I didnt read every single word, but i understand the experiment. Wow its good lol. But i think having a block flow on water and fall, and a narble or something falling too would be better than a dispenser.

I liked that experiment. Could this be the reason that blocks can float in minecraft... :P

Cuboid bodies could reflect on that fact.
Could also be why it is easier to pick up blocks (all 27*64 of them).
This could also be why it is easier to destroy blocks, due to a smaller gravitational force holding them together and in place.
Also, did you look into air resistance? It could well be different.

It could be part of the cause of cuboid bodies, but that will require more research.
I don't think it would explain why the player can carry so many blocks, since smaller gravity plus smaller muscles still means that you could carry about the same amount of mass.
This also could explain why it is easier to destroy blocks, but it would only explain a small part of it because the force is 73% of ours.
Also, atmosphere depends on things other than gravity. Take Venus for example. It has nearly the same mass as Earth, but it has 95 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth. I would need other information to determine atmospheric pressure on the ME.
Thank you for the speculation, I appreciate it.

Haha, I'm not in Pre-Calculus and AP Physics for nothing. Glad you liked it!

Ofc about the more research, I was just throwing guesses about.
It could be that we have the same size muscles as on MC; the two guesses aren't related.
27% is a decent amount though.
I didn't mean pess gravity = less atmosphere , I meant falling speeds could be changed by atmosphere density, right?
