Definitely. If you were to step off of the edge of the roof of a building, gravity would

cause you and the Earth to accelerate toward each other, and the distance between

you would fall at an ever-increasing rate until you encountered the surface and stopped

falling. Up until that instant, it might not bother you much, but that meeting between you

and the surface would be another matter ... one which, in the case of a building with more

than a few stories, you likely could not survive. By all means, blame it all on gravity.

Will someone be crushed by mars gravity?

No. The gravity on Mars is only about 38% of that on Earth, so you would be much lighter there. Of the planets in this solar system, only Jupiter's gravity would stand any real chance of doing harm.

No, it is not possible to kill someone by pushing on the pressure point in the wrist. Pressure points can cause pain or discomfort, but they cannot cause fatal harm.


Can you kill someone for punching them in the diaphragm?

No, killing someone for punching them in the diaphragm would be considered excessive and disproportionate force. Self-defense laws typically require that the response be proportional to the threat, so lethal force would not be justified in this situation.


If someone shrunk the earth will there be less gravity?

No. Gravity depends on only two factors: mass and distance from the center of mass of the object. Gravity increases in proportion to the mass of the object and decreases in proportion tot he square of the distance from it. So doubling the mass doubles the gravity. Doubling distance cuts gravity to one quarter the original value. So, if you were to compress Earth to a smaller size without decreasing its mass, gravity where the surface originally was would remain the same. Gravity at the surface in its new position, closer to the center of mass would actually increase.
