So I had a thought earlier regarding the moment just before the big bang, when the universe was infinitely small and infinitely dense, while still maintaining the estimated mass of 1.6 x 1060. Using the formula for gravitational force, my mass (68.2 kg) and the force holding me on Earth (668.6N), I calculated the furthest distance from such an object that I could stand and be sucked in - no questions asked. That distance came out to about 348,639,456 light years. My question for you all is simply: What is the most about of force (in Newtons per Kg) that gravity could put on an object without actually attracting it. Earth pulls me in (or I push on Earth) with 668.6N, but how many Newtons could I exert of Earth without actually being held to it?
I hope I'm being clear. I would like to know so that I can calculate the smallest safe distance I would be able to stand from such an object. Obviously, this is all just for mental exercise and completely trivial, so please don't rant about that.
Thanks in advance,
Pete
