"Physics on Tap" Jodi begins her talk about fantastic dark matter and where to find it. Jodi got invited by the DFW Tap Talks organization to give a short talk for the public. I tagged along for the event. I have always wanted to check out one of these âscience on tapâ talks, and I was not disappointed! ⦠Continue reading "Physics on Tap" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2020/02/23/physics-on-tap/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

"Up, up, and away" Jodi and I are off to Milwaukee, via Chicago, for the weekend. For two hours this week, I had some peace. Flights have some practical uses; one is to firewall you from the nonsense so rampant in this world. https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2020/02/14/up-up-and-away/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

The viral broomstick challenge is a dumb hoax (@washingtonpost) and 1 semester of introductory physics would be more than enough to see why. A simple lesson in mass, distribution of mass, and the local constancy of gravity. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/02/11/viral-broomstick-challenge-works-every-single-day/ -
