    Saturn’s gravity is only 1.064021315*Earth’s gravity… They wouldn’t have much effect, these boots.

    Also, gravity is proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the square of distance… Density is more appropriate than mass, but neither are particularly grand.

    I have a feeling that biff bought the saturn ones thinking they were like the iron boots from zelda

    I rescind my original statement. Upon reviewing my facts, Density is the main part of gravity. E.g., A black hole? Super dense, super massive, low volume? High density=high gravity.

    I know that would hurt me, ooooooooh….

    Maybe next time, Biff, you should put your saturn boots in the closet.

    Will anyone reply to my old comment as MetMan that states that anti-grav is not reverse-grav necessarily?

    What would happen if he put them on the wrong feet? A tear in the space-time continuum? a paradox of some sort? Hm…

    The gravity relative to the Earth of Saturn is .916, so the saturn-gravity boots would actually make him weigh less, but not as much less as the anti-gravity boots would, but DMC_Run was right, density is relevant to gravity (and it’s low density is only because the atmosphere is 97% Hydrogen and 3% Helium, and so much of Saturn is atmosphere that even the extraordinarily dense core only brings the average density to .678g/cc), Saturn is about 95 earth masses, and with the large radius, the d^2 murders G. The anti-gravity boots wouldn’t be negative gravity (as shown in pic) but would most likely put Biff in a state of micro-gravity, or approximately 0Gs; similar to Joanassie’s point.

    Still a great comic :D

    Und thus, Biff has discovered the dreaded UNIVERSAL SPLIT.
