> Because of my 40 million Coulombs, the force between myself and my “image self” would be something like 10^{20} tons. To give that some perspective, consider that 10^{20} tons is just a bit smaller than the weight of the entire planet earth. So the force pulling me toward the earth would be something like the force of a collision between the earth and the planet Mars.
Unnecessarily heavy imo.
And I'm just going to say, the person you do this to might not have the scientific experience to realize that the electrons are the reason why they can't move anymore and why they've ripped a hole in the vacuum, but they'll still notice the effect, so it's inaccurate to say that they don't care.
this website goes in a cycle. electrons bad, electrons good. nobody holds a real position. the current "correct" take is a whim based on flavor-of-the-week politics.
and of course nobody here talks about the end user, or the social effects of electrons. please take some responsibility!!
