  1. +Max Webster When things are large and move slowly, it is much better to stick with Newtonian physics. To throw around curvature of spacetime is only confusing here.

  2. +Shaheer Syed I think you have totally confused yourself here. When you glue the balls together you can treat it as object with double the gravitational mass and also double the inertia. Just like all of the single molecules are "glued" together. The important point here is the special relation between gravitational mass and inertia, which allows for this to happen.

  3. Yassin Kortam In order to be a douchebag, I would need to wear tight V-neck shirts, visit the tanning salon and the fitness studio regularly, call other men "bro" and be creepy towards women.

  4. Captain Crunched True, it was an example.

  5. Ethan Licorice That's not a moral dilemma, that's something you dislike.

  6. No. He nailed it while the others didn't. An unbalanced force causes a change in speed: a ~ F

  8. +a vigilantes charisma That's because the earth is flat.

  9. Rotation is the stochastics of physics. So counter intuitive and so few really understand it.

  10. +Özcan Yılmaz That mass doesn't matter for the acceleration in the drop is taught in school. Not necessarily quite why that is. Nor what interesting questions this poses. Why is inertia tied in such a way to gravity?

  12. I fall a lot without thinking about the ground displacing me in spacetime while the distance between me and the ground shrinks.

  13.  @chimerablack4913  Seems like you were completely unsuccessful in automating yourself out of jobs.

  14. I had no idea about the BS told about those lamps. I thought they were just for looks (and a mineral source for your pets).

  15.  @pablogarin  Getting a "no" is not as valuable, which is exactly why this bias exists in the first place. Relevant real world patterns aren't super simple things that simply don't occur because of their simplicity, but complex things that first have to be found. So you'd be getting "no" answers all of the time and a "yes" answer is what you're fishing for. In the end it's not about no or yes, but about decreasing entropy and how that's best achieved depends on your assumptions, which can never be fully checked or justified.

  17. Ok, but why do you need two wires?

  18. You people are so dumb it actually hurts me. Pretty much all epidemiologists warned of the same thing. You don't need to be a genius to figure out that there would be a pandemic in the future. I honestly can't understand how you can be so ignorant.

  21. +The Parasyte The spine was not broken, only the nerve cut - as shown in the video. Still you are right, it is a very drastic procedure.

  22. The Parasyte I wish I could respond in a nice manor, but so far I can't afford one. At least I can respond in a nice manner though. ; D

  23. +Leeroy Kincaid I think you are confused about what "fundamental level" means. It is 100% correct on a fundamental level, but in practice other phenomena play a role, which he omitted.

  24. +Calvin Alexander Tandi You should search up the Japanese guy, who does head transplantations on rats.

  25. +Murillo Ferraz Actually that's cutting edge physics. To my knowledge there is no reason why interial mass should equal gravitational mass.

  26. +Anto Rukbo No, the slinky is not a compression spring, but a tether. It won't take anything away from your impact.
    1
  27. +Garrett Romine The downward force is always there (gravity), but as the slinky collapses, the elastic force, which counters the gravitational force, is taken away. Thus there is an imbalance of forces and the bottom drops down too.

  28. +Sigma Octantis That's about air resistance. The air accelerates the heaver ball less upwards than the lighter one. I think air resistance and friction are a few of the main obstacles in understanding mechanics, so it's fair to discuss the whole thing without them at first.

  29. TheDeltaniner No one ever makes this argument a posteriori. Why don't we destroy all heaters so that chimney cleaners have jobs again?

  30. +d.c. torres Well that's because you don't see moons falling down to earth usually. XD But yes, they would be accelerated the same.

  31. So I should copy the theoretical physics questions with my horrible handwriting? Hm...

  32. Gravity is not an "illusion" - you are drawn downwards, aren't you? - it's an emergent property of a curved spacetime (not curved "space"). What you are thinking about is not neutrinos, but gravitons and "physically" and "magnetically" are not complementary terms.

  33. +Arvin Khoshboresh Which part?

  34. There is plenty. Even if all induction and all predictions big bang theory got right are not enough for you, you can actually LOOK at it: Cosmic Background Radiation.

  35. WinDowGaming Well you don't swim with the sharks in an aquarium. The sharks could be as malevolent as it gets, they simply have no way of hurting any humans.

  36. +Willoughby Krenzteinburg You don't need to rationalize any of it in order to work with it.
    1
  37. Willoughby Krenzteinburg No, it's knowing how to throw the ball, but not having a rationalization for why it flies the way it does.
    1
  38. Willoughby Krenzteinburg Yes and I explained how that is.
    1
  39. Willoughby Krenzteinburg Where is your problem? You are talking with two people, who practice physics every day and all you do is claim over and over again, that one needs to have justified laws in his mind, in order to apply them. That's simply not true. I think I was clear enough. When you have problems understanding me, just ask. What is your rationalization of quantum physics? I can tell you another one, which is just as valid. You are utterly disconnected from the reality in science and engineering.

  40. +RayneStormn God is the master of hurting animals. For millions of years every single second has been filled with unimaginable suffering. That is the world of your god.

  41. Ambika Pathak "speed, velocity are relative terms, earth may be moving faster than light wrt some other galaxy" No, no, no. That's exactly what we learned is not true. Speeds do not simply add up. That's what special relativity is all about. : D The reason why galaxies are moving "faster than light" relative to eachother is that the space between them expands. They never travel through space at a relative velocity greater than c.

  43. It's kind of like with aging. Everyone is for combating all kinds of cancers, heart diseases, vascular diseases, Alzheimer, digestive diseases, etc. But when you put it all together and say you want to stop aging, they turn into misanthropes all of the sudden and want their fellow humans to age and die slow and agonizing deaths.

  44. That contradicts what you said in the video before.

  45. That's a nice thought, but the world was created when the fire of Muspelheim met the ice of Nilfheim.

  46. +Craki Enough... heat? O_o How can you hold it in your hand if it gets that hot?
    1
  47. Craki Not that effectively at least. The effects of the long wave radiation were already discussed in the video. Even if it had a measurable effect, the effect of changing temperature due to weather and seasons would be much greater. And we deal with this just fine.

  48. +Tarek E The earth and the ball attract eachother. The earth and the moon attract eachother. In both cases the earth stays the same. The mass changes from ball to moon, but with it also the inertia. So the moon falls as fast as the ball.

  49. No, Lord Krishna was sleeping in the coils of the eternal serpent, when a lotus grew out of his navel. On the lotus appeared Brahman. Vishnu then ordered Brahman to create the world and so he did.
