Finally Revealed; Scientists finally reveals why Sha’Carri Richardson Could (Theoretically) Walk On Water….
Sha’Carri Richardson is the fastest woman in the world, and now scientists (sort of) say she’d be able to run on water, at least according to a delightfully nerdy physics thought experiment. In an article published in Physics World on the occasion of the upcoming Paris Olympics, Nicole Sharp, an expert in fluid dynamics, wondered at length about the physical possibility for a human athlete to run on water. The answer is… yes, but not really. According to Physics World, there are a number of animals that can walk on water, perhaps the most notable being the basilisk lizard, also known as the “Jesus Christ lizard,” named after another man who was known for being able to walk on water (probably).
As Sharp explains in his paper, scientists have been studying aquatic creatures like the basilisk lizard and the western grebe for decades. In fact, these scientists have concluded that these animals need to hit their weight and hit the water with their feet in order for them to run in the water (and hitting them on their faces. There is “the word they use). Scientists have found that the greed is up to 20 stages per second, but the average Olympics printer is about 5 stages per second. A study published in the 1990s calculated that, in theory, a person weighing 176 pounds and with “the average foot size and running speed of a world-class sprinter” would need to walk through water at a speed of 30 meters per hour. Second, supporting one’s own weight is physically impossible, at least on Earth. So in 2012, a research team at the University of Milan decided to determine whether a person could run on water under hypothetical conditions of low gravity. The study won the 2013 Ig Nobel, a satiric prize that rewards nerds who are so committed to the bit that they seek to answer questions with next to no practical application. (And the footage of said experiment, as Physics World puts it, is “spectacular.”)
Anyway, all of this is to say that decades of research have culminated in an answer to a question that no one has previously dared to ask: Could Sha’Carri Richardson run on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon? Because of Titan’s lighter gravity and Richardson’s speed, the answer is yes. Sharp theorized that the runner would have to “slap the surface” of Titan’s ethane lakes at 8.7 meters per second, and she’s already far outpaced that with her world-championship time of 9.3 meters per second. And ask, if we have funds to communicate the complex of the military industry to space, someone has money to make Richardson the first woman walking on the liquid surface. You need it. If you have a good version of ELON MUSK mixed Otic, ask our requests.
