    That thing that Gavin said about your phone being the same size was a classic example of Gavin being right, but not knowing how to explain it.
    What he meant was, no matter how far away or how close you are to a mirror, you (or an object) are always the same size.
    You can see this if you trace your phone with a dry erase marker on a mirror, then step back 2 feet and trace the reflection. :-)

      It’s more defined than color or numbers though, because there exists a definite number of senses, we just can’t name them all.
      There is not a definite number of colors in the same way there is not a definite amount of numbers between 0 and 1 - you can continue to increase the margin to make the number/color gradient infinitesimally small, but you cannot do that for the number of human senses, at least not infinitely.

    Question:
    If I take a pre-cooled 5 gallon plastic bucket and fill it with iced water (33' F) does the entire 5 gallons of water instantaneously turn to ice when it reaches 32' F ? OR does the water require some time at 32' F or less for the water to turn to ice? I was always under the belief that the water instantaneously turns to a solid block of ice within seconds after reaching 32" F or less? Before a hurricane, people NEED ice. I thought this could be an easy way to produce large quantities of giant cylinders of ice in short time. Please respond.

    Burnies problem is he doesnt actually have any perception of the power and speed of a Tiger, hes never fought so he doesnt understand that theres a keen difference between intellectual and perceptive limits and physical limits. He can outsmart a Tiger but its futile because said Tiger has enough power to break both his arms and the Table or chair he uses from said room. Now even if he manages to avoid a strike and go for the Tigers eyes or throat as he says. He wont be able to move quick enough to land a counter before recieving the next strike, in other words, in close quarters with a Tiger, he would not be able to block strikes, nor avoid them imdefinately, nor counter them, so any plan involving that would be futile, so even with a gun, his best bet is either to get out, or wound the animal enough that it doesnt want to eat him.

All the animals he talks about are not only much bigger than him, but have evolved into some of the most effective predators in the world, they literally evolved to be so good at fighting and ripping other animals to bits that even handguns and rifles wouldn't guarantee you winning if they're close enough.
      His argument is on the intellectual level of a 5 year old:
      "I could do that"
      "oh yeah? Prove it."
      "Nuh-uh, but I could."

    I'm a pilot so when she said you get thrust from air going over the wings that made me cry because that generates lift. The wing is an airfoil that is created from Bernoulli's principle that if molecule A (goes over the top) and molecule B (goes under the bottom) are separated at the leading edge of the wing and the distance over the top of the wing is longer than the distance underneath then molecule A will be moving at higher speed with less pressure than molecule B creating lift. Thrust is generated from the prop throwing air behind the plane pushing it forward.

  • @Necrikus
    @Necrikus 8 років тому +2

    To add to the conversation about starving in a desert sandwich question, it is known that the brain does have the power to self-destruct the body. The brain can essentially send a message to the rest of the body to self-terminate, usually in an instance where it believes it is going to die anyway. Thus, I would have to guess that if the brain does send such a message if it believes it is about to die of starvation or something else, it may be prevented of self destructing if new information comes in that may prevent death.
    Of course, you'd run out of energy and material to stay alive after a while so you can't survive on hope alone.

    • @Necrikus
      @Necrikus 8 років тому +1

      Also, Burnie you are so full of shit if you think you could fight a tiger with your bare hands. Human intelligence means we can make and use guns, it doesn't stop tigers from being bigger, faster, and stronger than us; and people with guns still get killed by tigers. If that tiger wanted to kill you, it would pounce on you and tear you apart.

    • @RyuzZSoul
      @RyuzZSoul 8 років тому

      I think Burnie is just ignorant of the strength a tiger possesses. He agrees that he couldn't take on a bear but at the end of the day, the outcome is the same. A tiger is so much quicker, before you even have time to react, it would pounce, go for your throat, tear you limb from limb at the blink of an eye. If by some miracle you were able to, I don't know, jump on the animals back? It would flail around wildly with strength much greater than your own.
      However, a part of me still doesn't want to say the possibility is absolute zero, which is what I think Burnie really means when he says that. The possibility of him surviving, not killing, a tiger, is not 0 percent absolutely, but it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really low.
      Maybe the tiger's sick? Old, tired. You might be able to sneak up on it while it slept, there's an advantage there. You could create some kind of weapon on your person, like taking your belt and using it to try and strangle the animal, the chances of surviving are still severely low, but it isn't 0 percent.

