By weaving popsicle sticks together in a specific pattern, there is a build up potential energy (stored energy) in the bent and twisted sticks. When released from one end, this stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as the sticks rapidly unfurl and fly through the air in a chain reaction.

I love this meme because I think humans 10,000 years ago or 100,000 years ago would also like it

the heat of the fire draws air straight up from the center over the fire. This draws the air in from the sides in a circle around the fire creating an air current, which means air is being blown toward the fire from all sides. When you sit on one side of the fire, it blocks some of the air moving toward the fire from that side. Now there is more air being blown toward the fire from the side opposite you. This pushes the smoke your direction. When you move to the other side, it just makes the same thing happen over there. The smoke actually literally does follow you around no matter where you sit. Because physics.

in other words what you actually need at the fire is other people sitting around the fire with you to balance it out ;~;

Wait, it got better.

He does this a lot, to my deep surprise in undergrad:

For reference, the reason nobody likes this book and you can press tofu with it is that it’s about 1600 pages long.

It’s also, by all accounts, the origin of Cousin Throckmorton

i took 3 years of film classes and i still don't fucking understand how the camera obscura works. thats magic to me idc

this? sorcery. they should arrest this guy

people explaining this to me are missing the point. yes i know its a physics thing. i know our eyes work the same way. however. i simply believe light shouldn't work like that

Don't worry op. I'm a physics major hoping to specialize in optics and spectroscopy and light

And I also don't fucking think light should work like that

In a spaceship, there is usually no gravity, except for the occasions where there is all the gravity (or at least G-force).

In a boat, there is usually gravity in one direction, except for the occasions where gravity changes rapidly.

every time you sneeze you steal it from someone else. theres only ever 1 sneeze in the world

if two people sneeze at the same time they’re borrowing the sneezes from each other very quickly

It’s like that electron thing

Its exactly like that electron thing

Speed (1994) incorrectly credits Jan De Bont as director. Speed did not have any director, because if Speed had any direction, it would’ve been called Velocity

Hello you need to see this drag performer talking about quantum physics, queer existence, and non-binary identities.

Las leyes de la física son inquebrantables.

so my bf's legs are uneven so when he walks he tends to drift left and my hips are twisted I tend to drift right so when we hold hands we cancel out

jk he pulls me closer to him constantly bc I don't pay attention to where I'm going and my body is dead set on making me walk off of the edge of the sidewalk

my left hand/his right hand = cancels out mostly, I still drift a little

my right hand/his left hand = collision course

hang on I gotta google some stuff

yeah this is funny
