It is a truth universally acknowledged

That any thread that begins by pointing out why stealth in space is impossible will rapidly turn into a thread focusing on schemes whereby stealth in space might be achieved.

]Is gravity really the weakest force? Someone once made the observation on a listserve physics group that it's impossible to escape the pull of the Earth just by jumping, so gravity can't really be all that weak.

Would it be fair to suggest that the atomic bonds holding the body of the jumping person are stronger than gravity, else jumping would rip the legs apart? And that nuclear bonds must also be stronger than gravity, else jumping would induce fission?

Just wondering over here.
