One has to love the spn famdom

“when ur otp does the frick frack!!!!”

you’re allowed to say ‘when they fuck’. it’s ok. you don’t need to talk about ‘doing the do’ or ‘the frickle frack’ or the ‘heck dang’. you aren’t a fucking infant call sex what it is

I actually quite like studying in winter - it’s very cozy sitting there with some tea and coffee (yes, I need both!). No matter what subject you try to memorise. #studying #physics #isingmodel #badhandwriting

Very true

Something we should all remember.

New York-based artist and CollegeHumor head illustrator Jacob Andrews has plucked some of the most spine-tingling two-sentence horror stories from the depths of Reddit, and turned them into a short series of chilling comics.

Quite a story...still got chills.

My friend learned the hard way to not answer the door to late night trick-or-treaters

by reddit user manen_lyset

We all have that one friend who’s not into the holidays. You know the one: won’t decorate, won’t dress up, won’t wish you a happy -whatever day it is-, and, though he’ll reluctantly agree to come to your themed party, he’ll stay in the back and scowl the whole time. In most cases, the hate is directed at just one holiday, whether it be Valentines, Christmas, Easter, or, hell, even arbor day. My friend Patrick? He hated Halloween with every fiber of his being.

So true

I actually got chills due to the last lines...

Patrickmelon xD

This a Moonmelon, scientifically knows as asidus. This fruit grows in some parts of Japan, and is known for its vibrant blue color. What you probably don’t know about this fruit is that it can switch flavors after you eat it. Everything sour will taste sweet, everything salty will taste bitter, and it gives water a strong orange-like taste. It’s also very expensive…costing about ￥16000 JPY (which is about 200 dollars).

Yup, feeling the same... But I am studying Master of Physics so there's no going back anymore. Thank you for sharing your feelings, it helps not being the only one.

So um. Do I even like physics or have I been lying to myself?

I say this not in the sense of imposter syndrome. I don’t feel ashamed about it. If my passion lies elsewhere, that’s totally fine. I just wonder. Have my motivations for studying physics been more fundamentally vain than I originally thought? Or does it have real substance?

Is that why I feel like I’m suffering all the time?

To anyone who claims to love their subject of study. Do you think about it when you’re not supposed to be working? Is it ingrained into any of your hobbies? Is it your hobby?

Physics… Has actually never been a hobby for me. I kinda question whether I’ve ever actually enjoyed it or just enjoyed the idea of it.

I mean, c’mon. It sounds so badass to say, “I’m a physicist.”

So confusing.

When people ask me for book recommendations for physics (and quite frequently) I have to Google recommendations. Have I even read a physics-related book for pure fun? I… Don’t think I ever have.

But. You know. Senior year. The optimum year to worry about your life choices. I’m trying to push these feelings down to a more manageable level but they keep popping back up. Problem is, there doesn’t seem to be a “proper” way to deal with this.

Avoiding intrusive thoughts is like holding a beach ball underwater. It will come back up until you pop the damn thing.

Best explanation of gravitational waves I've seen in a long time!

Black Holes are not so Black (Part 3) - Gravitational Waves

The existence of Gravitational Waves have been confirmed. But you probably have heard that. In this post, we will break down this profound discovery into comprehend-able chunks.

This is going to be a amazing journey. Ready ?

Redefining Gravity

When we usually talk of Gravitation we are bound to think like Newton, where objects are assumed to exerting a force upon each other.

Like imaginary arrows of force in space. But this picture, although good for high school crumbled, with the advent of Einstein’s theory of Relativity.

What is the Space-Time Fabric?

Think of space-time fabric as an actual cloth of fabric. ( An analogy )

When you place an object on the fabric, the cloth curves. This is exactly what happens in the solar system as well.

The sun with such a huge mass bends the space-time fabric. And the earth and all the planets are kept in orbit by following this curvature that has been made by the sun.

Attributing to the various masses of objects, the way they bend this fabric also varies.

What are Gravitational Waves?

If you drop an object in a medium such as water, they produce ripples that propagate as waves through the medium.

Similarly, Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time fabric produced when you drag heavy objects through space time.

And the nature of these waves is that they don’t require a medium to propagate.

How do you make one?

Everything with mass/energy can create these waves.

Source

Two persons dancing around each other in space too can create gravitational waves. But the waves would be extremely faint.

You need something big and massive accelerating through space-time in order to even detect them.

And orbiting binary stars/black holes are valuable in this retrospect.

How can you detect them?

Let’s turn to the problem to detecting them assuming you do find binary stars/black-holes in the wondrous space to suite your needs.

Well, for starters you cannot use rocks/ rulers to measure them because as the space expands and contracts, so do the rocks. ( the distances will remain same in both the cases )

Here’s where the high school fact that the speed of Light is a constant no matter what plays an important and pivotal role.

If the space expands, the time taken for light to reach from A to B would be longer. And if it contracts, the time taken for it to reach from A to B would be smaller.

PC: PHDComics

By allowing the light waves from the contraction and expansion to interfere with each other, such as done in any interferometry experiment we can detect the expansion or contraction. Voila!

And this is exactly what they did! ( on a macroscopic level ) at LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory)

14 September 2015

Two Black Holes with masses of 29 and 36 solar masses merged together some 1.3 Billion light years away.

Two Black Holes colliding is the header animation of the ‘Black Holes are not so Black Series’, in case if you haven’t noticed.

The merger of these two black holes results in the emission of energy equivalent to 3 solar masses as Gravitational Waves.

This signal was seen by both LIGO detectors, in Livingston and Hanford, with a time difference of 7 milliseconds.

And with the measurement of this time difference, physicists have pronounced the existence of Gravitational Waves.

Source

All this is most certainly easily said than done and requires meticulous and extensive research, not to mention highly sensitive instruments.

Had they not have measured this time difference, we might have had to wait for the merger for more massive black holes to collide and maybe even build more sensitive instruments to detect these waves.

And Einstein predicted this a 100 years back!

Mind Blown!

Note: Hope you are able to understand and appreciate the profundity of the discovery done by mankind.

Oh I wonder for who it was the most akward 😁

So, this is a thing that happened. Misha & Matt in a compromising position. #spnnj   X
