As javelins get heavier, there's only so far you can throw them, right? So as far as humans are concerned, I feel like weightlifting is one of the most important ways that we can measure the limits of humanity. It really depends on how much and what you're allowed to do that will determine the limits. But I'm pretty sure that at some point, weightlifting is going to be limited.
Could you play Quidditch on Jupiter? Javelin on Mars? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly answer fan questions about low-gravity physics, the weight of Thor’s hammer, aerodynamics and more with astrophysicist Charles Liu.
