Provide me with a credited source about exactly how many neutrinos interact.
Think of it this way, let's say there are N neutrinos headed towards us per square meter. For simplification let's assume that both the wave of neutrinos headed towards us flat, and so are we. (it's so close it won't matter).
Now, let's assume that for every cubic meter, Y% of the neutrinos are absorbed. Let's also say each neutrino gives off a push of X
Let's also say the planet is only 1 meter deep.
You're in a forest, above you there are branches and leaves, making up 1 cubic meter: Push on trees: N*Y*X
Then the neutrinos hit you:
Push on you: N * Y^2 * X
Then the ground:
N * Y^3 * X
The only thing changing in this equation is the exponent on Y. Let's say Y is 50% (a very large amount is absorbed)
The trees get a force of .5NX
You get half that
The ground get's half that
You're being pushed into the ground with a force of nx.5^2-nx.5^3 = .125NX Newtons. And the trees are being pushed into the ground at .375 Newtons (assuming they have massively thin trunks)
That means that trees weigh three times as much as you per kilogram. Oh, and when you walk out from under the trees your weight triples.
Alright so a high number isn't going to work. We need a lower % of absorption, or else things above other things would weigh MUCH more than the things below. Ok, then, let's put Y at 1%
Force on trees: .01nx
Force on you: .0099nx
Force on earth: 0.009801
Alright, now the numbers are a lot more equal! Oh wait, oh no! We're floating! Oh shi-...
It gets worse when then planet is getting 100000 more absorption than us. and if the % absorbed is very low the neutrinos are going to affect people on the other side of the planet...
