  Try again, you still don’t understand the concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why The Government Has Infinite Money⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In mathematical terms it’s perfectly acceptable to take about the limit of an expression as some value trends towards infinity. E.g.:

  limit (1/x)
  -----------   = 0
      X → ∞

  It doesn’t take much research to find out she was against wearing masks during COVID, she’s pro-Brexit, and she’s a climate change denialist.

  In short she’s a reactionary fuckwit, who should be ignored.

  I played the original Elite on the BBC, and then Elite 2 & 3 on the Amiga. Elite Dangerous on the PC was just plain dull by comparison.

  I studied Relativity at university as part of combined Physics/Maths degree, but please feel free to continue lecturing us with your popular magazine-based knowledge.

  If the gravity were strong enough and the source close enough then the tidal force would absolutely be strong enough to simultaneously crush you and rip you apart. The same effect gives rise to tides on this planet, hence the name.

  I was thinking of the Equivalence Principle:

  equivalence principle is the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and Albert Einstein’s observation that the gravitational “force” as experienced locally while standing on a massive body (such as the Earth) is the same as the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a non-inertial (accelerated) frame of reference.

  I think General Relativity is based on the idea that a frame of reference that’s in freefall is equivalent to one that in a gravity free region of space (at least that was one of Einstein’s Gedankenexperiments that led him to his theory of GR).

  Having said that, in reality a sufficiently strong gravitational field will cause a tidal effect, which will crush you along one axis and pull you apart along another.

  If the dude had a big nose, then I wouldn’t see the problem, but he didn’t.

  I just remember it being very good. Now I will have to watch it again…

  Midnight Run is a classic late 80s buddy film.

  The Kid Detective is another detective dark comedy.
