That one Tyson seminar where he talks about the limits of knowledge, like when Newton decided that God must take an occasional active role to keep the planets aligned because he couldn't explain discrepancies in his formulas, does anyone have a link for that? Absolutely cannot find it

well, I'd wouldn't be as upset if it were named gadget porn weekly or popular wild-eyed futurists with boners for engineering jerking off all over each other or something
It's called Popular Science? Not exactly the MIT Physics Review Quarterly?
I dunno, I guess I just sort of resent the notion that real science is this super dense, boring thing that only intellectuals care about and that the layman is resigned to rubbing his dick on the latest missile system or whatever
Yeah, PopSci not so much, but I've been really happy that Scientific American (at least the majority of the online viewable articles) seems to be filling the gap between layman dick rubbing and dudes in white coats at a computer
But I try not to buy "science" magazines because they're full of ads for dick pills and pheromone cologne

i'm not going to get into it because i don't remember the specifics enough. but things that are dense but not solid like a sandbag.
the test i saw, the bullet stopped dead in the sandbag. the arrow shot through to the other side. remember-- a lot an arrow's power comes from its own physics in air. the twisting and torsion of the shaft.
whereas a bullet is pretty much a force as a result of an explosion behind it and that's it

There are just too many variables to accurately say "arrows penetrate better than bullets" especially with a test of firing into a sandbag. Yeah in that situation an arrow might be a superior solution. But kevlar? Steel plates? Metal sheets? Hell even wood? Yeah I'd much prefer a bullet 9 out of 10 times.
edit: I know Futore was talking about specific scenarios especially with the idea of "gel armour" but this just reminded me of an argument I had with another person who said a bow and arrow beats a gun any day which still pisses me off to this day

Thank you, I knew it had a title like that
I don't know why this post made me think of this, but

That's pretty fucking cool

he's written like 8
death by blackhole is probably your best start
Death by Black Hole is pretty awesome. It's really just a compilation of lectures with extra stuff, you'll really recognize his tone and everything.
here go
This is important.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
people have actually been experimenting with this notion for a long time
I'm going to claim it was my idea first
so have powered suit armored with that (imagine it'd be lighter than metal armor) with like, mini-laser defenses to shoot down explosive projectiles
then people would just go back to bow and arrows
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
not
exactly?
it's shock tension
like water mixed with corn starch
where when the surface experiences a sudden shock it tenses up around the area
If a working penis enlargement pill is ever created it will be on the front page of every newspaper.
an arrow is just a slower bullet though
so is this guy handicapped beforehand or like noted as the weakest asian?
because 3 sandbags is like kinda heavy, yeah. but uhhhhh
Maybe he juggled them after that photo was taken.
nah
dudes don't want anyone to know they'd need one
Pip has a point with what he's saying. He's right with what the theory is.
but arrows i bring it up because arrows have way more penetrating power than the majority of small arms bullets
uh, no way dude
you don't share that shit
your 10 inch dick isn't special when everyone's got a 10 inch dick

What spring does with the cherry trees.
this is kinda true. buttttt the manufacturer would be a like a Fortune 50 company
no dice, it doesn't make the sound.
Thats pretty cool.
Really? Even like a full size rifle round like 7.62x51mm or something?

Twas a sound effect duderr.

yes. i realize that.
and until they get an assault rifle that sounds exactly like that i do not care.
