There are experiments you can do to differentiate between the three situations (orbit, free fall, and deep space).

Without gravity, you would expect a pendulum to swing in a full circle since there is no restoring force, and that is exactly what happens when the box is dropped. The video below shows this effect using a pendulum inside a sealed box that drops 22 m. Furthermore, if you were in a freely falling elevator, you would no longer be pulled to the floor and would feel weightless, which is another situation in which you are only subject to gravity. In the second case, the people are only subject to gravity. In the first case, the people are not subject to gravity at all.
You may also know that the same is true for people in the International Space Station, which orbits the earth. We know that people float inside of vessels in the absence of gravity. Let us pay attention to what he said.\): A student floats inside of a vessel.
Lovecraft did imagine all this way early. And then only will you prevent yourself from running into the new dark ages. Once all answers are imagined, all potential decisions and actions need to be documented. Once the question is identified, then all potential answers need to be imagined and thought through before the actual analytics is carried out. In Big Data Analytics, one of the tenets that needs to be followed, is that there has to be a question of interest. And when we individually or as a group are scared, then the only way out is to run away from the facts and to the so called new Dark Ages. More scary then this lack of understanding, is the fact, that if we did understand it, will we be able to deal with the findings as a scientist or more importantly as a society. We all know that we cannot comprehend how all the factors, all the variables, all the measurable attributes, work with each other to create an outcome which could be of interest as a scientific or a sociological phenomenon. When I read this quote recently, it stuck me that the challenges that I have faced with big data analytics in today's business environment is an acknowledgement to what Lovecraft said sometime in the 1920s.
some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.” One of his quotes fitting with this fear of science is the following - “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. He called non-Euclidean geometry in one of his story as the architecture used by aliens. At the time, early 1900s, when everyone was fascinated by the possibilities due to the scientific advancement, Lovecraft imagined alternatives that were horrific and fearsome. He was worried about the gap in human understanding of the universe and the subsequent horror that will arise due to this gap. One of the recurring themes in his writing was associated with "risks of a scientific era". HP Lovecraft was an American author (1890-1937) who achieved fame through his horror fiction writings.
