Did you know that if you took every elephant on earth and stacked them up to the moon, they would all pretty much die?
Not if the chain were pulled taut enough.
In that case people would be dismembered, and then drown.
But if you’re a link in a ring chain, isn’t pulling just tightening it ?
Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the water…?
There is a length at which the weight of the rope itself exceeds the force exerted to tighten the rope and not break it. So basically you can have a tight shirter rope, longer saggy rope, or you have 2 ropes.
True, Captain Obvious
If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.
If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.
