2 or 4
One
you wont fly about randomly just because gravitys been turned off. at least not instantly. you still have inertia.
I was thinking this, but I am pretty sure the revolution of the earth crust without anything to hold it together, would cause some imediate problems.Quote:

Anyway I am surprised you think 4 is a possible first death, I was about to strike it out when making thiw thread because the eplosion would take a few minutes to get there.
dying from the explosion eight minutes after gravity stops or immediately because of the earth exploding is more likely to happen sooner than the atmosphere drifting into space or colliding into shit.
im no expert on the GEOMETRY OF SPACETIME or anything but if gravity were switched off i think flying off the planet at however fast miles per hour WOULD be the first thing to kill you, since the idea of everything still being held together by inertia is resting on the idea of movement on a relative plane, which would not be the case with no gravity.
inertia. youre also moving at the same velocity as the planet is so you'll stay on it unless the speed of the planet's rotation or revolution radically changes which, since it is a huge object, is not going to happen minutes after gravity is switched off.
what does the 'geometry of spacetime' have to do with this lol
i think 2 is the most likely option
Rayne you've triple posted in every fucking thread the past few days
I think it's because you have ADD
suck
my
dick
:)
the way i understand it gravity actually curves spacetime, shit getting uncurved changes velocities of the things previously on the curvesQuote:

you quoted the wrong post, DUMBASS
or did i
Rayne are you in the 40s? Gravatons are a bunch of bullshit.
But yes, the effects of the loss in the space time curve would go at the speed of light.
