Trying to fall = falling??? Yet more linguistic evolution, perhaps?

Possibly you will argue that the surface of the Earth is falling, and you are falling with it.
Would this mean that the Earth is shrinking?
Could this be another case of something that is moving and stationary at the same time, in the same F of R?


Good reply. I was just about to make a similar reply, but you beat me to it by just a few seconds. As far as I can tell the surface of the Earth is not falling toward the center of the Earth, it is relatively stationary aside from small tidal and geological movements. It certainly doesn't seem to be moving (falling) down.
