Safely bypass rotating plate, heat chocolate for 1 minute, measure distance (D) between melty spots, calculate 2DF. Averaged to within 20% of correct value! -
Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 16-Jan-2020 17:20:45 UTC Stephen Sekula The theme for this semester's @SMUPhysics #HonorsPhysics is "The Physics of Video Games and Gaming"! Students will explore physics in the context of game design, execution, coding, and hardware. Enroll in #PHYS1010 today! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1217858387595100160/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62858 -
Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Sunday, 12-Jan-2020 20:30:43 UTC Stephen Sekula I am pleased to be teaching @SMUPhysics #HonorsPhysics again this semester. My learning assistant and I will be doing a new theme for the course. To learn about it, check out the "teaser trailer"! https://smu.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=712b0b22-50f3-421e-b645-ab40001dd54e https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1216455354915217409/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/62813 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Saturday, 07-Jul-2018 22:51:04 UTC Stephen Sekula .@SMU #HonorsPhysics flashback: that evening we explored heat, cold, and pressure: a soda can is heated with water in it; water evaporates and pushes air out; inverted into cold water, vapor in can condenses, partial vacuum results, and CRUNCH! The power of air pressure! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1015729555632467970/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/51249 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Needs results of this in two weeks. Science. Ain't it a thing. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/979483359104716802/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49397 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments
