Science is Cool....

This is a repository for all cool scientific discussion and fascination. Scientific facts, theories, and overall cool scientific stuff that you'd like to share with others. Stuff that makes you smile and wonder at the amazing shit going on around us, that most people don't notice.

Post pictures, vidoes, stories, or links. Ask questions. Share science.

Why should I care?:

Listen here dick-lips, you keep posting this bullshit and I'll keep replying.

Deal with it you scared piece of shit!

By the way asshole, the rocks at Rudee Inlet, they're just as high out of the water as they were in the 70s. So..... No global warming! And if there is, the "oceans rising" part was wrong!

Why don't you send Neil in to lower the rocks? You know, to fake the data your ignorant-ass "scientists" seem to have perfected!

You idiot!

You're the one posting bullshit from a wanna-be scientist who makes his coin in front of the camera instead of in a lab. So why don't you at least pawn bullshit from your self-proclaimed "scientists" who work in a lab instead of NASAwood?

By the way, the intercoastal waterway IS higher today after 1.5 inches of rain, but the rocks at the jetty are in the same place they were in 1976, so tell you friends that they need to adjust their "DOOM!!!!!" relative to rising oceans. At this rate (since it's apparently at ZERO!), we have nothing to worry about.

Science can be decidedly uncool, too. Had heard of this, but hadn't seen a video outlining it succinctly until now

The infamous Soviet Kaufmann problems.

My colleagues and I published a pretty interesting analysis this past week in the European Journal of Public Health.

I wouldn't call this "cool," but figured this is the best thread for this. Hubble's in trouble, and that makes me sad.

Hubble Space Telescope taken offline after gyroscope failure
The instrument has literally discovered the age, size, and fate of our universe.
ERIC BERGER - 10/8/2018, 4:15 PM

NASA placed its venerable Hubble Space Telescope into a "safe mode" on Friday evening because of gyroscope problems, the space agency confirmed Monday. Although science operations are expected to resume fairly soon, the current issues raise concerns about the future of the invaluable scientific instrument.

-----

The article goes on, but the gist is that it's not toast, but it may only operate in a diminished mode. Regardless, it's sad to think that such an incredibly valuable instrument won't last forever.

In a related note, there's a nice little documentary on Voyager available on Netflix.

I'm watching some show about the Apollo missions, and they were talking about the Saturn V rocket. Apparently it reached supersonic speeds within one minute of liftoff, and got up to Mach 7 as it rose. That's pretty impressive. One of the astronauts said that it's still the most powerful vehicle ever built.

One of the astronauts on board said that he was in the seat waiting to take off, and the seats were arranged so that he was looking up toward the sky. He said there were a couple of seagulls flying overhead, and he always wondered what happened to them. Ah. It's Apollo 8. Lovell, Borman, and Anders. I think that's a really underrated mission, because they were the first guys to go around the moon.

National Geographics "Mars" comes back in November for season 2.

Also, my son and I started watching Hulu's "The First". It's another show about going to Mars with Sean Penn as the lead. Three episodes in, not much space or science yet. So far it's more drama. Setting the stage I suppose? Surprisingly it's pulled in a 7 yr old. Lol

Just saw an interview with directors of a sci-fi flick called "Prospect" I hadn't seen anything about. It hits theaters November 1st. Looks interesting, I'll definitely check it out.
