Man, that would be fun!
@djslack IME, it is great fun for about 15 seconds. Then you vomit.
Where's my Dramamine
Actually, that's not shot in "zero gravity" - it is while the plane is in parabolic flight and the occupants are basically experiencing free-fall (think sky-diving inside a plane). Gravity is actually what makes it at all possible. There are at least six or seven transitions (cuts) in the video - the max "weightless" time you experience in a plane flying these maneuvers is about 30 seconds, give or take, IIRC.
@MrsPavlov Sorry but I'm going with mirrors and green screens. The lunar landings never happened either. ;-}
Actually I went on a test flight with an Isreali pilot once in an H53 helicopter. He did an approach so severe I had to push myself back down into my seat. While technically that was free-fall I think the term "hurtling to my death" was more appropriate.
@MrsPavlov interesting video about it here.

The idea that there is a mysterious invisible force called gravity pulling on things is complete nonsense.
Objects denser than air sink. Objects less dense than air rise. This is why most all blondes weigh less.
It's not rocket science. No need for an imaginary force called "gravity" pulling stuff toward the Earth unless you actually believe the Earth is a spinning ball that has mass. If you believe the Earth is a spinning ball that has mass, then yes, you need an imaginary force to keep stuff stuck to your "spinning ball have mass" proper version of reality.
Oh wait a sec, they actually observed these so-called waves of gravity.
Never-mind.
BTW, I'm with @MrsPavlov, it IRK'S me that people refer to free fall as "no gravity" or "zero G".
MIBMMTIS?
Nah. Feels just about right.
IF IT HAS MASS, IT HAS GRAVITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The world is full of idiots.
Now I'll go back to trolling this motherfucker like a well-stocked lake.
@stardate820926 oh shush, it's not that bad
@stardate820926 welp I think I've just found my new favorite thing
@Lotsofgoats
Wired article about the video...

Shame it's only on facebook, guess I will see it someday.
Back on youtube.
That was great, but who cleaned it up?
OK Go frustrates me. Their videos are amazing, but their actual music is so incredibly unmemorable that I couldn't hum one of their tunes to save my life. And I say that five minutes after watching this video.
@dannybeans not even "this too will pass"? I find it floating around in my mind at random times...
