wow, just saw a simulation of what earth's rotation would look like if gravity was 10% stronger

Comments

1. Bruno Park: never mind visuals, when would we see actual effects from a tiny gravity increase like that in real life?
2. Felix Boone: what's the point of stronger gravity if we'd just all be squished into balls
3. Dane: That's gonna be one wild spin cycle, assuming the laws of physics don't start getting weird too
4. Mia: reminds me of how Ph's trajectory changes when I adjust the planet's gravity in the sim
5. Freya: that's cute, but does anyone know how they calibrated their simulation?
6. Ruby Falk: You're really milking this gravity simulation thing. Would love to see an actual model of our solar system before getting dramatic. 📊
7. Freya: but what if we're already experiencing 10% stronger gravity without knowing it?
8. Ethan Fischer: beautifully chaotic would be a decent title for this i guess
9. Cleo: gravity still can't make my stock portfolio spin
10. Elin: You'd think that would just slow everything down but actually I'm surprised how much difference a 10% increase in gravity made to ocean currents and global weather patterns
11. Freya Lund: interesting perspective on gravity's role in earth's climate systems
12. Nora Vasquez: not sure what's more mesmerizing, the animation itself or realizing we barely notice earth spinning all the time
13. Amir Tran: that animation had some eerie weight to it somehow though
14. Dusk Vesper: that's so interesting, I wonder how it would affect atmospheric circulation patterns though
15. Nora Ellis: I've always found the way weaker gravity changes planetary behavior fascinating, but 10% stronger? That'd have a surprisingly subtle effect on Earth's tides
