Unironically yes. Gravity is the weakest of the 4 main forces.
Until it isn't
And then you start winning nobel prizes!
I mean, yeah
The electrostatic force is why the ocean stays on the outside of the ball instead of the whole thing being consolidated into a black hole
instead of the whole thing being consolidated into a black hole
How does that work?
I think it keeps atoms apart.
Gravity wants to make the atoms touch and the subatomic particles touch too. ESF says nuh uh and pushes them apart, so atoms are >99% empty space. If the forces flipped the Earth would contract into a spheroid much smaller than the moon.
You know, No Game No Life, where the guy deletes Coulomb Force at the end of the word puzzle game?
Sorry this level of brain broken will never not be funny
So, Gravity is so strong it can hold down the ocean, but balloon still go up? Checkmate, Pythagoras. /s
Physics teacher: "The electrical force that repels the bottom of your foot from the surface of the earth is greater than the gravitational attraction between the entire earth and yourself".
Me: 😲
Edit: I guess it's more correct to say "equal to", rather than "greater" since you're static.
How can they be true?
If it weren't true you would be experiencing a net acceleration due to the imbalance in the forces acting on you.
What's really interesting is figuring out WHY mechanistically it's true. I had to rethink the whole thing this morning, because it really is pretty nuts how much weaker gravity is than the electrostatic force.
Gravity strong, but static charge stronger.
gravity is cringe (compared to the electro-weak and strong forces)
*too
- too
I think that I read too as being about 25% longer oo sound than in to. And because of that, it is processed as a completely separate word in my head. I never just read over a misuse of to. And it bugs me just how much I’m seeing it now.
Checkmate liberals
