Tonight, I began to ponder a strange thought... what if the strength of the gravitational field was as strong as the electrical field, and vice versa? I mean, the difference is quite drastic. The Earth's acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 ms^-2, while Coloumb's Constant is 8.99e9 Nm^2C^-2... which, as you can imagine, leads to quite the drastic change in strength.

A person of 60kg experiences a gravitational force of 588.6 N... around 132lbs. But what if we were to replace g (the acceleration due to gravity) with k (coloumb's constant)? This person would instead experience a force of 5.394e11N!! This is such an INSANE amount of force that would completely obliterate a human being.

To put things into perspective, a typical person can experience about 5 g's of force before passing out; this means that said person could experience about 2943 N of force. An experienced pilot wears a G-suit when flying and is trained to strain their muscles to avoid the passing-out response to high amounts of g-force, since they nose dive frequently. Experienced pilots can typically take up to 9 g's of force, meaning this person could take about 5297 N of force... still well off of gravitational force with coloumb's constant. Soon after these thresholds are reached, symptoms including grey outs (loss of hue in vision), blackouts, red outs ( red vision due to bursting blood vessels in the eyes), loss of consciousness, and death occur if the body is not leveled out quickly. Replacing the constant g with k would be detrimental to mankind... no human could survive that kind of force and would be completely crushed, if not nearly vaporized.

Be thankful that gravity exists at the strength it does... I'm pretty sure that no one wants to be crushed by a force of 5.394e11N! If the roles of the gravitational field and electrical field were switched, and I am quite sure the outcome of life would be much different than it is today. Until next time, Fizzix community, until next time.
