Really? How bizzare...

As someone once said,
"Gravity is far weaker than electromagnetism. To demonstrate this,
consider a person jumping off the top of a tall building. It takes 60
seconds for gravity to accelerate your body as you fall, but only 0.08
seconds for electromagnetism to bring it to a halt at the bottom."
Mmm, messy. :-D
