[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] teh Chaz [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A Stolen Fruit What predicament? I'll be enjoying myself while floating around ignoring the fact I'm slowly suffocating.[/quote]You wouldn't float You'd just go really fast at a tangent to where you were on the earth until you hit something[/quote] That spot of the Earth will be going on the same tangent as you were so...except not really because the pressure forces from below that were counter-acted by gravity will now expand the Earth and potentially blast you and everything off (I'm not quite sure of this, you would have to do some calculations to be sure). The Earth would also fly off at a tangent away from the sun as the sun is exploding outwards due to its immense pressure and you'd have to do some calculations to see if the sun's plasma would reach the Earth and kill us as well. This could be an interesting question for xkcd's "What-if?" blog.
