So much utility, but at what cost?

Dead Wild Roses: Vortex Ring Collision – Smarter Every Day.
A monument to perseverance.
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The Golden Ratio – Why is it so Irrational?
The math we learn at school needs to be more like this, because it is describing natural phenomena in our world. It, to a certain extent, is familiar and at the same time mysterious enough to provoke one’s curiosity. With curiosity, learning gets darn right magical.

Now is it just me, or did we forget that solar power isn’t available at night? :>
Continue readingThings Are Good: Science by People for People
To the average person it might look like scientists operate in an ivory tower away from reality, which, can make engaging in scientific issues intimidating. To bridge this gap engaged citizens and scientists have launched themselves into the “citizen science” way of doing things. Basically what that means is that

A little macabre hook to get you started in answering the question why life has evolved to be the size that it is and the challenges that life faces from the micro to the macro. 🙂

I like this channel. The videos illustrate grandly the precursor to how we do science and make scientific discoveries. We are curious about something and start asking questions…and eventually *poof* knowledge advances. 🙂

Everyone loves some good science on black holes. 🙂

Can you make sense of those lines in the image to the right? Of course not. They’re deconstructed from the letters of a simple, one-syllable word and randomly re-arranged. It’s just four letters, but their component parts are not arranged in the proper order, so they seem like meaningless lines

Finite area but infinite perimeter? What magic is this?

As of this year the standard example of what a kilogram is will change. No longer will we have a physical representation, but rather a construct based on the harmonization of physics and chemistry. Fascinating stuff. 🙂

Well I knew it was. However, I was also under the mistaken assumption that window pane glass actually ‘flowed’ with gravity under time. I was mistaken, given reasonable scales of time. The more you know and all that… 🙂

Just a note, I do not advocate tossing cats into black holes. I can think of several more worthy human candidates before we even *considered* throwing in the kittehs. Filed under: Science Tagged: Black Holes, Minute Physics, Science
