UbuWeb Troll Science/Troll Physics About Troll Science, also known as “Troll Physics”, is a rage comic series illustrating various experiments that are based on faulty understanding of scientific concepts. The intentionally pseudo-scientific drawings are often used to mislead the viewers or frustrate science educators and students for their obvious errors. Origin While troll science is rumored to have started on 4chan, the earliest known example was submitted to the f7u12rage comic subreddit in a post titled “Troll Physics” on September 13th, 2010. Spread On September 13th, 2010, Redditor zarbob submitted a post to the f7u12 subreddit titled “Troll physics again, the magnet helmet”, which featured a drawing of a trollface soldier wearing a helmet with a magnet on it, implying that the magnetism would attract any bullets away from the wearer’s body (shown below). On September 30th, the website Troll Science was launched, which served as a database for troll science images. Notable Examples Search Interest External References
Physics and Flash Flash is well-known for producing spiffy animations. Not as well-known is how to use it for demonstrations in the sciences using proper mathematical equations to control the motions. Using proper Physics equations for animations is also useful for realistic games. This small document is a tutorial in exploiting the capability of using equations to control animations. We will create 5 different animations below. When this document was written, the current Flash program was MX 2004. The Undamped Harmonic Oscillator We will use a harmonic oscillator, such as a mass oscillating on a spring, as our example. A is the maximum amplitude of the oscillation. (pronounced omega naught) is the "natural" angular frequency of oscillation, and depends on the mass and the particular spring. t is the time. (pronounced phi) is called the "phase angle" of the oscillation, and essentially depends on what moment in time we choose to call zero. Faking It Our undamped oscillator will have a period of 2.0 seconds.
How 1 MILLION Pounds Of Organic Food Can Be Produced On 3 Acres By Andy Whiteley Co-Founder of Wake Up World The quality and accessibility of our food supply is a mounting issue today. With GMOs, chemical pesticides and low-nutrition processed foods now commonplace in the mainstream supply, taking control of your own food supply is one of the smartest things you can do – for your health and for your hip pocket. So, with limited space, how can we create an independent food supply? I recently came across this amazing video of a man, urban farmer Will Allen, who has figured out a self-sustaining system that can grow 1 million pounds of food every year, on just 3 acres of land, using the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a re-circulating system. If you’re interested in starting your own Aquaponics system in your home, be sure to check out our exclusive special offer to Wake Up World readers at the bottom of this page.

The experiment demonstrates the fluidity and high viscosity of pitch, a derivative of tar that is the world's thickest known fluid and was once used for waterproofing boats. Thomas Parnell, UQ's first Professor of Physics, created the experiment in 1927 to illustrate that everyday materials can exhibit quite surprising properties. At room temperature pitch feels solid - even brittle - and can easily be shattered with a hammer. The experiment explained In 1927 Professor Parnell heated a sample of pitch and poured it into a glass funnel with a sealed stem. Since then, the pitch has slowly dripped out of the funnel - so slowly that it took eight years for the first drop to fall, and more than 40 years for another five to follow. The late Professor John Mainstone became the experiment's second custodian in 1961. See for yourself Related links UQ Physics Museum
How to Preserve Food by Robert Wayne Atkins How to Preserve Food for Future Consumption Using Three Simple Old Fashioned Methods Copyright © May 7, 2010 by Robert Wayne Atkins, P.E. All Rights Reserved. Click Here for a Microsoft WORD printer friendly copy of this article. Basic Food Safety Precautions Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any type of food. The Three Traditional Food Preservation Methods There are three simple ways to preserve food using traditional old fashioned procedures that do not require any special chemicals, or salt, or equipment: In the ground. In the Ground (Appropriate for Carrots and Radishes in the Fall) Leave the vegetables in the original ground where they grew during the summer. This technique works well with carrots and radishes. Mulch the ground above the vegetables with a thick layer of straw. However, if the weather has not yet turned cold and you leave radishes in the ground then they will go to seed. In a Root Cellar (Appropriate for Some Vegetables and Some Fruits) Carrots: Cut off the crown.
