A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
These days, everything seems to be made out shit & piss.
What if a planet that is Earth-sized falls down on Earth from let's say 5-10 meters though?
It would fall at 2g, because two Earth-sized masses attract each other in that case. With smaller objects it's just 1g, because the mass of, let's say, a nice cup of tea is negligible compared to the mass of Earth.
Due to air resistance, heavy objects do tend to fall slightly faster in atmosphere.
Take a balloon, fill it with air and drop it from a plane next to say a brick. The balloon may not hit the ground for awhile, especially if it gets caught in some air streams
The four phases of matter! Solid liquid gas and plasma!
Wait... What about the other 16 phases?! Those are the cool ones
Ice I, ice II, ... all the way to Ice XVI!
People have mentioned air resistance but the four elements also works as an early model of the states of matter.
there are more states
Yeah but as an ancient dude you can observe the classic 4 easily.
Something something friction
