Re: Useless Info Thread
I have always wondered why we fear snakes more than other animals. Is our brain trying to tell us something about this animal that we can't figure out?

Re: Useless Info Thread
no cause mass is relevant to weight in space so a beach ball in the pool with 1000 beetles on it isn't heavier because the beach balls total mass displacement hasn't changed. Originally Posted by Sorvete

Re: Useless Info Thread
Correct! people are made from minerals and materials found in our planet. One could argue saying that asteroids and meteors actually add mass to our planets, but i think that in 1000 years, this mass is irrelevant.
Next question. A toy car is descending on a 30º inclinated surface. If I drop a half kilo brick on the car from an height of 1m, what would happen?
