Say we had a six foot wall, I jumped off and measured the pain/damage received because of the fall, how would that differ to an ant if it was dropped from the same height? Because of it's size/weight difference...
Take it easy with the personal attacks. How am I to know that you didn't have some non-obvious reason for posting this under Relativity? Which is why I asked you.MajorComplex said:I didn't ask for his ignorance
Critter Height (1D) leg diam. X-sectional area of leg (2D) weight (3D)
Human 6' 5" 5^2 = 25" 200 lbs.

The impact of the drop can vary depending on the height and surface the ant is dropped on. In most cases, the ant will survive the fall and continue on with its daily activities. However, if the drop is from a significant height or onto a hard surface, the ant may experience injuries or even death.
Ants have a complex nervous system and are capable of experiencing pain. However, their threshold for pain is much lower than larger animals. The impact of the drop may cause discomfort or injury to the ant, but it is unlikely to cause intense pain.
The smaller the ant, the less force it can withstand from a drop. This is due to their smaller body mass and less sturdy exoskeleton. Smaller ants are more likely to be injured or killed from a drop compared to larger ants.
The height and surface of the drop are major factors in an ant's survival. Additionally, the ant's size, age, and health can also play a role. Ants that are already injured or sick may have a lower chance of surviving a drop compared to healthy ants.
Ants have a strong exoskeleton that protects their internal organs from impact. They also have the ability to spread their legs and increase their surface area, which helps to slow down their fall and lessen the impact. Additionally, ants have a low center of gravity, making them more stable and less likely to flip or tumble during a drop.
