- smnrchrds 5y agoYou are far away from the masses. We are alive because we only experience 1g on earth. 10g is enough to kill a human. I don't even know what 14,000,000,000,000g would do, but I imagine we would get added to the neutron star.

Combined with the masses of the sun, and the moon, the other planets, and all the other masses of the universe. Fortunately, orbits factor in, too. Everything that orbits is essentially in free fall, wellll…until they get tooo eliptical and the oscillating accelerations get really noticeable. And it all affects time. Time is a bunch of wibbly-wobbly…stuff. (( Ok, ok: Matt Smith might not have been that wordy as The Doctor. ))
