[gfunkdocta]

what are your thoughts on microwaving styrofoam?

my way of thinkin is <1min or so is safe

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Microwaves and polymers do not mix, imo. Lotsa people still do it, doesn't make it right.

"i like to think that whenever i drink water i'm drinking mickey mouse heads"

lol

that page is pretty cool, also mind blown at shortest length

[jhxkcd]

I had never even heard of quantum foam before this, gotta do some reading up now

[bfan]

follow up on the neutrinos going faster than light...the GPS satellites they used to collect data were moving fast enough to be affected by relativistic effects

OH WELL TOO BAD EH *shrugs*

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Physics has got to the point where I can't even really follow the significance of the research that is awarded the Nobel prize each year. #toosmartshit.

[redX]

hmm i have a harder time with methematics. that shit is too abstract for me

[zubin]

if i trade in my 06 g35 for a new '11 prius i will save approximately $400 a month. $4,776 annually.

i don't like the word 'smart'.

to me, it connotes street/casual knowledge, I prefer clever.

[redX]

but clever kinda implies that you're sneaky or something like that

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman

He had previously turned down a prestigious prize from the European Mathematical Society, allegedly saying that he felt the prize committee was unqualified to assess his work, even positively.

On 18 March 2010, Perelman was awarded a Millennium Prize for solving the problem. On June 8, 2010, he did not attend a ceremony in his honor at the Institut Océanographique, Paris to accept his $1 million prize. According to Interfax, Perelman refused to accept the Millennium prize in July 2010. He considered the decision of Clay Institute unfair for not sharing the prize with Richard Hamilton, and stated that "the main reason is my disagreement with the organized mathematical community. I don't like their decisions, I consider them unjust."

Absolutely beautiful. I feel insignificant.

if you like this kinda stuff try and catch some of Godfrey Reggio's work on the big screen. specifically

Koyaanisqatsi (1982)

Powaqqatsi (1988)

Naqoyqatsi (2002)

hahaha had to post this

I have a passing obsession with the polymath Joe Davis at the moment. I find "smart shit" nearly always goes best with "weird shit".

Saw this trailer at a festival when I was too high to comprehend. Want to see this doco so bad.

trying to self learn methaphysics to reach nirvana. i really need another hobby.

any tips?

[wood 666]

explain this someone

[TPR950H]

if you tried to walk around the earth, youd have to walk a lot faster than it would take to stand in the middle of the earth and spin in a circle if you were to try to complete one rotation at the same time.

[wood 666]

draw it better please i dont understand

[TPR950H]

you know how runners start in a staggered formation when they run on a track? if they all started on the same line for the race (unless its the 100m dash or something), the runner on the outside would have to run much farther than the rest.

[wood 666]

aaaaaah, i see

edit:but where is the sense?

[zubin]

audio example?

[Lozinski]

Speed = distance/time

They take the same time to do a full circle but don't travel the same distance, hence the faster speed.

Basic physics brah

Edit: I'm not going to flood this thread with more useless shit by posting again... This is a great thread.. don't post some entry level physics shit that you could easily google the answer to.

[wood 666]

yeah, but... cool story brah??