    • @techjet3910

      +Bradley Coates (EvilKIRBY23) Nah, Burnies problem is he overvales intelligence. He thinks that "Oh, I'm smarter then an animal, I know where it's weakspot would be/the best point to hit it", which
      1)He has 0 idea if he is smarter then an animal or not, and
      2) While that might work for smaller animals, if you face a massive tiger, he only needs to scratch you once to hurt you enough to the point where you're fucked no matter what you do next.

    Airplanes don't propel themselves using torque on their wheels from a drive shaft.
    Their wheels are largely in a neutral state and they move by pushing air.
    So the ultimate question of what happens when you put a plane on a treadmill depends on how big the plane and tread mill is, what speed it's moving, the ambient wind speed, the orientation on the plane, and ultimately the friction of the wheel assembly compared to the friction on the ground - does the motion of the treadmill move the wheels in the wheel assembly.
    If it doesn't then the plane will move along on the treadmill until differences in air over the wings probably cause the plane to crash
    If it's lined up with the treadmill and the frictions are all tuned correctly, a plane will just basically roll off the treadmill. If you apply propelled force the plane more or less ignores the treadmill and takes off like normal
    In the real world there would probably be some kind of material failure at some point - we don't launch planes off treadmills because it's a stupid thing to do. But theoretically it basically works.

  • @Secundinius

    Fahrenheit was in fact developed with 100 degrees being the temperature of the human body, so it really is better for measuring temperature relative to the human feeling of how "hot" the world around you is.

    A plane can still take off on a treadmill because what moves it forward is the thrust from the engines. The wheels rolling on the ground have no effect on forward movement. If the treadmill was travelling at 20,000 mph the wheels would burn up before anything.

    A plane can take off on any flat surface, moving or otherwise. The engines are not pushing on the ground, they are pushing on the surrounding air. As long as the plane can move forward through the air around it, it will take off.

    I still insist that the plane would take off, because as the turbines would spin it would induce a slight air current underneath the wings which I believe would generate enough lift to ever so slightly reduce the downwards force on the wheels, which would in turn reduce the frictional force acting opposite to the thrust of the turbines, causing a net positive force in the "forward" direction and the plane would speed up, eventually moving quickly enough to take off. Further, as the plane's engines ran, it would burn fuel and become lighter also reducing the downward force on the wheels, and the rest would follow as described prior.

    • @DiskoSpider
      @DiskoSpider 7 років тому

      Alan Gresov the plane would take off but for none of the reasons you described. There seems to be a misconception here. A lot of people seem to be having it and I just figured it out myself and wanted to explain.
      The wheels are not powered on a plane. The force that pushes the plane forward is the engine. Unlike a car's engine, it is not in anyway connected to the wheels. A car's engine delibritely turns the wheels and makes the mass of the car move. Here the engine pushes the mass of the plane forward and the wheels are forced to turn underneath (again comparing them to a car, almost like they are always in neutral). This means that the ground is in a way irrelevant to the plane moving. Adding a treadmill like conveyor won't change this.
      The engine does not make the wheels turn and then in turn make the plane move, however it makes the plane move and in turn the wheels spin. The wheels act as an agent to reduce friction between the mass of the plane and the ground. The plane will always move forward no matter how the treadmill is constructed.

    • @AlanGresov
      @AlanGresov 7 років тому

      actually adding a treadmill does make a difference in practice, because the wheels aren't an ideal machine, if you have the treadmill moving fast enough, eventually the plane would no longer be able to accelerate forward because the frictional forces between the wheels and the connecting parts would cancel out the forward force vectors of the engines.

    So the plane take of question. If the planes on a treadmill, the plane doesn’t use its wheels to provide the force, it’s the jet engines that push the air behind it a massive velocities, so theoretically the plane would turn still be able to take off as the wheels would just roll over the treadmill

    Wait hold on I just realized something about the whole mirror question. It would take less than 2 years for us to see our reflection because we’re already sending light particles towards the mirror. Basically what I’m saying is that light from earth will already be hitting the mirror at the moment the mirror “appears”, and therefore, it would take exactly a year from the mirror appearing for us to see ourselves in it.
