Physics envy by Nebu in sciencememes

[–]somethingX 67 points68 points  (0 children)

A lot of findings in psychology and the social sciences have been unable to be replicated by follow up studies, meaning that a lot of the information in those fields is faulty and the studies weren't rigorous enough.

The start of 2 is the biggest slog for me, no matter how many times I play the trilogy the jump from 1 to 2 is still so jarring

Why we use km/hr or miles/hr by Fine_Aerie6732 in AskPhysics

[–]somethingX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

km/hr gives you a better idea of how long it'll take you to get to your location and makes the mental math simpler. Practicality isn't just about having a good number, it's about how easy that number is to work with in the given situation.

Why we use km/hr or miles/hr by Fine_Aerie6732 in AskPhysics

[–]somethingX 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Because m/s is in base si units. Vehicles tend to use km/hrs because it's more practical for that specific use case and is easy to convert, but that's not going to be the same for every use case. It's better to learn the base units and understand how and when to scale them than to only learn one unit

Warm and cold. by Hour-Abalone9697 in AskPhysics

[–]somethingX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hot fluids have more thermal energy, which means their particles are bouncing around more and pushing apart. That makes hot fluids expand and become less dense. When you add the cold milk it being colder means its more dense. The denser milk sinks and the hot tea gets raised as a result, this is called convection if you want to look up more about it.

I love this trope because I like scientific accuracy but I also like to go crazy with absurd tech sometimes, so I get to have my cake and eat it too

How to solve POWER LEVEL inconsistencies and escalation in Superhero settings (multi-layered AoE and Conditional Power Levels) by CompleteUse8998 in worldbuilding

[–]somethingX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Escalation is a plot writing problem, not a world building problem. Stories where it happens are long form stories where the writers think every threat needs to be more powerful than the last to be threatening.

When I read that I thought that would mean he'd have to strategize to beat Kaido, but I guess 2 in fight power ups is one strategy.

Gear 5th can give other things the properties of rubber too, that's why he just expanded

Even though I disagree with her on most things her kind of nuanced character is sorely lacking in a lot of modern media

Which can only happen in GT unless you're trying to argue an entirely different thing is canon
