Topic: Is fire drawn by mass?

See, I have this itty bitty teacandle. The flame's leaning to the left, towards my arm. When I put my finger to its right, the flame drifts to the right - not the center, the right.
I don't get it.

thermodynamics and gravity

Yes, gravity pulls on fire. But probably your finger interrupts airflow and causes the flame to move.

I think it has less to do with gravity and more to do with:

go turn on the sink in the kitchen, and then hold a spoon so it dangles from your fingertips by the handle. then place the underside of the spoon in the water flow.
magic.

Humans have their own gravity, but it's far too weak to affect really anything at all.

But then wouldn't it stay center rather than drifting all the way towards my finger? ._.
Fire is kind of cool.

Fire is cool. The sun is made of fire and nuclear explosions. Eventually it will go nova and leave behind a giant compressed diamond the size of earth called a white dwarf. If it had a partner star in the red giant phase it would feed material off of it and nova over, and over and over again.
Is anyone else high as fuck right now?

Look you little shit, you are very close to crossing the line. I want you to know that once I "go nova" on someone, it is over. I have ruined lives, destroyed careers, bankrupted people, even provoked one suicide. You may think I am "bawwing" and "mad in space," but you have no idea, man. I will not hesitate to destroy your fucking life. So back off, and let's keep it at a fun level. Thanks.
