You are sandwiched between 2 branes, one stiffer, energy stored.

Imagine two trampolines that are large compared with a human. Let one be twice as stiff as the other in that a force applied to the center of each gives rise to displacements from equilibrium that are proportional to the applied force. Now sandwich a
human between both trampolines with the perimeters of the trampolines identified. Imagine this all done in the weightlessness of a circular Earth orbit. The human now pushes against the two trampolines one hand on each trampoline till the trampolines are
separated as much as a person can spread their hands apart. Call this distance L.
What is the ratio of the energy stored in each trampoline, Energy_stiff/Energy_less stiff? Assume the energy stored in each trampoline is proportional to the displacement squared of each trampoline from equilibrium.
