Nasa simulation of falling into a black hole

noims says...

You might also want a nice reminder of why the black hole looks like that: *related=https://videosift.com/video/Visualisation-of-a-black-hole-accretion-disk

(hint: as with many things Black Hole it looks like that but isn't actually like that)

Joe Biden's lies are legendary.

noims says...

Also, interesting use of the word 'legendary'.

Where Biden's lies might be 'Legendary', Trump's lies must be the opposite: real, actual, proven, true, existent, existing, factual, genuine, known, substantial, ordinary, physical, practical, tangible, material, concrete, legit, palpable, irrefutable, certifiable, dinkum, perceptible, indubitable, corporal, certified, sensible, substantive, evident, unimagined, legitimate

How to make a Paperclip Cube

noims says...

OR...

Given that the verb 'to cube' could mean to make something into a cube, maybe that's actually Clippy and he was was forced to make this video.

My opinion is as valid as yours. At very least we should teach the controversy.

Primer solves this nicely. The problem is, by the time you've watched and understood Primer your brain has been so messed up that you're a different person, thus resolving the paradox of the lack of paradox.

Exactly why, even if you solve the going back in time problem, time travel doesn’t work.
You also need a “going back in space” solution to orient you in 3 dimensions relative to the position of everything else in the universe at the time of your time/space reinsertion, and surely that’s a more difficult problem than just the reversal of time. Without the spatial correction, any time travel would put you in deep space or inside a rock with a probability of survival so near zero as to be zero.

Iirc (and I saw the film enough times) he ended up wearing the skin of the head alien, en route to the alien homeworld with a chainsaw in him lap.

Both the character and the actor went very far indeed.

Derik’s gone ape shit!

Chainsaw guy, Derik, had already fallen hundreds of feet off a cliff onto his head, spilling some brains. He uses his belt to tie his skull closed, replacing his leaking brains with any splattered brains he can find during his murderous alien rampage, making him go “ape shit!”.
I don’t think it ended well for him, but it’s been decades since I saw it. Good times, good times.

This Song Teaches Counting But Is INSANELY Hard To Count

noims says...

I didn't understand a single word he said, but I've loved that song pretty much my whole life, so my confirmation bias tells me to think this guy's spot on in saying the tune's amazing.

Tesla Turbine

noims says...

This is all true and it's a very cool turbine, but it doesn't scale up due to the forces on the disks.

Here's a nice explanation of how it works and why it won't scale: *related=https://videosift.com/video/Tesla-Turbine-The-interesting-physics-behind-it

A 15-second spelling lesson: sneak peek versus sneak peak...

noims says...

Then your sneaky peek leaks, you meekly eek out your weeks with a chiq clique in the clink. Not to be homophobic about it.

What if I sneak a peek at her peaks?
