This Is Not Yellow - Vsauce

It’s Physics Friday, and here is a video from Michael at Vsauce that will BLOW your mind! What you are seeing right now is not yellow …

That’s right. You are not seeing yellow. Watch this video to see what you are actually seeing.

P.S. - If you look at the banner at the top of my blog you’ll see a picture of the visual spectrum of light laid overtop a picture of the Rose Nebula. That tiny sliver of yellow in the very middle, it’s not yellow …

fuckyeahfluiddynamics:

What happens to a wet washcloth when wrung out in space? Astronaut Chris Hadfield answers this question from students with a demonstration. Without gravity to pull the water downward, surface tension effects dominate and the wrung cloth forms a tube of water around it. Surface tension and capillary action draw the fluid up and onto Hadfield’s hands as long as he holds the cloth. After he lets go, we see that the water remaining around the cloth soaks back in (again due to capillary action) and the wet, twisted washcloth simply floats without releasing water or relaxing its shape. While pretty much what I would have expected, this was a very cool result to see! (Video credit: C. Hadfield/CSA; submitted by Bobby E)

RL has hijacked us all; I am now a nationally certified Emergency Medical Technician and in classes for my Intermediate, which means lots of clinical hours and shifts at Fire Departments.

I’m jet-lagged and ready for sleep, but I wanted to say that this year is definitely better than the last; no dark elves!

I hope everyone had a safe holiday.

Hmmm. ouch, I think.

That’s fair.

~~They’re pretty “ouch” price-wise anyway :c.~~

Fashion isn’t really high on my list, as you know, so I am really not the best judge.

No.

I don’t actually like Eggnog.

Stop.

I always think “Maybe this year, I’ll LOVE egg nog!”

It has never been that year.

I like the nutmeg.

Dr. Banner, it's so lovely to see you posting again! I'll bet you and The Other Guy have been busy fighting crime and doing various scientific tasks, but I'm glad you're still around from time to time. Happy holidays!

Tue, 25 Dec 2012 23:53:55 -0500

If by crime you mean frostbite in Nepal, then yes, exactly that.

Happy Holidays to you as well; thank you.

No. I don’t actually like Eggnog. Stop.

Just a word to the wise; trying to get me to ‘hulk out’ because you think he’s more festive might not be merry for all.

RPing with us

marvelrpers:

“Hi, in your FAQ it says if we want to RP with you guys we “just start chatting with our characters ICly in a light tumbler format”, forgive my noob-ness but what is ICly in a light Tumblr format?”

No worries; it’s kind of hard to explain concisely. Basically, we mean creating an account and then participating in our conversations (like this one, for instance), but not trying to jump right into heavy prose and plot. I know that I, personally (frostblooded) will NOT write prose unless it’s planned ahead of time, but I’m happy to write banter/Internet dialogue with the whole universe (Loki is less happy about it, but no one cares what he thinks). Does that make sense?

(made this Ask into a regular post since we are coming back to activity again—you can see what characters are already on our official roster here, though we will interact casually with err’body).
