I love humans.
We're the best damn species on the planet! Go opposing thumbs!!!
Well, rottenseed, it's not really wrong. The force of gravity is constant and when that force influences the anvil more than the force from the explosion ("overcomes" it) it goes in the direction of gravity.
He reminds me of Daniel Dennett.

physics *fail. PM myself or mycroft for further explanation.
Other than that it looks like fun!
I can foresee a problem if they keep using the same anvils metal fatigue will eventually cause one or both of them to explode sideways sending some bits of shrapnel out.

oooooo...that's a good point. Hahaha, hopefully they make a trip out to the ol' anvil depot once in a while.
If you can't quite grasp the idea that gravity doesn't "overcome it", rather, it's a force that's constantly being applied to the object, then maybe you shouldn't be blowing shit up...

1. People been blowing shit up with gunpowder for millenia before the concepts of force and gravity were formalised. Doesn't mean it can't still be safe, and this guy seems to have had a lot of practice.
2. Don't judge his intelligence based on one utterance. Perhaps this dude has a PhD in physics for all you know...
3. Jesus H. Christ go toke a bong already!!
If we have two horses, A and B, in a race, where A is faster but currently behind B, A will eventually pass B and when it does we could say A "overcame" B. Or, if we have two piles of sand, one of a fixed size and the other constantly increasing in size but currently smaller than the first, when it eventually becomes the larger of the two we could say it "overcame" the first pile.
Gravity imparts an acceleration on the anvil. Acceleration summed over time gives a velocity. We could break the anvil's velocity into a pair of components such as initial velocity vs velocity changes during the evolution of the system, or put more simply as gunpowder vs gravity. As time moves forward, the velocity under the gunpowder column is constant, but the velocity under the gravity column is steadily adding up. When the gravity and gunpowder components of the velocity are equal, the anvil has stopped moving. When the gravity component is greater, the anvil has switched directions. To say gravity "overcame" it seems adequately accurate for casual conversation and, in fact, more descriptive than you would expect from most people in casual conversation. My impression when I heard him say that was that he was actually familiar when the relevant equations.

rottenseed is being pedantic

pedantic...meaning by the book. Yea try to pass a physics course with your fuzzy logic bullshit. By the book is how we roll...just pray the person who designed the plane or car you're in did the same

My description of the anvil's behavior is physically and mathematically sound. In fact, using vector math to break velocities and forces into multiple components is exactly what they teach you in any introductory physics course. Which I did pass, with an A, easily, incidentally.
They have absolutely no idea of/ or control over the winds above, and little control over the trajectory of the anvil. Looks like a deathwish to me.
