  So it’s like humans? 🤔

  We aren’t particularly strong, 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

    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.

    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

  source

  • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    But never actually zero, unlike those other quitter “forces”

    • captainjaneway@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Is that actually true? I’m not an expert but I thought all forces extend our into infinity. I thought we just allowed them to go to 0 at a certain radius for the sake of making the math manageable.

        Not the person you replied to, and not really an expert either, but I can tell you that the W and Z bosons (force carriers for the weak force) are very short lived and can only travel so far before they decay. This effectively puts a cap on the distance of the weak force.

        Nah, at some point the simulation we live in is going to round down to save computing power.

  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.

  source
• LovableSidekick@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Aren’t all forces subject to the inverse square law?

  source

  • qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.
