usually his videos are a lot better than this stoner word-shuffling whatever this video was

yeah i'm not a fan of that one

they just glossed over the point about the energy - you *do* get "free" energy falling into a potential well, but then if you smack into the earth at the bottom of it you lose it all as heat, so you can't fall back out of the well without getting kinetic energy from somewhere else

i think someone who went into that video confused about orbits and escape velocity is going to end up even more confused

the average american 20-24 yo male has a dominant hand grip strength of about 45kg, those are all baby grippers

also that's down from the previously reported strength of about 54kg in 1985, and grip strength was found in one study to be a predictor of mortality so the weak-handed youth of today are all going to die young, possible losing their grip hanging from a crane where their brawnier forebears would have been saved at the last minute by their feisty costar

Sagebrush posted:

that manhole cover is currently passing the asteroid belt

But the assumption that it might have escaped from Earth is implausible (Dr. Brownlee's discretion in making a priority claim is well advised). Leaving aside whether such an extremely hypersonic unaerodynamic object could even survive passage through the lower atmosphere, it appears impossible for it to retain much of its initial velocity while passing through the atmosphere. A ground launched hypersonic projectile has the same problem with maintaining its velocity that an incoming meteor has. According to the American Meteor Society Fireball and Meteor FAQ meteors weighing less than 8 tonnes retain none of their cosmic velocity when passing through the atmosphere, they simply end up as a falling rock. Only objects weighing many times this mass retain a significant fraction of their velocity.
