I am dum at science -- Random Science Questions for Shiro and not Elroy

[Day]

it depends if they transfer the mass with or against the direction of rotation

yeah i think shiro forgot the world is spinning

[Blarg]

no, shiro was right. the production uses mass from asia and sends that mass to america so it makes the mass differential even worse

[Blarg]

but if they sent the mass in the same direction as the earth rotates it may offset that mass differential by adding to the rotation momentum

[Shiroikage]

yeah i think shiro forgot the world is spinning

it's spinning, but one side is getting heavier and heavier and heavier

[Shiroikage]

just saying, china better start buying your crap soon

[Day]

it's starting to make sense

[Blarg]

you must be very smart then because this if very complicated science

[Day]

just saying, china better start buying your crap soon

they already own it

[Greatguardian]

maybe if they send the tv into orbit and fly it around the earth fast enough they can make the earth stop and change directions and thus turn back time to save lois lane

[Day]

reversing the earth's rotation is much easier done by getting every human and animal to run opposite the current rotation at the same time

[Shiroikage]

they already own it

end of the world incoming

[Day]

seriously when those chinks call in the debts we are fuckled

[shepardG]

That's when we release the full power of the hulk on Beijing.

also, the earth collides with hundreds of tons of cosmic dust every day

[Conrad]

And I'd also like to point out that Chicxulub (the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs) had negligible impact on Earth's mass, axis, or orbital or rotational period

Not that I think this is any sort of danger, but it doesn't matter of total mass changes so long as position does. Bringing jupiter closer to the Sun won't change the total mass of the solar system, but it would severely impact the gravitational forces in the system because F = M1M2G/R^2. Conservation of mass is irrelevant because total mass isn't the only factor in determining gravitational force. If you brought the entire asteroid belt into Earth orbit, it would change the gravitational landscape of our solar system.

isn't that a monty python song?

We also learned from that song that the universe is a giant vagina.

That was more directed at the "Will people eating more change the earth's mass enough to change its orbit or rotation" thing from last page, which didn't make any sense to me because eating doesn't really provide any net change in mass on the earth. Course I fully admit I might have missed the point of those posts cause I wasn't reading them carefully
