Why are astronaut’s movements in space seemingly slow motion when there’s no air/water resistance to slow them down?
In: Physics
Good answers, but one factor hasn’t been mentioned yet that has nothing to do with reality: in movies and TV, it’s really difficult to capture the look of low- or zero-gravity on Earth, So many TV shows and movies will literally film the astronauts in slow motion to make things look a bit more “floaty”. This was especially true for older and cheaper stuff that didn’t have access to good CGI or a “vomit comet” aircraft.
