Can someone answer a question for me?

The weight of the earth...


Does it gain? Or does it weigh the same its always weighed or what?

Does all the mass or matter or whatever just change form or....

Seems that if it gains weight as more people, animals, etc are born, it will in time be so heavy it falls apart.

And if it doesnt gain weight and is the same weight as it was when created...umm...well, hell I just dont know.

And yes, Im sober.

Depends...are you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Then yes, yes...it gets heavier.

The world barely weighs anything. Weight has to do with the effect of one gravitational body upon another. Earth weighs exactly what it's orbital pull on the sun counters. If you put a stone on the end of a string and whirl it around, the pull on your arm is it's weight. If you let go of the string, the stone becomes weightless with respect to you.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Much obliged, Prof.
