Gravity is the weakest fundamental force, yes. At least, at relatively close distances. The advantage gravity has is that it never quite goes away, no matter how far you are.
So it’s like humans? 🤔
We aren’t particularly strong or fast, but we became apex predators because we never. Stop. Coming.
Also, we, never, stop, cumming.
So much to cum, so much to cum,
So what’s wrong with cumming the backstreet
You’ll never know if you don’t cum
cum cum, cumcumcum cum, get ur cumcum CUM----CUM
AND ALL THAT’S CUMMING IS CUMMMM
only shooting cummmm breaks the mOwOld
(Smash mouth were so ahead of the curve, they had OwO in their lyrics in 1999)
You’ll never cum if you don’t blow
Can you imagine being those antelope being hunted by early human ancestors -
“Ok, bob, we just bolted at 40mph for a minute or so, they’re not going to find us again.”
“Clarice, you said that the last 8 times and they still showed up! They’re unnatural! They just keep following and following us! Alex smashed his shin that last run, and I don’t know how many more times I can run myself! We’re doomed Clarice! Doomed!”
It’s basically a zombie movie, but the main character is Bambi.
They cannot be bargained with. They cannot be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead.
about to make ourselves go away though.
Whoops
Whoopsee
Exactly. Raise your hand. Great, you overcame gravity for a second. Keep your hand raised for a minute. 10 minutes. An hour. Fuck, gravity doesn’t stop. It’s exactly like us.
I mean yeah but also you reverse that square enough and it’s effectively zero
The advantage gravity has is that it never quite goes away, no matter how far you are.
That’s true of all the fundamental forces, though. They all drop off over distance with inverse square laws. Like if you had two lone electrons in an otherwise empty universe, their electromagnetic repulsion would also persist indefinitely at 1/r^2 strength, just like gravity. The difference is that our universe has near-perfect charge neutrality at large scales.
Electromagnetic doesn’t go away either. It’s that damn negavite charge neutralizing the stuff.
Aren’t all forces subject to the inverse square law?
Dipoles are, effectively, not — so if you have a charged bit and another opposite charged bit, while an inverse relationship might exist between either one, the net effect is that it drops off much faster.
The thing with gravity is it tends to go one way, unlike, say, charge.
Sounds like a stalker.
Gravity’s so powerful, it’s letting you win this round just to remind you who’s really in charge when you drop your phone
Say that to gravity when you start even 5m above the ground.
Gravity ain’t shit. It’s not the falling that kills you, it’s the impact at the bottom. Which are electromagnetic forces.
Are you enjoying your Kep-mok blood ticks, Dr. Lazarus?
Well the electromagnetic forces in your bones are no match for the accumulated energy of a few seconds of gravity.

Yeah, go ahead, how long can you keep it up? The earth can wait longer than you.
Challenge acceptedJust lost faith in my muscles
There goes all our bragging about humanity’s physical superpower being endurance.
Now keep this hand raised for an hour. Who’s the bitch now ?
Weak you say?.. See those merging black holes? Proceeds to casually dissapear 3 solar masses in less than a second… Yeah.

But that will never happen, because electromagnetic forces haven’t learned the power of friendship and co-operation. Gravity always works together, but the other fickle fundamental forces just can’t decide if they are pushing or pulling or whatever.

and whose fault is that? i’m look at you, horses
I just overcame the gravitational pull of the entire planet with my dick.
If your dick overcomes the gravitational pull of the entire planet for more than four hours, seek medical attention
username checks out
Referring to your girlfriend that way is not very nice.
Your dick also overcame the gravitational pull of all other dicks.
You didn’t overcome it, you spend some energy that the earth will eventually get back.
Unless you leave earth, gravity will eventually win.
The house always wins.
They are launching objects to space accidentally, doing it intentionally cant be that hard
Nobody trips, falls, and detonates a nuke.
People try to hide obvious mistakes they make. Nobody is going to go on a stage and scream “I ACCIDENTALLY DETONATED A NUKE”
Clearly the tripwires in your basement aren’t hooked up to traps nearly as fun as they could be.
And you wouldn’t download a nuke.
If you’re hot enough and place a mirror below you blackbody radiation should do a pretty good job at preventing that. If you’re not that hot you might need extra patience and without the mirror it might not be too effective.
Now that I think about it this might be considered as parts of oneself leaving earth though.
This unlocked a song that has been buried in my mind for YEARS:
Now some of you may think that gravity is strong Cuz when you fall Off your bicycle It don’t take long Until you hit the earth And you say, “Dang that hurt!”
But if you think the force Is powerful You’re wrong
You see, gravity It’s weaker than weak!
And the reason why Is something many Scientists seek
They think about dimensions We live in just three But maybe there are others That are too small to see
It’s into these dimensions that gravity extends Which makes it seem weaker here on our end
And these dimensions are rolled up, curled so tight That they don’t affect you in your day-to-day life
But if you were as tiny as a graviton You could enter these dimensions and go wandering on And they’d find you…
LHCb sees where the antimatter’s gone, ALICE looks at collisions of lead ions
Oh, a song from the time superstrings were still cool?
A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions — if only we lived in one.
Yes, it’s the obvious extension from what we have now, and quite coherent for explaining some universe that isn’t the one we live in.
It just shouldn’t have monopolized theoretical physics for a generation. It’s really hard to imagine something different, but this is even more reason to celebrate the people trying that, not to shun then and focus on what you already have.
Wasn’t this in Particle Fever? That doc is incredible.
“Gravity is weaker than weak” is such a strong line.
Did he just tough-talk the curvature of space-time?
thats just because the gravitational pull of your hand is weak shit.
Get more mass, massless nerd.
In a system where gravity is pulling on your hand, which is stronger, the force of the earth pulling in your hand, or the force of your hand pulling on the Earth?
Answer: it’s a trick question. In such a system, both sides feel the force equally
if we’re talking gravity physics, the earth, by basically every possible kilogram of mass imaginable to the human mind. But this goes without saying, because you stick to the earth, the earth doesn’t stick to you, so.
Of course technically, the force is applied to both objects, but considering the scale mismatch, one of these things is not like the other.
No you’re both drawn to the local center of gravity which is on a direct line between both bodies’ centers of mass and is proportionally closer to the object of higher mass.
That’s not really relevant in collided objects per se, but it means you and the earth both pull each other equally to a point that happens to be located ever so slightly away from the center of the earth. Well you would if there weren’t a ton of other gravitational influences including the non uniform shape and density of the earth that make you basically rounding error in terms of gravitational force. But you do impact it
And still it is powerful enough to completely close off parts of the universe from the rest. Truly fascinating.
Yeah but ain’t no motherfucker gonna soon be jumping over onto the moon with pure human leg power. Still gotta detonate a slowly exploding bomb under our asses to leave this rock-covered ball bearing.
True, however… as you press into this planet, this planet presses into you.
Back issues are Gravity’s revenge.
