And this is why gravity is considered a weak force.
- javcasas 1y agoSit down. Now stand up. Congratulations, you just beat the gravity force generated by a whole f*cking planet.
- ncruces 1y agoNow try to escape it.
- javcasas 1y agoWhat limits me is the lack of solid matter to push against, not lack of strength in my muscles.
- galangalalgol 1y agoGpt says that would require about 275 million steps on a magic rigid weightless stairway. Roughly 4.1 million calories. So at Phelps level energy expenditures you are still talking over a year of climbing every day.
- LgWoodenBadger 1y agoWell, 100kg raised 10000m is only about 2350 food calories, from a purely physics perspective.
- galangalalgol 1y agoYou'd need to go to about 47km for the end of the stairs to reach escape velocity I think? Past geo. Was using 20% efficiency. Still something off there.
- recursive 1y agoGPT not so good at elementary physics evidently.
- 0x000xca0xfe 1y agoAssuming you don't have to carry your food... 4.1 million calories would be around 0.5 tons of olive oil.
- lawlessone 1y agook, but what do you say?
- teiferer 1y agoYou are not hiking much in the mountains, are you? 1000m of elevation gain per day are no problem for a slightly out of shape sit-all-day programmer. Not sure how high up you want me to go, but given a high enough mountain (and a thick jacket and supplemental oxygen) and most people here can do that in a few weeks or months.

- colechristensen 1y agoAnd the strong force holding two protons together in an atom is on the order of 10 pounds.
- teiferer 1y agoI wondered when anybody would bring nuclear fission into this discussion.
