I dont think adjusting from 170lbs to 260lbs is something I would want to do

you could always ask joe how he does it...

hahaha oh snap!

185 to 280 or so?
Heck, I'd do that.
It'd be bad for awhile, but just think how much muscle you'd put on, without trying. Earthlings couldn't compete...

The mass of this new planet is about five times that of earth, and its radius is about 1.5 times that of earth. If my math is correct, that results in a little over a factor of two increase in the gravitational pull you'd feel.

I'd hate to go from 160 to 320 pounds.

hooray discoverys in modern astronomy! seriously tho, this is pretty damn kick arse.

/off to go see what Phil Plait(badastronomy.com) has to say about it. Always loved his point of view on anything space related.
//geekwarrior; watch who you bash with the atheist thing, one of us just might show up and ruin your world view with a healthy dose of reality. Got something more to say about it? take it to PM.

The new planet is about five times heavier than Earth, and gravity there would be 1.6 times as strong as Earth's. Its discoverers aren't certain if it is rocky like Earth or if its a frozen ice ball with liquid water on the surface.
