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

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?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

Actually Youwrong, you’re wrong. His quote when coating the sled is, “it’s a new non-caloric silicone-based kitchen lubricant.” The cereal varnish is something Clark was working on, that his boss asked him for details to include in a speech. Two different items. And your “requires a very easy and quick search...” tone sucks too, especially when (living up to your username) you’re wrong.1 point

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

So cool that you could relate one of your favorite hobbies to physics.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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MEGA ULTRA SUPER DEEP FIELD IMAGE...maybe you could get it in 3D?! Very interesting, nonetheless!1 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

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

Take that sandra bullock! Really though the lack of physics knowledge in a movie called gravity is kind of insulting1 point

I am very impressed by your independent study! You have prepared yourself well for your intended major.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 just went through so many emotions reading this. Extremely bizaar, and scary. And weird. Which is physics in a nut-shell.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

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

Wow, nice job. Don't forget the negative sign for gravitational PE, Ug= -GMm/r1 point
