Common Physics Misconceptions
Isn’t it time that we stop teaching our kids that the Earth is flat? Sure, we can’t exactly jump into special relativity in 8th grade science classes, but surely we can bring physics education into the 20th, or maybe 21st century?
A fine message by Henry from minutephysics, to go along with his open letter to the President on physics education.
Stream the solar eclipse live from Australia
In under an hour the moon will pass between the sun and the earth and my attention will pass from cooking tea to watching the event live.

I don't believe in luck. I do believe we've known each other since forever, though. Her: Really? Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.

After months debate, scientists around the world now agree that NASA's Voyager 1 has become the first man-made object to leave our solar system (iknowsomeofyoumaywonderwhythismatters). And it only!! took 36 years to make the 12 billion mile-long journey.
Voyager is now on its way to another star. At it's current speed of 100,000 miles per hour, it'll only take her 40,000 years.

V for Vendetta
In a nutshell or two: I love aerospace. I'm an engineer, writer, a photographer, and a reader. And, of course, a blogger. I spent my high school years in New York City, managing to defy every urban bum new yorker stereotype (except for the "bum" part). My school life basically revolved around Aviation and Science Bowl. If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar (yea, ok) and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings. (and of course parentheses)
