  1. I am right handed, I do everything with my right hand. I write with my right, I eat with my right, I throw with my right, everything with my right. And I kick with my right foot. I jump off of my left foot for height or distance though. (except high jump, I can do either)
  2. This is the article that got me wondering. It mentions that we don't see light by casting our vision at it, we perceive light as it goes into our eyes. This is the same way a camera works. The author is arguing that we wouldn't be able to see the laser beam going through the bottle. However, my mind has come up with a solution, albeit a mind boggling one. So, the laser light enters the bottle. At the speed of the camera, it takes several seconds for the beam to go through the bottle, at the speed of light. Well, the way we can actually see the beam, is that the light bounces out of the bottle towards the camera, giving us a visual of the beam. If this is true, that means that however long it takes the beam to travel the distance of the bottle, it would take the light bouncing out of the bottle that long to travel that far, in any direction. So if the camera is say, 3 bottle lengths away from the bottle, it would take 3 times the amount of time it takes the beam to cross the bottle (in the camera playback) for the camera to actually see the beam. That means that even at that crazy camera speed, light is so fast that the camera can't see the light until it's already through the bottle! Which gives a whole new perception to the video, we aren't witnessing the light go through the bottle, we're witnessing the visual of the light going through the bottle after the light has already passed through the bottle. Light is so fast that we will never be able to actually see the light as it passes through, due to the fact that our vision is limited by that very same speed of light. Is my theory somewhat correct?
  3. Having trouble deciding if this is real actually...someone made a good point about the way an eye (or camera) absorbs light. Hmm. Anyone have input?
  4. Wow. That was...amazing. I never thought I would witness light traveling like that.
  5. I see a title "No Dyson Spheres Found in Local..." And I thought it was gonna say "stores" after it. I was confused on why a thread about vacuums was in the science labs.
  6. How??? Also, your embed is broken, link works though.
  7. We should also be mentioning which level we were attempting. There are three levels of difficulty. Hitting space switches. Easy - ground landing medium - still barge landing, rocket comes from overhead hard- Platform moves to the left, rocket comes from the left moving right. I got the hard one in 23 attempts, didn't even realize there were easier levels.
  8. That's what he meant. I've done that too. Botched a landing and held f9 hoping for the best, and losing 2-3 entire tech nodes worth of progress. It is beyond frustrating.
  9. I've never really listened to that scene for too long. But I'm not sure I know what a Wilhelm scream is.
  10. Stream has ended. But don't worry, soon there will be a highlights edit on youtube!
  11. UHC is postponed to next weekend.
  12. New stream starting really soon! Minecraft bingo with Me, Starwhip, Noname117, and UpsilonAerospace! Watch here! http://www.twitch.tv/noname117spore - - - Updated - - - Live now! Go watch!
  13. That absolutely needs to be dealt with Sampa. Even if it wasn't on the forums, your friend needs to block this user wherever there is contact between them, and your friend must make sure this user cannot receive any more contact info of your friend's. This is a serious issue, not to be taken lightly. From personal experience, trust me, there is no other way to deal with it other than closing all contact with this user.
  14. I actually usually end up doing math on my own when done in physics class. Like for instance, recently I've been trying to figure out what gravity would be on Earth if there was no planetary rotation.
  15. It started as a joke, and then people decided they wanted to hide their rep as to not seem self centered, or rep centered. (i think)
  16. It's not as handy as Twitter. Nobody really reads them, and you don't get notifications (if you set that up in Twitter) Although I am having fun shortening all my messages to fit in the 140.
  17. Thank you for trying, and do please keep trying. If the problem persists, PM me with what's going wrong and I'll see if I can get it sorted out.
  18. And here I read the title and thought of Starwhip... Cool idea though!
  19. Sorry for the inactivity, we started a big project and she put a hold on our writing, but I will get back on this soonâ„¢.
  20. Zero tolerance policies suck.
  21. That first one though - - - Updated - - - I like this one. And also this one. And this one brought a whole new thinking. - - - Updated - - - They keep getting better.
