TUTTING. TUTTING .TUTTING.

Finally figured out what to google to find my answer.

So that guy is doing Lyrical Tutting. That would be hard to synchronize with a partner -- and quite beautiful.

Gender Swap - Virtual gender swap with the Oculus Rift

Stormsinger says...

Seems more like an experiment in how do you get people to synchronize their movements in such a way as to never touch anything gender-specific. Pretty useless... It'd be far more interesting to use photorealistic CGI so that the movements didn't have to be synchronized.

Picking up a Hammer on the Moon

MichaelL says...

I have a degree in physics. I'm guessing that English is maybe a 2nd language for you? Your explanation of mass and weight is a little confusing. With regards to our astronaut on the moon, it's the difference in weight that matters. He should be able to (approximately) lift six times the weight he could on earth.
(Sidebar: It's often been said that Olympics on the moon would be fantastic because a man who could high-jump 7 feet high on earth would be able to high-jump 42 feet high (7x6) on the moon. In fact, he would only be able to jump about half that. Do you know why? I'll leave that with you as a challenge.)

Insofar as faked moon landings, I'm 90 % sure we went to the moon. However, bear in mind that Americans didn't know their own government was spying extensively on them til last year. It's the old joke... "Just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't watching you..."

Alternative 3 is an interesting study of conspiracy dynamics. I first heard of it 30 years ago. It started as an April Fools joke in Britain on a science news TV show. It was brilliant in it's conception...

Short version:
1. Global warming will lead to total collapse of earth's eco-systems in two centuries or less.
2. Global governments are co-operating to move the cream of earth's leaders, scientists, etc to bases that have been established for decades on the far side of the moon and on Mars. (Alternative 3. Alternative 1 was huge underground bunkers, Alternative 2 was huge geo-synchronous cities... both were deemed too impractical to carry out.)
3. Mars is actually very liveable. We landed there in the 60s, established bases, using flying saucer technology developed here on earth by scientists.
4. The general population is being kept ignorant of the impending disaster, our advanced technology, the true state of Mars, etc. Governments worldwide are co-operating at the highest levels to perpetuate the myth that our progress in space is a slow, laborious process. (Which explains why the Soviet Union did not expose the Apollo programs as fake...) They don't want to cause a panic while they advance their agenda.
5. They have even developed psychic assassins capable of killing with their minds via spontaneous human combustion.

Due to TV schedule changes it was shown at a later date convincing the general public there that it was the real deal. (You can actually see the original show on YouTube... you'll even recognize some of the 'real scientists' etc as British character actors if you're old enough.)

It's a long convoluted story but thanks to a couple of follow up books and the Internet which gave it new life it has now 'morphed' into this vast conspiracy that involves alien / government co-operation at the highest levels à la X-Files. (The original conspiracy did not involve aliens...)

Adding to the fun and mystery is that some real world events -- too complicated to explain here -- later played right into details of the conspiracy.

I always thought it would make for a brilliant Hollywood movie -- the original version, not the 'updated' version.

Just looked up alternative 3. touche' lol
(assuming that was indeed a joke on your part)

If your original comment was supposed to be sarcastic then it got lost in the emotionless void that is text only communication sorry (there is a sarcasm tick box to avoid exactly this kind of misunderstanding mind you). If you were however seriously suggesting the moon landing was a hoax then see above. (this is the internet after all, people that genuinely believe this stuff are all over the place)

Textbook delivery by drone

Payback says...

First, the robots took our auto manufacturing jobs, and we said nothing.
Then, the robots took our rapid asymmetrical sorting jobs, and we said nothing.
Then, the robot took our next level projection mapping jobs, and we said nothing.
Then, the robots took our high-speed intricate gear meshing jobs, and we said nothing.
Then, the robots took our pizza delivery jobs, and we said nothing.

Where does it end, @Sagemind, where?

How the Moon Rotates Around Earth

Zawash says...

"Synchronous rotation! Will eventually happen to the Earth too! It's rotational rate will slow down to eventually match its revolution rate around the sun."
Not necessarily - there are other stable orbits, like Mercury, that has three rotations per two revolutions - where a single Mercury "day" will take two Mercury years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28planet%29#Spin.E2.80.93orbit_resonance
Although a 1:1 relation is more common, there are others..

Perfectly synchronized gears on high-speed servos

braschlosan says...

Normally you wouldn't use the product in question this way. This is just a demonstration to show that the three "outputs" remain perfectly synchronized to a high level of precision.

ChaosEngine said:

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but generally aren't gears are used to transfer power? Why would you need to connect two powered gears spinning at the exact same speed?

I can raise my voice to that power but the ship won't stay on course (I have no rhythm.) It is nice to be able to be the one with the biggest vocal nuts.

They must have a string of at least a hundred cameras along that trajectory that synchronize their shutters (how they do it in film, too). Must be an expensive setup.

Inglourious Basterds - Quentin Tarantino's Camera Angle

Norsuelefantti says...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapperboard

"A clapperboard is a device used in filmmaking and video production to assist in the synchronizing of picture and sound, and to designate and mark particular scenes and takes recorded during a production. The sharp "clap" noise that the clapperboard makes can be identified easily on the audio track, and the shutting of the clapstick can be identified easily on the separate visual track. The two tracks can then be precisely synchronised by matching the sound and movement."
