I universum byggde han upp momentum genom att peka sig nedåt och dyk mot Claire. Claire är placerad horisontellt, så hon förmodligen saktar ner sig, liknar hur en fallskärm skulle. Han har mindre "motstånd", så han går snabbare än hon gör.
Utanför universum, det här uppenbarligen inte ger någon mening. Men det är en mycket vanlig händelse i actionfilmer och tv-program, och du ska ange en del av avstängning av misstro . Se sidan TVTropes på Variabel terminalhastighet :
How fast you fall depends on who and what you are.
The wacky world of TV physics seems to postulate, among other factors, that how fast a person or object is pulled towards the ground is a function of how heroic they are, and not the constant acceleration of gravity (9.8 meters/second^2) that the rest of us have to deal with.
For instance, no matter how tall a cliff or building is, should a character or a fragile vase fall off, there will always be enough time for the Hero to leap after them, catch up to them in mid-fall, and rescue them.
This is a gross violation of physics in most cases. One object accelerated by gravity alone cannot pass another such object that was dropped before it. Neither the size of the objects nor the relative virtues of them can change that. Galileo and Newton both famously showed this, and Dave Scott confirmed it much later in a near-perfect vacuum.
Even factoring in wind resistance, you'd need to fall a very long distance (as in thousands of feet while skydiving, not the hundreds of feet out an apartment window) for that effect to be workable in your favor. And you also have to make sure the wind resistance is, in fact, in the rescuer's favor (by, say, falling forward and keeping your arms and legs together as the rescuer while the person in danger is falling flat with their limbs hanging out).
It only gets worse if the falling rescuing hero completes the rescue with help of Building Swing gadgetry like grappling hooks or ropes: in Real Life, a falling person trying that would be more likely to lose the rope than save the person on the other end.
Då tittar du igen på en show om en blind kille som kämpar för brott genom att lyssna på hjärtslag, så du ska inte tänka för hårt om det här.
