Quora question: Did Richard Muller ever meet Richard Feynman?

AI Thread Summary
Professor Richard Muller humorously addressed a question about gravity, referencing a unique instance where gravity resulted in a fatality. The discussion expanded to various natural disasters and scenarios where gravity plays a lethal role, including tsunamis, landslides, and falling from heights. Participants noted that the danger often lies not in the fall itself but in the abrupt stop at the end, linking this concept to the Pauli Exclusion principle, which adds a scientific twist to the conversation about gravity's effects.

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.
