if there was a gigantic fucking meteor with a huge gravitational pull that if it were to pass earth and you were standing outside and was able to see it, could you technically be able to fly through the air

The meteor would need to have a larger gravitational pull that the Earth to drag you toward it, and if that were the case the Earth would be moving toward it at the same rate.

You forgot the part about the massive tidal waves and the sky being on fire.

sky on fire?
How the shit?

Our atmosphere would be ripped away. Friction from the bodies passing that close would cause unimaginable firestorms.

fuck flying, would gravity be as if you were on the moon

Any proof to back up your hypothesis?

>> No.1271826

If the 'meteor' was tiny but more massive than the earth(almost has to be a singularity) and flew past you at less than 50cm distance, then, yes, you would 'fly' through the air right into the 'meteor'.

>more massive than the earth
fuck, I meant if the surface gravity of the object would be higher than earth's

>> No.1271899

blast that fucker in half.
