Reversal!

[Kasawd]

I'd be writhing on the ceiling in confusion with a chair on me and a broken computer.

 

[ultimateownage]

All my shit would crash into the ceiling and mess my stuff up. Granted it didn't break though, all I'd have is upside down cupboards, I could flip the rest over and continue. Would eventually starve to death due to my inability to go outside, though.

 

[LogicNProportion]

I'd...be fine. <.<

 

[technoted]

Then everyone would be dead.

So, since I don't think we've had enough completely random threads around here recently, I'm going to give you one.

If gravity reversed right now (i.e. the Earth started to force everything away from it), how would you fare? Also, can you imagine the worst possible situation to be in when it happened?

So... is anyone sitting on a box of heavy weights? Anyone outside? Or are you already sitting upside down on the ceiling? Tell me!

Gravity is a very very weak force, the weakest of all the forces, after all, we can overcome it with very little effort from pretty much any of our muscles. I imagine we could overcome it with relative ease after an initial teething period.

Also, there is such a thing as anti gravity, everything we know about physics and the universe says it MUST exist. We just cant find it.

Push my chair away from me, see if I could still reach my computer and dance on this:

[T-Bone24]

I'd land on the ceiling and be great, only to then be scalded horribly by burning hot tea and crushed by a desk and expensive computer equipment.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

This already happened to Calvin, my next fear would be that I would start to turn into a giant.

 

[redboyjazz]

I would rise to the celling, and so would my matress and laptop, i would just try to get out from between my celling and matress, and go back to reading the escapist lol

 

[Vilcus]

Working in a water treatment facility... yea, that would be a fucking horrible way to die.

If it happened to me right now, then I'd probably be alright, although all of my stuff would likely break.

 

[Darth IB]

The Earth would probably shatter into a gazillion pieces. As would all humans, and everything else for that matter (I think).

 

[C95J]

I would definitely die, death by bed...

 

[Adventurer2626]

Um. Initially I and the furniture would make massive dents in the ceiling (and find out if there's still asbestos or not up there) then I'd probably fall back to the floor as inertia from the spin of the Earth and likely be crushed by my loft or desk. If that didn't kill me I'd squished against the floor itself, incinerated or at the least die of decompression/lack of O2 in space. So...I'd just like to say thank you to gravity for keeping me and my surroundings rooted to the ground. Don't change a thing about yourself. Please?

 

[Dr.Susse]

If through a weird chance of physics the cd playing due to the reversal of gravity would then play backwards and also sound jumbled devil music. That might happen.

Also I'd get a sore head

 

[Protocol95]

I've got a chair, a large desk, a comuter monitor, a television and even more large objects in here so i'd probably be saying a lot of profanities.

All things with mass are affected by gravity. The only reason for the buoyancy of helium and whatnot is because it's lighter than the stuff around it. It's like when you mix two liquids together and the lighter one rises to the top while the heavier one forms the bottom.

So... would the reversal make it where the heavier goes to the top and the lighter goes to the bottom?

Top and bottom are relative concepts. And if everything is pushed away based on everything's mass instead, I don't think organized layers would form as easily. In fact we might explode or something. Everything has gravity, it's just not enough to matter unless it gets planet sized. There's lots of stuff going on on the atomic scale and whatnot that probably plays into it.
Besides, if gravity were reversed we'd be launched out of the suns orbit, the sun would be launched out of the orbit of that black hole at the center of the milky way, that would be launched even more, and so on.
If gravity were reversed everything would die violently.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

I'd hit my ceiling repeatedly. It'd get old pretty fast. If there's a way I could swim over to grab my DS so I could at least keep hitting my ceiling while entertained, I wouldn't mind so much.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

I'm over six foot and 300 pounds, I'm completely fucked.

 

[Dango]

I'm on the bottom bed of a bunk bed, so I think I'm fine. My laptop would break, though, and then I'd be sad.

Bad time to take up skydiving
