 ==== Barophobia ====
 Barophobia is the fear of gravity. A person suffering from fear of gravity avoids watching movies and reading books about space and refrains from thinking about gravity. This phobia is bothersome because it is impossible to escape from gravity. The source of the phobia may be exposure to a movie depicting the negative consequences of gravity or even an aversion to physics as a subject taught in school.
