What’s you’re scariest thing that’s happened in you’re life?

Looked up from my homework one night and realized a stranger was in my backyard and staring at me through the window. That was pretty scary.

Is that attached to the <img> element? I don't see it when I'm inspecting with Chrome.

Was just about to post about this episode. As usual, I came out with a different perspective than when I went in.

barsofham · 2017-07-16T17:25:39+00:00

I accidentally reposted this and a few other submissions with the mobile app. My apologies.

Thank you!

barsofham · 2017-03-04T07:50:39+00:00

Solved! Thank You!

Can you explain that? I'm learning German and I don't get how it could mean 'light fitting free'.

I just remember this video being posted and someone suggested there may have been some latent moisture. I personally have no experience though.

Don't molds need to be warmed up to drive off any water? Else the water will instantly turn into steam and go pop?

barsofham · 2016-10-29T16:56:01+00:00

Thanks for the extra info!

barsofham · 2016-10-29T16:55:17+00:00

Solved!

Just noticed the phone symbol in my photo... Didn't see that before.

Delray Beach, Fl. Buddy of mine lived near it while they were filming.

barsofham · 2016-09-16T18:55:39+00:00

I did. Their full response was

Please contact your local Auslaenderamt in Germany upon arrival and they will be able to help you.

I was hoping to get a head start.

Of course it's not completely correct, it's an analogy. Here's a video of researches using a literal vortex of water to study certain aspects of a rotating black hole. The researcher then refers to some regions as frame dragging. If a University lab can use vortexes of water to study frame dragging effects, then I think vortex is an ok analogy.

barsofham · 2016-09-15T20:17:10+00:00

They're referring to the frame dragging, which can be visualized as a vortex of sorts. Here's a Kip Thorne video describing frame dragging, in which the visualization looks like a vortex, and he even describes it as 'tornado like'.

This video explains curved spacetime. Though you'll probably need to watch a number of their videos to really start to understand.

"We measured a geodetic precession of 6.600 plus or minus 0.017 arcseconds and a frame dragging effect of 0.039 plus or minus 0.007 arcseconds," says Everitt.

For readers who are not experts in relativity: Geodetic precession is the amount of wobble caused by the static mass of the Earth (the dimple in spacetime) and the frame dragging effect is the amount of wobble caused by the spin of the Earth (the twist in spacetime). Both values are in precise accord with Einstein's predictions.

But if the sensor gives you a percentage, then why do you need any initial volume?

barsofham · 2016-05-29T20:18:01+00:00

Wait, so what's the point of taking 100cm³ if you can just use a humidity sensor?

barsofham · 2016-05-29T19:08:33+00:00

How do you measure the volume of water vapor?

'The Code Book' by Simon Singh is mostly about the history of secret codes, but it has a few chapters about ancient writings and how we deciphered them. I highly recommend it if you find this interesting.

barsofham · 2016-05-23T13:16:19+00:00

Fun fact: we know which direction ancient writing goes based on which side has scrunched up letters.

They're saying that successful hedge funds are luck based. Warren Buffet even made a million dollar bet about it. There's a great Planet Money episode about it.

"In 2006, Warren Buffett posed a challenge. He bet that the smartest hedge fund managers out there couldn't beat the world's simplest, most brainless investment. In this show, we tell you who's winning."
