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

I really think you need a bowl of ice cream. With rainbow sprinkles. Perspective, HegelBot, perspective...1 point

Starting to go off the rails a bit again... if you haven't been giving best effort, do so. Kick yourself in the fanny and get on with it. And if you have, be proud of what you've done and continue on. Regrets disappear when you give it your all. So get to it!1 point

Nice post HegelBot153. If you wear flannel pajamas and have flannel sheets, rolling over under the covers can be an 'enlightening' experience as well!1 point

Thrilled to have you aboard BrandyBoy... I think we'll be able to challenge you a bit this year, maybe the first serious academic challenge you'll face. When you hit that point (and most students do at some point in this class) -- keep in mind you have tons of fans rooting for you, and it's OK to struggle and fail. Failing is the first step to success, and learning how to fail productively is a terribly underestimated skill. Am I hearing the beginnings of some blog posts on how physics relates to boy scouts?1 point

Back squats are my fave as well... but 405. Still amazed, though, even for a movement that looks so simple and like it just requires raw power -- just how much technique plays a role in hitting that personal high lift. I was capped in the 360 range until I adjusted my foot position and hand position just a tiny bit, then all of a sudden 400 was in reach. Applying the force at just the right spot to maximize your efforts is SOOOO important!1 point

Love the incorporation of sports and video games with physics. Just out of curiosity, is SWEAT an acronym for something?1 point

This is a long post, I suggest you shorten it up and spend more time playing with hamsters.1 point

This was a very Madge post and I loved every second of it... Bravo.1 point

Skydiving pretty interesting, but if my parachute didn't open, I would hope that I would have enough air resistance to slow me down enough to stay alive. I wonder how fast someone is actually falling before they pull the parachute.1 point

I find Black Holes and all theories about the universe and its possible demise absolutely riveting. Thank you!1 point

I absolutely loved reading this -- not only for the awesomeness that is our universe, but that awesomeness that is your enthusiasm. Great post!1 point

I did not know you played frisbee. Do you play ultamite? because I have an ultamite frisbee team that also practices over the summer.1 point

Wow Alex! I wouldn't want to get that hard! It most be very painful, almost as bad as a hidden blade to the rib cage! I wouldn't want to be pancaked either! That most hurt but good way to explain!1 point

And now we're starting to make electronics small enough that the wave nature of particles is coming into play. Quantum electronic devices are becoming reality, and gate thickness of transistors are becoming so thin that electrons tunneling through dielectrics becomes a problem (or a feature).1 point

It is so cute that you were able make a bunny be a story and example to physics. What was your inspiration for writing on this topic?1 point

The first time I drove on the highway i was kind of scared too Hannah but yah driving has a lot of physics.1 point

I'm jealous. I remember when i had time to play some of these. Instead, last night's excitement include an episode of Sofia the First "The Emerald Key" -- some great dramatic tension at the end -- coupled with a trio of Elmo songs and reading two chapters of the third installment of the "Princess Tiara" book series.1 point

Truly interesting. Sadly, the video is blocked by the internet filter. Where is society going....1 point

My favorite part of the year -- watching how much this class grew, from the struggles with the book and our first independent unit in late October, then comparing that to April when I kept receiving requests to finish out the year with independent work and study. I just love when students outgrow the need for formal instruction -- once you learn how to teach yourself, and have the confidence to do so, there's nothing that can stop you!!!1 point

I just went through so many emotions reading this. Extremely bizaar, and scary. And weird. Which is physics in a nut-shell.1 point

If space travel was possible, could their be other planets that could sustain human life?1 point

Very well done! Physics everywhere in volleyball. The video looks like a lot of fun -- we should make our own.1 point

Great idea, and very well executed. Goes right along with what we're learning about the electromagnetic spectrum.1 point

Great blog post, and I learned something new about nordic skiing. Always take good care of your skis, and hopefully they'll take care of you!1 point

Glad to hear you were able to get that coathanger bent and see the continuous shape that the solenoid makes with the soap bubbles!1 point
