Satan didn't Fall; he was tossed out and down to the bottomless perdition. He is God of Earth, wyoming and nebraska, and al the other states, for he is, as Blake sez,  not a being but "the state of Death."

Yeah, but Nebraska really suck more than Wyoming? Where did Satan land when he fell to Earth? Did he fall to Earth? Or did he fall into some black hole somewhere?

What is gravity? To the best of my knowledge it remains undefined among physicists. If Satan fell by cause of gravity, is gravity, then, whatever is down? That would make for an awful lot of downs, I guess.
