    Careful. At best, you’re gonna get some armchair physicist poseurs responding to your question.

    I don’t understand why people are downvoting this, but up, down, left, right all depend on your frame of reference.

    Up in space is nowhere, but at the same time it is everywhere. Those are not physical concepts and they require necessarily a frame of reference to even make sense.

      Ok. Frame of reference is half way between here and Andromeda!

          And I’m facing South.

            Dude, North, South, East and West are not real either. Again, you need a frame of reference. Those are 100% arbitrary.

              I can’t tell if you’re taking me seriously or not. 🤣

                I am. “Halfway” is not a frame of reference. You need to arbitrarily define what up and down is. North and South is.

                  Why would it be arbitrary there? It’s not arbitrary here.

    The up quark or u quark (symbol: u) is the lightest of all quarks, a type of elementary particle, and a significant constituent of matter. It, along with the down quark, forms the neutrons (one up quark, two down quarks) and protons …

      Nice! I didn’t expect an answer I haven’t even come close to pondering yet!

      Ok, but what if I’m between galaxies?

    Up is what you define as up in your coordinates.

      So up is pretend?

        No, up is what you define as up.

          I define up as yo momma.

    Down = where gravity is coming from, the most mass

    Up = the opposite direction

      What if I’m in a Lagrange point?

      But that also has down.
