The World Cup-winning English rugby side supposedly listened to the track on repeat in the dressing room; it was an instant favourite of the England one-day international team — their unofficial anthem for a good few years after its release. Marcus Trescothick has described how he used the spoken word intro as a personal mantra to help him combat the crippling anxiety that curtailed his international career in These are the lines Trescothick used to sing to himself at the crease in his gently lilting West Country burr.
Arresting stuff certainly, whether you hail from Michigan or Middle Chinnock. Trescothick went on to dominate the county game for another decade and more.
When a bowler steps up to grasp the ball, the lyrics to Lose Yourself begin to swirl. As well as questions, many questions: What is their plan here? Their best delivery? What will the batter least like to face? Where are they positioning their gun-fielders? Are they actually enjoying this? Legs heavy? Did they eat too much pasta for dinner last night? Lying down under 1 gee, hydrostatic pressure means the blood vessels at the back of my head will be experiencing But what about at 5 gees?
I suspect I could probably handle that, although perhaps not indefinitely. The difference between the front of my head and the back of my head would be That means a pressure differential of As a matter of fact, the brain is probably going to be one of the first organs to go. Nature is pretty cool: she gave us brains, but brains are heavy. At 5 gees, my brain is going to feel like it weighs grams.
Not a lot , but perhaps enough to notice. But what if I pulled a John Stapp, except without his common sense? That is: What if I exposed myself to Well, I would die. In many very unpleasant ways.
For one thing, my brain would sink to the back of my head with an effective weight of grams. For one thing, the hydrostatic blood pressure at the back of my head would be So all the blood vessels in the back of my brain would pop, while the ones at the front would collapse. Basically, only my brainstem would be getting oxygen, and even it would be feeling the strain from my suddenly-heavy cerebrum.
The average chest wall in a male human is somewhere around 4. The average density of ribs, which make up most of the chest wall, is around 3. I measured my chest at about 38 cm by 38 cm. So, lying down, at rest, my diaphragm and respiratory muscles have to work against a slab of chest with an equivalent mass of Accelerating at That is, at At accelerations that high, pretty much everything around or attached to or touching my body would become deadly.
My back, my thighs, and my buttocks would be a horrible bruise-colored purple from all the blood that rushed to the back of me and burst my blood vessels. My chest and face would be horrible and pale, and stretched almost beyond recognition. My skin might tear. My ribcage might collapse. This is where things get very, very messy and very, very horrible. At 1, gees, my eyeballs would either burst, or pop through their sockets and into my brain cavity.
That cavity would likely be distressingly empty, since the pressure would probably have ruptured my meninges and made all the spinal fluid leak out. The brain itself would be roadkill in the back of my skull. The liver, which is a pretty fatty organ, would likely rise towards the top of my body while heavier stuff like muscle sank to the bottom.
Basically, my guts would be moving around all over the place. And, at 1, gees, my head would feel like it weighed 5, kilograms. My head would squish like a skittle under a boot. At 10, gees, I would flatten. The bones in the front of my ribcage would weigh 50 metric tons.
A nickel would weigh as much as a child or a small adult. My bones would be too heavy for my muscles to support them, and would start…migrating towards the bottom of my body. At this point, my tissues would begin behaving more and more like fluids. This would be more than enough to make my blood cells sink to the bottom and the watery plasma rise to the top.
