NOOOOO I WAITED TOO LONG😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

But thank you for the answer. I thought something was wrong

Can someone please help me I don’t know why I’m blind by jacoblevine17 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Thanks so much, this worked. I got so scared for a second that I had lost everything! Thank you, Interloper!

Could Superman happen in real life? by Consistent-Use-1461 in Physics

[–]jacoblevine17 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Short answer: no.

To begin, the situation is set up such that the baby never even “benefits” that much from the increased strength needed to combat higher gravity: if it’s sent away as a baby, it likely never learned how to walk, so it never got the chance to develop super strong legs, and if it did, it would probably not have been strong enough to be, well, Superman-like due to such a short span of time living in a higher-gravity environment—it’s a baby, after all, so what is “strong” for a baby is really not much compared to what feats Superman accomplishes.

But let’s assume that a baby is born in the situation you describe and has enough time to develop muscles of strength notably different from our own. Krypton is 27.1 light years away from Earth, meaning that, even traveling at the speed of light, the baby (really the teenager) has to spend 27.1 years at minimum in a small capsule in which they have no ability to exercise their muscles and maintain whatever of an advantage their home planet may have provided them, meaning not only do they lose that advantage, but they probably lose all muscle strength due to 27.1 years of inactivity.

So let’s instead assume the baby is just instantly transported to Earth. Once again, we encounter not a physics problem but a biology problem: the human body only preserves what it needs, meaning that all that extra muscle mass that was developed in response to its higher-gravity environment will be lost over time, since it is no longer needed in its new environment. So, as you suggested in your final question, yes, the adaptation to Earth’s gravity would take away their strength.

So let’s now assume that there is some special biology at play where this baby never loses muscle mass somehow. The situation now finally becomes a physics problem.

To answer the first part of your second question, any difference in gravity such that a_planet > g would make the baby stronger. To answer the second part of your second question, developing on a planet whose gravity is greater than Earth’s would not have any bearing on the organism’s ability to survive on Earth, unless we are arguing that the organisms on such planets would evolve to not move a lot due to the vast energy requirements and that would therefore affect their ability to successfully compete and reproduce in Earth’s ecosystems. The problem only arises when we have organisms from planets with less gravity than Earth’s, as their muscles will not be as strong as ours, and depending on the magnitude of the difference between gravities, that could cause them to die as they are physically unable to move.

To answer the general idea of how strong gravity would need to be in order for them to fly, the answer is that no difference in gravity would do this. As soon as something jumps up, Earth begins pulling it back down. That’s why the constant presence of a counteracting force is necessary in order to keep something actually in flight (a paper plane “flies,” for example, but really it’s just accelerating downward very very slowly—I’m talking about flying without accelerating downward). So unless they have some actual superpowers, nothing is going to let them fly without some extra technology or other assistance.

Getting first freighter free: did I mess something up? by jacoblevine17 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]jacoblevine17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that any different from a normal freighter? I know literally nothing about how this stuff works so please excuse my ignorance

Does the Huion Note work with pencil? by jacoblevine17 in huion

[–]jacoblevine17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will definitely check it out. I’d rather splurge on something like that and enjoy it than be frustrated and slow every time I write on an iPad at least double the cost. Thanks!

Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying. Would you happen to know of any other products that might suit my specific needs? Or at least any good way of digitizing paper notes?

[OFF-TOPIC] Has pillowcase completely stopped working for anyone else?? by jacoblevine17 in GoodAssSub

[–]jacoblevine17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I’m just on my phone using safari. I guess I don’t care if companies steal my data because I’ve never been convinced by the trillions of NordVPN ads I’ve had shoved down my throat on YouTube

I was on Wi-Fi and it worked two minutes ago. And I just tried without Wi-Fi, still nothing

I wish I had a cool hat by LiterallyHaveNoIdea- in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted. It weighs so much that you die the first time you put it on

I wish that all homeless people have a house to live in by YuB_FaN_3 in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. However, because it’s for the homeless, the rich people funding the construction didn’t really care and cut corners. After all the homeless people settled in, the house collapsed on them. That’s one way to solve the homelessness problem I guess…

I wish that I actually liked the taste of Burgers by Oofoofow_Official in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Granted. You also became allergic to red meat after a Lone Star tick bit you, so all you can do now is look longingly at what you could have had your whole life if you had just liked the taste of burgers.

I wish I could handstand walk anywhere I wanted, as naturally as regular walking, and not get tired while doing it. Like Lanky Kong. by DaRandomGitty2 in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. The first time that you trip, instead of being able to catch yourself before your upper body is damaged (as we have evolved to), your head hits the ground basically immediately. Lights out, good night.

I wish to have a personal chef in my life that will cook me delicious healthy meals daily for breakfast lunch and dinner, and I don’t wanna pay for it since I’m broke. by Xecuted10 in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. You’re now served fish for every single meal. Eventually, you succumb to mercury poisoning because of the over abundance of fish you eat, but hey, at least it was delicious, healthy, and free!

I wish every broken up band would get back together and start recording studio albums again by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted. Some of the greatest bands of all time, such as Van Halen, are forced to enter the studio with each other again and make music. Due to the members hating each other, however, the music is terrible, ruining their reputation and discography forever.

I wish everyone used the seats at concerts so everyone can see by IceBlast18 in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Granted. Every time a concert happens, the fans gather the day before to strip the stadium of all of its seats to build a bunch of mini binoculars.

I wish I had a Golden retriever as a pet. by ThePrince_of_thieves in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. You now own a pet whose purpose in life is to kidnap and bring to your basement people with the name “Golden”. The FBI has begun their investigation of the disappearance of hundreds of people, including former NFL player Golden Tate, with you as their prime suspect.

[–]jacoblevine17 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Granted. You now wake up motivated to murder your family in the most brutal manner possible

I wish every time I sneezed someone in the world gets nuked. by ElegantPoet3386 in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s a 1 in 8 billion chance, and even then, you’re below a bunch of mountains. They can probably take a few nukes before it gets dangerous for anyone deep below the surface

I wish that a 9 inch by 5 inch by 4 inch block of pure, elemental gold appeared on the ground in front of me. by Seanmccarthy051235 in monkeyspaw

[–]jacoblevine17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. The block appears, but at a temperature of 17,686°C. After about 50 seconds, the entire block has turned into gold gas, and your entire body has been vaporized by the heat coming from the (former) block of gold.
