Gravitational Constant: Questions and Ideas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the implications of an increased gravitational constant (G) on Earth and other celestial bodies. Participants speculate on the potential adaptations of animals, such as stronger leg muscles and larger hearts, in response to higher gravity levels. Additionally, they consider the effects on physical activities, like cricket, and environmental changes, including ocean wave heights. The conversation highlights the profound impact that variations in gravitational force could have on life and physics as we understand it.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of gravitational physics and constants
  • Basic knowledge of evolutionary biology
  • Familiarity with the principles of biomechanics
  • Awareness of environmental science concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of varying gravitational forces on biological adaptation
  • Explore the principles of biomechanics in high-gravity environments
  • Investigate the implications of gravitational changes on oceanography
  • Study the physics of celestial bodies under different gravitational constants
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, biologists, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the theoretical implications of gravitational variations on life and the universe.

Hey, I have got some guestions, when I philosophized with me friends...

We have classic gravitational constant, say G... And now, constant is 2G, 5G or 100G... (increases).
Others constants and physics legislation is normal.

THEREAFTER...

How is live on Earth?
And other planets and universe object?

Have you got any idea?

Thanks and sorry for bad Englist.

If gravity increased I think many animals would slowly adapt by developing stronger leg muscles, and bigger hearts and lungs. Though we'd probably suffer more back problems, and do more damage whenever we tripped in the street.

Ocean waves might not be as high, and it would become rare to hit a 6 in cricket.
 
When G increases there'll be various innumberable changes made to the whole universe.:-p
