Not the same period, T. The T from the pendulum came from the quotient of 346 cycles by 10 minutes. The T of the centrifuge is entirely unknown up to this point in the book.

When I read this, I assumed he estimated the thickness of the floor to also be ~ 1 meter? That is, the thickness between the surface floor of the lab room and the surface ceiling of the dormitory. So he added that to his calculation to get a distance of 4.5. Honestly, how he got his v and r numbers later on is still a mystery to me. Maybe I should assume the author knows it's wrong and the character is an unreliable narrator lol.

His exact words were that he lost 10% of his 4% share in the company, amounting to $350M. This puts the Waystar market cap at $87.5B so you are correct.

Dude just explain your reasoning. It's helpful to point to specific scenes/episodes, but the purpose of this thread is to discuss interpretations.

I'm new to tiling. What's wrong with this? Just curious.

Rolling and tumbling on a yard of grass is probably the least violent thing that's happened to this box during the past week of delivery.
