Ask Chingon Science Qs Until He Has To Come Back And Correct Our Ignorance

[steve dave]

THANKS CHINGON!

what science is more important?

[CHONGS]

what science is more important?

I am biased, but I see physics as the fundamental science.

What if the Earth fell?

[steve dave]

chingon, what is your most likely scenario for the die out of the human population? asteroid? disease? war? feel free to note multiple most likely scenarios.

Whatcha know about the earthquake that the New Yorker said is gonna kill me?  Science people seem to be saying it probably won't.

What if the Earth fell?

Do you mean if the Earth suddenly was not under the gravitational pull of the sun?

Do you mean if the Earth suddenly was not under the gravitational pull of the sun?

Yes. That is exactly what I mean.

Do you mean if the Earth suddenly was not under the gravitational pull of the sun?

Yes. That is exactly what I mean.

but did you instead mean that the earth suddenly was not held up by centrifugal "force" and plummeted into the sun due to its gravitational pull?

Sure. That too. All of that rolled into one giant orb.

If the gravity stopped,  we would be flung off into space.

Well in one scenario we would die of cold; in the other we would die of heat.

No gravitational pull --> Flung into space ---> gets cold because we are away from the sun.
Too much gravity --> hurled into the sun ---> gets really hot when we get close to the sun.

I hope that doesn't happen. Let's just keep the way things are imo.

Is this supported by the Ice family?

What if the Earth fell?

It would be bad, probably super bad.

chingon, what is your most likely scenario for the die out of the human population? asteroid? disease? war? feel free to note multiple most likely scenarios.

In order:
Asteroid/Comet/Meteorite/Gamma Ray Burst
War (biological, I guess could be disease)
War (Nukes)
Massive Climate change (settle down dax I am not talking about the immediate impacts of global warming)
Really advanced AI (long long time away tho)

It probably won't, but boy will there be egg on their face if they are wrong.

Will dinosaurs ever be a thing again?

this was a fantastic exchange

Birds are pretty good.

AJ is an ideal student. I am proud to have him in my class.

whats up with the earth magentic pole flip? why would that cause any kind of cataclyzmzz or whatever?
