Runners Sigh


There is a well known phenomena that occurs in the Northern Hemisphere as the Summer Solstice approaches.  Since the magnitude of electrostatic force of attraction between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, this can cause a very brief, relatively harmless vortex of force affecting bodies of low mass.  One can demonstrate it:
1.  Cover half-a-million centimeters on foot rapidly.
2.  This builds a sufficient inverse electrostatic force; be careful not to discharge too soon.
3.  Pass beneath a perfectly formed multi-colored arch in an equidistant pattern between rubber cones.
4.  Then watch and feel how the universal law of gravitation coupled with the magnitude of the force, since it is proportional to the product of the gravitational mass, causes an extreme attraction toward earth's center -- the larger of the two masses.

In other words, sometimes the earth acts like a magnet and pins a human body to its surface.
