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

Kind of like a donut -- it's hard to tell the beginning and end. Well, unless you eat it, and the first bite is the beginning, and the crumbs are the sad end.1 point

My goodness, not sure where to begin here HegelBot153... laughing over the blatant shilling for the APC Companion.1 point

Wow, we're in agreement on something!!! I think Dr. Tyson does some wonderful things, but also believe there's further opportunity for respecting and leaving room for the thoughts of others. Which I imagine he does internally, though at times his external image seems to cling more strongly to the black-and-white (which is part of being an entertainer).1 point

The first video sounded so cool, I loved listening to that first sound with c and c#. But RIP headphone users on the second video lol1 point

Absolutely fantastic post, and I love the jumper from Stanley -- that's how you serve aggressive!1 point

It's been a few years since I last did this, but I bet my little girls would love going on a geocaching "treasure hunt." Great reminder!1 point

Quinn - Sorry you experienced the more painful side of physics. Elastic and inelastic collisions are really interesting to think about, especially in terms of the sports that are played. When I go bowling this weekend, I am going to try to put them both to work for me!! Which do you think would be most important?1 point

Hi Isaac - I appreciate the connections between physics and dodgeball that you are making. I know that I have seen some pretty intense slow-motion, time-stop videos that demonstrate the collision impacts you describe. I found one embedded in this prezi - https://prezi.com/nn6xcsmrgdzx/the-physics-of-dodgeball/It is in the "Collision" portion. There are also interesting connections to your concept of absorbed forces to other sports, including baseball and NASCAR. One is in favor of the absorption -one not so much....1 point

That is so unique that you know how to play the ukulele! Did you teach yourself? Nice job connecting music to physics!1 point

I have never been to Disney World before and if I ever go I will now think about all the physics of the rollercoasters! Thanks Lia1 point

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

I never thought I'd have to say this, but I feel really excluded by all of the video gamers.1 point

Great post! And to add some trivia, Zooey Deschanel also sings two songs, including the title track, in the recently released Winnie The Pooh movie!1 point

What an amazing post jelliott -- lots of great insight. Physics C is all about that logical process, and building your "arsenal" of problem-solving tools. And as strange as it may sound, don't let the calculus scare you. You have an amazing calculus teacher, and by the end of the year, you're going to actually prefer the problems that have calculus in them, you'll be so good at it. Calculus is just slopes and areas, things you've been doing for years -- the only real difference is the symbology looks a little different, kind of like reading a different language. Once you learn the language, though, you're golden!1 point

I'm happy to see kphysics commented. looks like the end of course review will not be dreaded! jk1 point
-
you make me smile. So glad it is making sense. I'm sorry it did not in the beginning. physics can get very complicated but the same process that you have developed will help you tackle more. nice video!1 point

You could always go for a bowling ball instead. But maybe that's up too high on the list of "ways to ruin someone's day"1 point

Well that's a shame. I was planning on ruining some tourists' days with my penny dropping skills.1 point

A blog post combining Dr. Who, Modern Physics, and pretty pictures -- what's not to love?1 point

I love how there can be so many perspectives to the same occurrence. For example, in the clip of the computer screen, the binary is the most basic level of code. The desktop is deciding whether or not to light up a pixel. In the middle, the perspective is from the developer of whatever is being shown on the screen. On the right, the end product is shown to the user of the computer, and that perspective is shown, and everything is happening simultaneously.1 point

I love how you look at something you enjoy through the lens of physics. We'll be getting into objects tossed up and down starting early next week!1 point

I always wondered why the beaches here and some other beaches get so hot, while others stay nice and cold. I never realized that it was what makes up the sand that causes it to get so hot.1 point

Im writing in red because I completley agree with this! Physics is everywhere! #BallIsLife1 point

Soo are you saying that if we were to find enough energy we could travel through space?1 point

Even after understanding the physics of it, Im probably still awful at playing it!1 point

i liked that you connected to physics with a sport! Usually people never think sports relate to science!1 point

great physics in showing how everything has to do with the movement of the ball1 point

Oooooh so exciting. Volleyball is a foreign world for me. All I know is that the net can make a pulse when you hit it. However, I've just learned stuff. A lot of kinetic and potential energy in the players, and as for technical stuff with the ball—seems like a bunch of acceleration, momentum and timing. Yaa-hoo for physics and Eike<3 By the way, it seems my picture is a dog... I wonder who did this...1 point

Awesome blog post and exploration into the world of fluids, Thermo, and chem! I love it!!!1 point
