haha I recognize this guy as a dude that would go through all the youtube comments and get into a fight with each and every person that said anything that wasn't 100% praise.

I just read Shadow Divers which was super good so I watched this documentary as well.

This is fun to watch and its cool but also its weird because it assumes that security is possible instead of just making yourself a less desirable target than the building across the street.

Just get a used copy of Understanding Physics by Isaac Asimov it will be 10x more interesting and 100x more complete than anything the forums will produce.

don’t we? I was pretty sure we knew it was basically the electromagnetic field attempting to even out..

like what does it mean to say we don’t know what it is? it’s a label for an interaction of one of the fundamental forces 🤔 what am I missing?

I guess you could argue that despite understanding it in depth on a number of levels, that doesn’t mean we know what it is.. but then the same could be said about anything in the field of fundamental physics right??

From the previously recommended Asimov book:

quote:

Franklin visualized a positive charge and negative charge as being analogous to the magnetic north and south poles, as far as attraction and repulsion was concerned. There is an important difference, however. The magnetism of the earth offered a standard method of differentiating between the magnetic poles, depending upon whether a particular pole pointed north or south. No such easy way of differentiating a positive charge from a negative charge existed.

A positive charge, according to Franklin, resulted from an excess of electric fluid, but since there is no absolute difference in behavior between "vitreous electricity" and "resinous electricity," how could one tell which electric charge represents a fluid excess and which a fluid deficit? The two forms differ only with reference to each other. Franklin was forced to guess, realizing full well that his chances of being right were only one in two-an even chance.

He decided that glass, when rubbed, gained electric fluid and was positively charged; on the other hand, when resin was rubbed it lost electric fluid and was negatively charged. Once this was decided upon, all electric charges could be determined to be positive or negative, depending on whether they were or repelled by a charge that was already determined to be positive or negative.

Ever since Franklin's day, electricians have considered the flow of electric fluid to be from the point of greatest positive concentration to the point of greatest negative concentration, the process being pictured as analogous to water flowing downhill. The tendency is always to even out the unevenness of charge distribution, lowering regions of excess and raising regions of deficit.

Note that he actually runs the literal actual street not just the length on a treadmill or whatever.

He proves its turing complete and then writes an emulator that plays mario with it.

There's a really good MEMS video on Applied Science where he kills a MEMS sensor with helium gas.

Content is infinite, you don't lose anything by applying whatever filter. If everyone just didn't click them for a week they'd go extinct and you'd have normal thumbnails again.
