Now keep this hand raised for an hour. Who's the bitch now ?
If it takes your an hour to wear me down, you're weak. No matter how inexhaustible your power is.
Oh don't worry, it will be way less than an hour :P
Lower strength, but far more endurance.
How about 10 minutes ? World record is 9.

Overcome? The hand is clearly still under the effect of gravity as it is not flowing into the space. It just decelerates a tiny bit.
The face of the earth when I lift a finger: :o
Weak you say?... See those merging black holes? Proceeds to casually dissapear 3 solar masses in less than a second... Yeah.
Which is still just a small fraction of the total mass of the black holes
If it were the electromagnetic force that pulled them together it would be so much more violent and send out deadly gamma rays
But that will never happen, because electromagnetic forces haven't learned the power of friendship and co-operation. Gravity always works together, but the other fickle fundamental forces just can't decide if they are pushing or pulling or whatever.
yeah you'd need a black hole where every atom is positively charged and one where every atom is negatively charged
and whose fault is that? i'm look at you, horses
True, however… as you press into this planet, this planet presses into you.
Yeah, go ahead, how long can you keep it up? The earth can wait longer than you.
