520 _a"All That Goes Up" by Kirby Brooks is a science fiction story written during the early 1950s. The book revolves around the unexpected consequences of a young man's experimental invention involving anti-gravity technology, leading to ludicrous yet thought-provoking situations in a family setting. It explores themes of scientific experimentation, the humor in familial dynamics, and the whimsical nature of unforeseen outcomes. The story follows Ralph Wilson, a man in his fifties, who finds himself literally stuck to the ceiling after his son, Jim, develops an anti-gravity device while experimenting with materials at college. When Jim's Great Dane, Duchess, inadvertently floats up and escapes out the window, chaos ensues, leading to a frantic attempt to understand Jim's invention and get Ralph down to safety. As Professor Jordan, a mentor to Jim, arrives to help solve the situation, the family grapples with the absurdity of their predicament while rekindling their bond through humor and teamwork. Ultimately, the narrative combines science fiction with family comedy, showcasing the challenges and absurdities of innovation while highlighting the strength of familial love.
