A SMALL EXPERIMENT. A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Same jump.
Another world.

You push off at 3 metres per second. What happens when gravity changes?

An ideal jump with no air resistance and constant surface gravity. Both worlds use the same height scale and clock.

Computer Model Suggests Greater Sea-Level Rise from Thwaites Glacier

A new study using a computer model developed by NASA researchers and university partners indicates that Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier could contribute more to sea-level rise by the end of the century than previously estimated. By accounting for grounding zones where seawater penetrates beneath the ice and lifts it during tidal cycles, the model matched historical satellite data four times more closely than previous models. The simulation suggests that this seawater intrusion accelerates melt and destabilizes the glacier beyond what distinct boundary lines would allow.
