Thank you. I think I'm going to just use the formula that I had before but substitute where I used my force on Earth (668.6N) for 1/3 of that, to show that I'm still in the gravitational field of the object but experience a greater attraction to the floor of my very large lab.
Ah maybe it'll help to add to the large lab idea that I'm looking for the least distance from the object in which the force of gravity pulling me to the floor of the lab overpowers the force of attraction produced by the massive object.
I chose those numbers simply because, given the equation that I linked into "gravitational force", they made the most sense. I don't mind ranting that offers some actual insight; that's called constructive criticism.
However, in this thought experiment, I'm assuming that Newtonian gravity...
That all is implied. This is simply a trivial thought experiment.

So I had a thought earlier regarding the moment just before the big bang, when the universe was infinitely small and infinitely dense, while still maintaining the estimated mass of 1.6 x 1060. Using the formula for gravitational force, my mass (68.2 kg) and the force holding me on Earth...
I am not currently a physics major, just an enthusiast. Hopefully that will change soon. Regardless: I hear physicists talk about dark energy & dark matter very frequently, but I've never actually had it explained in a sensible way. Can you tell me what dark energy & dark matter are as well as...
Cool, so I crunch the numbers for 140 billion LY & 2010 billion LY to get a of between x% or y% which is the possible range of the percentage of the observable universe that we consume, right?
