Abstract

We found that an average human woman of 5ft2, weighing 57kg would need a force of 2.81X1017N which is 2.09X1014N times higher than the average jumping force of a human to have stopped the Chelyabinsk meteor and would have had to be travelling at 767 times the speed of light, hence crushing anyone’s dreams of catching a meteorite- we will have to save that for NASA
