there’s an Avatar: The Last Airbender joke somewhere here, but i haven’t seen the show in some time and don’t remember what the joke is about
We can't all be astronauts.

That’s rough buddy

An r of 1.3mm or less will make it so you are more attractive than the moon!
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
You are not a point mass. The amount of your and her flesh that’s this close is a miniscule fraction of the total weight, no matter how close you cuddle, and this fraction gets squared because there are 2 bodies. (It’s an integral over two volumes – in layman’s terms, an atom in your hand feels strong (for an atom) attraction to an atom on her hand, but not her head even if your heads also touch.)

I learned three things in physics:
- You can’t push a rope
B) Cows can be assumed to be spherical
III) Everything exists as a point mass. The Earth is a point mass, electrons are point masses, the aforementioned spherical cows are point masses…

In other words, if you’re really deep inside her, her attraction to you will be stronger than to the moon.
Giggity 😏

r=2m, not 1m?
NateNate60@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
r = 50 m by court order, but m~2~ is also now 135 kg.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Try to be between her and the moon. Both your attractions will act in somewhat the same direction. Or at least F^→^~moon~ • F^→^~me~ > 0

How do you get LaTeX in the comment?
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Correct, careful use of Unicode and Markdown. If it were LaTeX, the arrows would have been directly overhead those F’s

Don’t italicize units and constants.
sga@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
they kinda are not. it is most likely typeset in latex, where in equation mode all letters by default get italicised. and it is kinda accpeted as appropriate typesetting.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Well, it’s not appropriate typesseting. Unlike unknowns and constants (𝑥, 𝑐), units need to be manually unitalicized. In DOCX, this also prevents wide kerning (which is OK for several multiplied constants/unknowns but not multi-letter units). I only use serif italics for liter (𝑙), and only outside equations (it’s not SI base anyway), because I think a simple “l” can be confused with “I” or “1” while the alternatives (L, ℓ) look terrible in typesetting.

Is the Sun’s even stronger or did I fuck up something using my phone’s calculator? I got 0.35

That’s Amore!

But if you are holding hands then r² becomes zero and the force of attraction is infinite.
Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Take the center of mass at that point. Can’t be 0 because atoms have widths.

Well we need to dive in quantum physics if we are going that deep, no?
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If clothing can have 00 sizes then so can anything.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Yup. As I said in another comment, you are not a point mass. The amount of your and her flesh that’s atom-width close is an astronomically small fraction of the total weight, no matter how close you cuddle, and this fraction gets squared because there are 2 bodies. (It’s an integral over two volumes – in layman’s terms, an atom in your hand feels strong (for an atom) attraction to an atom on her hand, but not her head even if your heads also touch.)

If you’re holding hands tight enough that you can feel it at all, you’re already exerting more than 2 milliNewtons of force.
