This is an Euler's Disk

BSR says...

I would be interested to see what would happen just before the disk stopped and suddenly there was no gravity. Even though it sounds like it's spinning faster I'm sure it's just because the edge of the disk is just closer to the mirror.

Suddenly without gravity would the energy cause the disk to rotate making it look like a ball floating in space or would it wobble and take off in one direction?

Could this even be done in space?

Are there any mathematicians in the audience tonight?

Are four questions in a row too much?

The newest “pentagon confirmed” UFO is Bokeh effect

moonsammy says...

I've tried to make the argument that aliens couldn't have possibly crashed on Earth, and that the whole idea is insane. So advanced aliens managed to acquire sufficient expertise at space travel to actually cross the unimaginably vast gulfs between stars, but they haven't figured out how planets and gravity work?

Maybe I should just give UFO believers copies of Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World" and tell them I'm willing to discuss after they read it.

We Still Don’t Know How Bicycles Work

newtboy says...

I must disagree.

First, it's precession, not procession, paired with the "caster effect" and static friction. It's a self correcting system that only works when in forward motion.
This nonsense with counter rotating wheels countering the gyroscopic effect ignores the fact that only the forward rotating wheels are using friction to direct the path of the bicycle based on their angles. It's not JUST the gyroscopic effect, that only determines the resistance to angular change, it's friction directed by gyroscopic precession and the self correcting caster effect. Come on.

Nobody knows how we ride bikes?! (A different claim from we don't know why they can remain upright when ghost ridden) Nonsense, it's balance plain and simple. If you don't keep the center of gravity exactly above the contact points with the ground, you tilt. When the centrifugal force exceeds static friction of the tires you slide out or when gravity exceeds the opposing centrifugal force caused by turning, you fall. Try turning your bike but staying exactly upright, no lean. Now, when you heal, try leaning without turning, lock the wheel straight, you'll fall again. It's multiple forces in concert.

I think a decent physics teacher would wipe the floor with this. It ignores so much to make these "we just don't know" claims.

19-Year-Old TikToker Realizes She Lost Her Sense of Taste

Khufu says...

Oh wow, for her to say she's really starting to feel the gravity of what Covid means because she can't taste her damn chocolate peanut butter cups does not say a lot about kid's awareness at that age.

Gravity is NOT a Force

Fully Unwrapped - Dairy Queen

BSR says...

I hate when you order a Blizzard and before they hand it to you they turn it upside down to show you how amazing it is when gravity doesn't pull it out of the cup.

I should probably go see how my psychiatrist is doing these days. 👨‍⚕️

Squadron of Canadairs is a formidable firefighting force

eric3579 says...

Two water tanks, each holding 3,655 litres (810USgal) of water, are located roughly at the aircraft's centre of gravity. The tanks are located predominately below the floor in the hull, with each side having a header tank that rises into the fuselage compartment. Forward of each water header tank is a 340.5 litre (681 litre total) foam tank, enough foam for 20 drops. Typically, the foam tanks are filled with a short-term retardant that "gels" the water, allowing it to hang up in the forest canopy and delaying run-off when it reaches the ground. https://www.flightglobal.com/flight-test-bombardier-415-the-superscooper/88562.article

I know bigger fire fighting planes do, but even little ones like these?! I had no idea they had miniaturized that equipment small enough.
At least this squadron appeared to be dropping pure water....and maybe a few fish.

The Chaotic Pendulum

BSR says...

The pull from the magnets acts as gravity would. It's hard to tell if all magnets are positive or all are negative or a combination of both. Gravity itself is still at work here too and will eventually win bringing it to a stop. I'm pretty sure it stopped soon after the video ended.

I would love to see for an hour. Could this be true perpetual motion?
