Quora question: Did Richard Muller ever meet Richard Feynman?

In summary, Professor Richard Muller answered a question about whether he had ever met Professor Richard Feynman by joking about the one time gravity killed a man. He also mentioned other ways gravity can be lethal, such as tsunamis, landslides, and meteors. He then added that it is not the fall that kills, but the non-uniform deceleration at the end, which could be attributed to the Pauli Exclusion Principle.

I can think of other ways gravity has killed people, but that one is surely creative.

Yeah, that was my thought too like tsunamis, landslides, avalanches, earthquakes, lquifaction, meteors ...

As we all know, it is not the fall that kills you. It is the non-uniform deceleration at the end.

one could say its due to the Pauli Exclusion principle.
