Distrgard friction and air resistant - my engineering prof

[kirby]

"We're ignoring air resistance." Naturally

Edit: A lot of people clearly don't get the joke.

[eawcuber]

The reason we ignore air resistance is simple: terminal velocity.
You wont reach anywhere near the south pole because you arent going nearly fast enough.

[pickle]

Now don't ignore air resistance and you end floating in the middle for eternity

[TheEnderDrache]

"So you are going up?"
"No.... but yes"

[drvgxn]

I would assume it might be more of like a magnet in a tube where after a certain point it just stops and you're locked in place.

[iSuckAtGamesGG]

with air resistance u'd probably just chill at the center getting crushed by gravity

edit: also ignoring that u'd melt cause of how hot it is

[siultreplaw]

Would make a great amusement park attraction

[JTBettencourt]

That doesn’t take into account lateral motion. You would quickly hit the wall.

WALES MENTIONED WHAT IS A NORMAL SPEED LIMIT🗣🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[blksmagma]

"I like this version of Hell"

God, looking for ideas: "Me too! Lets add the fire and keep Air Resistance off tho"

[ohvns]

Wales mentioned WHAT THE FUCK IS A 30MPH SPEED LIMIT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🔥🗣️🔥🗣️

[mattsaab]

Did anyone else with the duck falling into that drain lmfao 😂

[megarayquaza]

Ah, the classic hell of "Iv'e been falling, for 30 MINUTES!"

[kafkaesk]

Double Portals in portal2 but realistic

[scorched]

If you don’t jump from the rotational poll then wouldn’t you just hit the wall of the tunnel at some point

[mist]

Technically that's how the infinite hole in gravity falls worked

[Noobixm]

Ignore air resistance, he’s a real physicist alright.

[sharkbuck]

The fact I've had this thought and philosophy for years and I finally see someone talk about it genuinely makes me happy

[the_Dark_Knight_]

Poor air resistance has been ignored by everyone since middle school :(
