A How Can Skeletal Models and Physics Help Us Understand Pain Perception?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the use of skeletal models and physics to simulate pain perception, with a focus on understanding the relationship between movement vectors, delta time, mass, and collision impact. The original poster expresses a desire to create a system that can quantify pain without malicious intent. However, the topic raises ethical concerns, drawing parallels to the Milgram experiments, which explored obedience and the infliction of pain. Participants in the discussion find the subject disturbing and suggest closing the thread due to its sensitive nature. The conversation highlights the complexities of studying pain perception through a scientific lens.

TL;DR
Given a movement vector, delta time, mass and size in a collision how much pain would it cause to a person (This is just simulation)?
I am not cooking up a torture device or a weapon. In fact, I have been spending time with skeletal models. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain. Even if I were to try to work this out myself and get some kind of answer that relates to physics, how would I know for sure what it means?

. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain.
What?
 
This is a disturbing topic. Its reminescent of the Milgram experiments in pain perception and people inflicting the pain on others as part of obedience to some authority.

We think its best to close this thread now.

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. I am in no way trolling. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. Yes, I'm questioning the most elementary physics question we're given in this world. The classic elevator in motion question: A person is standing on a scale in an elevator that is in constant motion...
