the forces acting between atoms is far far greater than the force of gravity.

It's as simple as the magnetic field being stronger than gravity on earth isn't it? Obviously on other planets with stronger gravitational fields you'd have to have a stronger magnet.. But the gravitational field of a planet is totally different to a magnetic field and so comparing the size of the eart to the size of the magnet have nothing to do with each other?
Go get ya gun duuuuude.....since when has matter not been made up of atoms ?????danrandon said:the forces acting between atoms is far far greater than the force of gravity.

I mean, isn't gravity just another force that acts between atoms of matter?
First sentence correct !AndyDane said:
The rest of what you say can be answered by following my advice to focus on the forces themselves.
Since gravity is generally considered to be one of the fundamental four forces, it's also quite intriguing to ponder why it is 1 x 10 40th weaker than the strong nucleic force...I mean, it makes me think....what about you?
But the magnetic field is obviously more localised and has no where near the reach of the gravitational force of a planet. So if you look at the strength as a whole the earths gravitational pull will obviously be stronger, but within close proximity to the magnet, it's field has more influence than gravity. Especially if the earths gravitational pull is from the centre of the planet as then the distance between the earth and the paperclip is hugely greater than the distance between the magnet and paperclip... But, I cant remember where to measure the distance from for gravitational fields. I just remember getting a little confused when learning that if a planet was hollow, the net gravitational effect on an item within the planet would be zero (assuming the planet was a lone body and ignoring the fact that there would be other external bodies).Robbo said:First sentence correct !

Since the gravitational effects of our earth can be felt at the outermost regions of our universe, I doubt the distance differential is gonna be that much of a factor when compared to a magnet picking up the paper clip.
In other words, this does not really explain why gravity is so relatively weak when compared to the other 3 forces.
Speaking as a 300lb woman with jugs the size of Labradors, I would just like to say that I hate gravity, and if anyone comes up with a way for my breasts to be 'gravity resistant' I would be happy to hear it. Perhaps some kind of 'breast magnet' needs to be devised?
When I do star jumps, I can see how my breasts would look if gravity was not an issue, and I kinda like it.
Hanging upside down is not an option any more though, as this effectively blinds me completely. Last time I did this (it was while Baca Loco was out here visiting) we did find my TV remote though, so thats a bonus...
Anyway, Robbo is right about the paint. Pharmaceutical Companies used existing encapsulation machines to make paintballs. 0.68 cal is the size of bath-balls that RP scherer manufacture (they also make .62 cal, and there were .62 cal pantballs used in the original Skirmish sites in the UK back in the late 80's/early 90's) and this is why paint is that size.
One thing that always amazes me, why do Americans living in Florida and the Carolina's make their houses out of wood? Every single year there are hurricanes that blow down all their houses. Don't they know the story of the 3 pigs? Also, you always see trailer parks getting trashed. If people think its a good idea to live their trailer-trash lives in the hurricane state, then why don't they drive them away when the hurricane comes. Isn't that the only beauty of having mobile homes - the fact that you can shift them somewhere else? How stupid are these people?
