So are you saying that in one of these dimensions you're actually good at super Mario??. Fascinating stuff Jake, and don't go putting your cats in radioactive boxes, alright big guy?3 points

The reason why you get shocked more in the winter is because everyone has their heaters on which draws the moisture out of the air which causes the charges to build up and cling to us more since there is less moisture in the air.2 points

Jelliott, I can really relate to your analogies. I too wish to become a beautiful butterfly, to grow and grow until I burst with knowledge. although I find some of your post humorous as intended, I think you struck on very important ideas. I think hard problems can be torture but on the other hand, that makes them that much more rewarding when completed.2 points

Sweet blog post. If you wouldn't mind spreading the love and also buying your two student teachers silver Porsches, we wouldn't complain2 points

Close, but as the angle in radians approaches zero, cosine of the angle won't approach zero... it should approach 1.1 point

Whenever I see saw waves I cant help but think of the synth pioneers and how much the synth has affected music since the early 70's. It's a truly unnatural sound. If you ever wish to check out another example of the "futuristic/robotic" sound you were describing in action, check out the original Blade Runner OST.1 point

Thanks etracey99! Yea, that may be a good idea for the future... In the meantime, I will cover some other subjects because the last thing I want to be known on here as is the Pokémon density guy.1 point

As a member of the same volleyball team, I can vouch that you have earned the nickname of "Softest Hands in Section V". Also, if you ever wish to start a band, I could be your upright or electric bassist. We already have these cool usernames for our band member names, and I believe we could create some sick physics parodies. I'm glad to see you came up to this level of physics, and I wish you the best this year. We will definitely be in the same boat. -ThePeculiarParticle1 point

@FizziksGuy I did pretty well on it. I did work up to the end of the test because I missed the beginning to go to the nurse though.1 point

An 80 meter pull? I am quite impressed. And I like this explanation and diagram. As an Ultimate player myself, obviously I was aware of the physics of the game and of the mechanics that the shape of the Frisbee add to the game. However, I did not know the exact purpose of the rim. Thank you for enlightening me!1 point

My dad works with cardiothoracic surgeons! Although he sells the pacemakers and helps with the implants. So it's just my luck that our house is full of boxes of pacemakers... at least we're always prepared.1 point

hahahahahahahahahaha Nate good explanation of physics and awesome video! Perfect way to display your knowledge of physics. I learned a lot from reading this Bow Wow.1 point

I find it cool that you related physics to an instrument. Do you play the ukulele a lot?1 point

I love Disney! that was such a creative idea to pull in something so fun and relate it to physics.1 point

That is so cool that you were able to relate a musical skill to physics. I love your emoji!1 point

nice blog. love your name. I suspose the biologists would argue that life isn't physics but if not physics, it is ruled by physics! jk1 point

I, also, enjoy analyzing movies to see just where they "go off the rails," physics-wise. Pirates of the Caribbean has a great clip that makes it easy to do a similar analysis:1 point

I see that you like to disc golf? that sounds very interesting to Shabba. Shabba would like to hear the physics behind, how you say, disc golf.1 point

Oh Charlie, such a giver. But true, blog posts definitely help us learn better and aren't too bad of a hassle if you actually stay on top of them, which I was very good at failing to do.1 point

Time travel is a very interesting (and highly debated) topic in physics. In the words of the doctor, "brilliant!"1 point

My 3-year-old likes that video too. She loves confusing Grandma by saying she's a vector and "I have magnitude AND direction."1 point

I really liked that you picked a unique topic like this and related it to yourself!1 point

Hmmm... I wonder why I can make my hose spray farther when I put my thumb over part of the end?1 point

Interesting in how it works makes you wonder how far it will go before exploding from all the energy! Boom haha.1 point

Yay coat hanger! I hope you don't mind, I posted on this topic too but cited your blogpost in it. Nice work here1 point

You're right, tons of physics in volleyball. As to the referee question, what happens when teams switch sides of the court?1 point
