New blog!

Hello fellow humans!

I have decided to keep my brain segregated into my two trains of thought for these blog posts. Let's face it, you're going to read both because I'm an excellent writer (note the exuding of confidence through the computer) but for those who don't care about what I have to say on day to day topics, and only enjoy my magnificent opinions on science-related topics, this page is for you! I even have a cool new URL.. I think. I'm no pro at this (ask the $0.05 I've earned from these posts). I realize one of you probably accidentally clicked on the ad and BAM, I earned half a penny (which only exists in the meta-world now a days, at least in Canada). So thanks for helping feed a starving student kind patron!

Unfortunately, it's way too much work to transfer the science posts from "NOT A JOURNAL", my other fantastic blog, to this one, so, guess I'm starting fresh. If you'd like any explanations of specific topics in science-related fields, feel free to comment them! I actually might consider doing some, like very little, research for this blog.

So sit back, relax, and prepare, because YOU GON' LEARN TODAY.
That's a reference to something.. I don't remember what though.

Good start Jay...

You're Always Halfway There

The word half is weird. Think about it, if I have a long rope, say 10 feet long, and want to cut it in half as many times as I can, what would be the length of that rope when I'm finished? Sounds like one of those math problems you got in school that seemed easy and then ended up being a "What the #%!& is going on?" question. Because it is . If I cut the 10 foot rope in half, I'll have two 5 foot ropes. If I cut one of them in half, well, I'll have two 2.5 foot ropes. If I cut one of those in half 10 more times, I'll have two 0.0024 foot ropes. That's about 0.03 inches or about 0.7 mm. That's about half the thickness of a dime. Pretty thin, but if you see where I'm going, theoretically you can cut that in half again and do so for infinity. In real life, well.. I would have stopped cutting that rope a while ago since it's quite difficult to cut a half inch rope, never mind one that's less than 0.1 inches. Regardless of the fact th...

Reality of Relativity

I came across an interesting question which brought me back to highschool physics. Want to hear it? Probably why you're here... If I'm travelling forward in a car at the speed of a bullet, and my partner in crime shoots an actual bullet out of the back of the car (ignoring the windshield), what happens to the bullet? Hm, seems simple right? It is if you have a basic understanding of vectors! Remember vectors? Imagine an arrow, pointing in the direction of the car, and another pointing in the direction the bullet was fired. So you should be picturing two arrows pointing in the opposite direction of each other. Now vectors aren't just arrows, they represent both direction AND magnitude. Magnitude in this case being the speed of the bullet, which was also the speed of the car. So these arrows (vectors) are equal in length (representing the magnitude) and opposite in direction. Pretty easy to follow, right? Now, here is where I want you to think of the scenario mentio...
