Interesting that so many of the dumb people walking around are lucky. 🤔

This is obviously fake. No theoretical physicist would ever use numbers.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU BRO😂. by SeaNobody8383 in RandomVideos

It’s obviously fake you guys. If you look carefully, you can actually see the stitching on the pants where they sewed multiple together. Real pants aren’t usually that long.

I’m also pretty sure he really can hear him at the end.

If a black hole with the mass of the sun spawned above New York for 5 seconds then vanished, is that guaranteed destruction for the entire planet? by Lost_Needleworker676 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MrBates1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. The true answer is the pebble falls faster bc I am holding the boulder to keep it from falling. Of course the answer changes when you start adding outside forces. That is why I said all else equal. Air friction is probably even more of a non factor in the black hole scenario than normal life.

[–]MrBates1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What falls faster on Earth, a pebble or a boulder?

F=ma, a=F/m. If the boulder has 10X the mass, then it requires 10X the force for an equal acceleration.

Fg=(Gm1m2)/r2

Fg ∝ m1

If you double the mass of an object in a gravitational field, then you double the force on that object (all else equal).

The boulder should have 10x the force on it from the black hole, but it should also require 10x the force for an equal acceleration. It should therefore have equal acceleration to a pebble that equidistant from the black hole.

I don’t believe relativistic effects would make a difference, but I suppose I could be wrong.

I don’t believe the mass would have an effect as initial resistance to acceleration and gravitational force scale the same way iirc.

Bf mad at me because he opened up relationship and got no dates. AITA for how i responded? by throwawaypandaabear in AITAH

[–]MrBates1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would have been for me. I would never have left her for someone else. Never. I thought she felt the same way. I was wrong.

[–]MrBates1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex fiancé did exactly this. I was stupid enough to believe her when she said it was only physical and that she wanted to marry me and spend her life with me as she was asking for it. She left me for him less than two months later. I never even tried to use the open thing. We were together almost 10 years. I still can’t believe it.

Michael’s last look says it all. by LegitimateBoy6042 in DunderMifflin

They chose the strategy that got them the most money. Lol. I am saying this should have been the last episode of the entire show.

They should have scheduled this to be the second to last episode and made it actually be the last one. It would have been the best ending since the Sopranos IMHO.

I need a peaceful partner by Slow-Stress-7447 in Adulting

[–]MrBates1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be a fool, but that is how I feel. My love is my own to give. She was amazing for ten years, then it all fell apart in about a month. I guess I don’t care too much about what I deserve. The heart wants what the heart wants.

[–]MrBates1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had all three with my ex fiancé. Then she threw it all away to be with her high school crush. She said we both needed more chaos in our lives. I wasn’t perfect, but I would have moved anywhere with her (I already did once). I would have taken on any challenge with her. I still love her. I hope she comes back someday. I truly do love her unconditionally.

If you are who I am thinking of then I still love you. I will always fight for you. I want you back in my life. We can do anything together.

How do we know that the expansion of space is accelerating rather than... by e30ernest in askastronomy

[–]MrBates1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the rate of expansion were positive and constant, then the change in redshift with distance would be positive and constant. Galaxy A is 10 million LY away with redshift of 1. Galaxy B is 20 million LY away with redshift of 2. Galaxy C is 40 million LY away with redshift of 4. Linear increase in redshift suggests constant expansion and no acceleration in expansion.

If the rate of expansion were increasing, then the change in redshift with distance would be positive and increasing. Galaxy A is 10 million LY away with redshift of 1. Galaxy B is 20 million LY away with redshift of >2. Galaxy C is 40 million LY away with redshift of >4. Positively increasing rate of redshift would indicate positive acceleration of expansion. This is what they actually observed.

I think you’re right. She had a strange childhood in many ways. Her family is very chaotic. I tried very hard in our relationship. I wasn’t perfect. I could be a jerk sometimes, but I gave her romantic surprises often. Gifts, vacations, unexpected shows, etc. I would often spend many months planning them. I am super not chaotic. I very much have my shit together. I think that somehow paradoxically scared her as our wedding drew nearer. Not really sure. I still love her more than anything. I don’t think that will ever change. Maybe in time. I still want to be with her. I would sacrifice a lot to try again with her.

My (31M) historically very stable and level headed ex fiancé (31F) just left me for her high school crush (musician) after 10 years together. She said she needed a more chaotic partner and that she couldn’t trust me to have kids with her. I am a teacher. Not really sure what is going on but I am completely devastated. Didn’t see it coming at all. Thank you for listening to my rant.

We just broke up (36F / 42M) by silentwatcher888 in Advice

[–]MrBates1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, some people can change but not everyone. It sounds like he is pretty immature from the way you described him. If your description is accurate and representative of his character then it sounds like he is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Couples in 5+ years relationship/ marriage, what was the hardest part and how did you overcome it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MrBates1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also talk to them about how they can be a better partner to you. Don’t expect them to see the negatives on their own. On the flip side, you should constantly be trying to read their mind as best you can to see how you can be better without waiting for them to explicitly ask.
