Matthew Mcconnohey is a renowned 5 times world champion surfer. due to a recent breakup with his girlfriend, he is now homeless. just when things were looking at their worst a black van pulls up and anne hathaway rolls down the window: "hey man, want to save the world?". being such a cool dude he agrees.

a killer asteroid is heading towards earth and nasa has developed a super advanced Gravity Surfboard, but gravity waves are expected to be the gnarliest and all the astronauts failed the simulations. matthew aces the simulator and everybody cheers, but matt damon is in the darkest corner of the room scowling.

sudden twist: mcconnohey has rear end cancer. he cant surf, the gravity waves would case rapid cancer expansion and his rear end would explode after just the first or second wave. he must train the next person who has the highest surf score: anne hathaway. everything is going really well but another wave is going to threaten mankind: the wave of love. will they overcome this??

matt damon is extremely jealous because he wants to bone anne hathaway. he fakes some data that causes anne hathaway to gravity surf directly into his room, where he is naked. anne hathaway texts matthew, and he busts into the room. after an epic fight matt damon manages to use the Gravity Surfboard to guide a gravity wave directly into his rear end. feeling his rear end expanding and sensing his impending doom, he turns to anne hathaway and says "save the world......" and sits on matt damons face. through tears anne hathaway gives matthew a thumbs up, and matthew scowls and says "No, you gotta WAVE!" and she waves and matthews rear end explodes, decapatating matt damon and killing matthew in the process.

anne hathaway somberly takes the gravity board and surfs the waves to the asteroid and blows it up with the thor's hammer (this is a marvel movie). she returns to a cheering world, but a heavy heart. a sage monk comes from China and informs her that matthew is likely surfing the waves in the 5th dimension, and she now has the tool and skills to find him. so in a final goodbye she leaves planet earth and rides the waves to search for him, but dies from lack of oxygen

so if gravity is waves does it have an undertow or a riptide like normal waves? can it rip us apart if we get hit by a gnarly bombara?

gravity is actually very weak compared to the other forces so unless you're right near a black hole nah probably not
