How far would you have to go to escape gravity? - Rene Laufer

Every star, black hole, human being, smartphone and atom are all constantly pulling on each other due to one force: gravity. So why don’t we feel pulled in billions of different directions? And is there anywhere in the universe where we'd be free of its pull? Rene Laufer details the inescapability of gravity.

Lesson by Rene Laufer, directed by TED-Ed.

"Stop spending so much time on the mobile!"

"I want, but that gravitational pull, I'm telling you."

[Rege]

To your significant other :" I'm attracted to you by Gravity "

3:45 For me the gravitational force of a smartphone is 100%, I can never let go of it...

[efeguleroglu]

The equation between the gravitational forces of Andromeda and a mobile phone really got me! And I sincerely congratulate your work. Your animations are the best!

*Answer:* Just ask Phineas ans Ferb to build an Anti-Gravity Fun Machine.

Cute animations! 😉
I wonder how TED-Ed manages to make the animation of each and every video unique???🤔🤔 It's simply AMAZING!!!
I ❤️ Ted-Ed!

I actually escaped Gravity once! I was 10 minutes in but decided I didn't like it so I left the Cinema, no big deal.

My bed has a strong gravitational pull everytime i wake up

This gets a lot stronger every Mondays

0:36 The party don't start 'til Earth walks in.

[charlenewiafekissi]

Is this just real life or is it just gravity?

[HH]

Finally, all the measurements are presented in metric system making the video understandable to a normal Earth citizen.

[mmokhtabad]

If two objects are far away enough from each other that the expansion rate of the space time between them is more than what the gravitational force between them could, they won't feel each other gravitational force. This is what would happen between two galaxies if they are in adjacent local group.

So many amazing physics things in such a short time!!!

[KHANASF]

Awesome video as always with great animations.

[xiaoshen]

I thought u were gonna proceed with the escape velocity concept

[TheLifeFormulaa]

I am gravitationally attracted to Ted Ed

[abczxy]

Thanks for updating the knowledge.we can learn from ted-ed more and more thing in future.

[cup_check_official]

but the real question is how far do i have to go to escape friend zone?

[zeethanguo]

Ted-Ed, lessons about the universe for all ages. I love it

[shan_singh]

Thanks Ted ed
Now I know why i am always struck with my mobile phone 😋😋
